What Wrexham need to make play-offs and continue push for promotion to Premier League

  • Wrexham face a crucial final day of the Championship season on Saturday, hosting Middlesbrough in a three-way battle for a play-off spot against Hull and Derby.
  • The Welsh side, owned by Hollywood actors Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, are aiming for an extraordinary fourth successive promotion and the chance to play in the Premier League under manager Phil Parkinson.
  • Wrexham currently occupy the final play-off spot, but are only ahead of Hull on goal difference with just one goal separating the two teams.
  • Therefore, even a victory will not guarantee Wrexham a play-off spot, as Hull could win by a bigger margin and overtake them.
  • However, if Wrexham equal or better Hull’s result, they will finish above them, while they are one point clear of Derby ahead of the final day, so know that a win would keep them above the East Midlands club.
