• Wrexham sit top of the list in the Championship for big chances missed, something that should improve over time.

• Sheffield Wednesday are averaging fewer than 200 successful passes per match, Wrexham are up at 272, albeit this is still lower than the Championship average.

• Wrexham’s total spending on transfers is now higher than all three promoted teams into the Championship last season combined.

Two of the most talked about teams in the early Championship season clash at the Rae Cas with Wrexham looking to pile more misery onto Sheffield Wednesday and earn their first Championship victory.

🔴 Wrexham Looking to Kickstart their Championship Season 

Wrexham have had a couple of exciting matches to start their campaign in the second tier, but they will be keen to punctuate that with their first points, preferably a win.

This is clearly a great opportunity for them to get off the mark, but with that comes a degree of pressure to deliver as well. The Wrexham team does have a lot of experience though, and I would back them to view this as an opportunity rather than be cowed by the pressure of the situation.

🔵 Sheffield Wednesday Continuing to Rely on Small Number of Players

The continuing saga around Wednesday’s ownership is having an impact on what they can do to recruit players, especially players of a certain quality to help them in the Championship. The recent record of the club for not paying their players on time cannot be helping them attract the right calibre of talent, as well as the lack of certainty around who will actually be writing the cheques for payment.

This means that the club is having to rely on the same players in every league match, and whilst that team is showing enough to be competitive, there isn’t enough strength in depth to make a difference from the bench, and if this continues, then there will be serious fatigue issues building up.

📊 Wrexham v Sheffield Wednesday H2H

This will only be the 16th meeting between the clubs in history, with the vast majority of those taking place in the late 1970s/1980s.

This is the first league season that these clubs have shared in the same division since a League One campaign in 2004/05.

They last met in the League Cup in 2006, 19 years ago.

The overall record favours Sheffield Wednesday eight wins to five.
