Wrexham has seen a decline in their Championship standing over recent weeks, now finding themselves closer to the relegation zone than the playoff positions.
Before the international break in October, Wrexham played to a 1-1 draw against their former League One rivals, Birmingham City.
In their preceding matches, they also ended with 1-1 ties against Leicester City and Derby County.
This has resulted in Wrexham currently occupying the 18th spot in the Championship table, just ahead of their next match against Stoke City.

The Championship is known for its unpredictability, and player Josh Windass recently shared insights on how teams can still secure playoff positions despite inconsistent performances.
Will Wrexham reach the Championship playoffs?
Historically, Wrexham has never concluded a season in the top half of the second tier, but the current season still has plenty of matches and points available.
Currently, Wrexham is only four points clear of the relegation zone and five points behind sixth-placed Queens Park Rangers.
In a recent discussion, Windass emphasized that consistent victories aren’t always necessary for a team to be in the running for the playoffs. He noted, “This league allows for a couple of losses followed by some wins without it affecting your standings too much. In contrast, in League One and League Two, any slip-ups can be detrimental.”
He continued, “Last season’s playoffs were filled with teams that didn’t accumulate an overwhelming number of wins, highlighting that if you can secure victory whenever possible, your chances remain alive.”
Opta’s Predictions for Wrexham’s Play-Off Chances
Owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney aim to elevate Wrexham to the Premier League, with the playoffs appearing to be their most viable path to this goal.
Historically, Wrexham has not achieved promotion through the playoffs, which may soon need to change if they aspire to leave the second tier.
As the latest matches approach, Opta currently gives Wrexham only a 6.70% probability of making it through the playoffs, while their likelihood of earning automatic promotion stands at a mere 1.40%.
