What is Birmingham City's historical record against Wrexham?
The overall historical picture strongly favors Birmingham City. They are unbeaten in their last seven league matches against Wrexham, securing four wins and three draws in that run. This streak stretches back many years. Wrexham's last league victory over Birmingham came 47 years ago. Since their recent promotion to the Football League, Wrexham have failed to win in four attempts against City, drawing two and losing two.
Interestingly, Wrexham have held a 1-0 lead in three of those four most recent games but were unable to see out the result. Birmingham's first ever Football League match against Wrexham was a 1-0 away defeat in October 1979, but they have firmly controlled the rivalry since.
What are the current form guides for both teams?
Both sides have found wins hard to come by in the early part of this season. Birmingham City and Wrexham each began the Championship campaign with a draw, and both have drawn two of their opening games. Birmingham's form, however, shows a broader resilience. They are now unbeaten in their last seven Championship matches, a run comprising three wins and four draws.
A quirk of that run is three consecutive draws. The last time Birmingham City drew four league games in a row was back in February 2020. Wrexham, meanwhile, boast a strong recent record in Friday night home games since returning to the Football League, going unbeaten in six with four wins and two draws. That run includes a 1-1 draw with Birmingham City in October of last year.
