Final score: Wrexham 1–2 West Brom

Match preview

The Racecourse Ground prepares for an intriguing Championship clash on October 13, 2026, as newly-promoted Wrexham host West Bromwich Albion. For the Dragons, this fixture marks their true Championship debut, with their season stats currently a blank slate, offering no insight into their current form. All eyes will be on how Phil Parkinson’s side handles the step up, with home advantage and a passionate crowd likely to be key.

West Brom, meanwhile, arrive with a mixed bag of results this season, their 13 wins, 14 draws, and 19 losses painting a picture of inconsistency. However, recent form suggests an upturn, with two wins, two draws, and just one loss in their last five outings. The Baggies have a slight edge in recent head-to-head encounters, including a narrow 3-2 victory and a 2-2 draw, indicating these teams are no strangers to competitive matchups. With West Brom's greater experience at this level and Wrexham's unknown quality, the bookmakers see this as a finely balanced affair, heavily favouring a draw or an away win. What to watch for: can Wrexham’s Championship baptism be a dream start, or will West Brom’s recent momentum prevail? The midfield battle and early goals will be crucial.
