West Brom vs Wrexham Prediction: Red Dragons face a tough test

Caretaker boss James Morrison has led West Bromwich Albion to a four-game unbeaten streak in the Championship as they battle to avoid relegation. The Baggies are in action on Friday as they welcome promotion-chasing Wrexham to The Hawthorns (15:00 BST, Sky Sports+).

The Red Dragons were 2-1 winners at Sheffield United last time out but they are currently kept outside the play-off places on goal difference. My West Brom vs Wrexham predictions can be found below, as well as team news and the latest match odds from Betfred.

Team News

Tammer Bany is out for West Brom with a thigh issue, while Mikey Johnston's season is over due to a broken leg.

Following successive victories, Morrison may be tempted to stick with the same XI that defeated Bristol City.

Football Odds

Wrexham's Liberato Cacace, Matty James, Ben Sheaf and Kieffer Moore are still in the treatment room and will have no part to play in the West Midlands on Friday.

This should see Sam Smith and Josh Windass' partnership in the final third continue.

West Brom vs Wrexham Odds

West Brom are a 11/10 bet to make it three league wins on the spin for the first time this season.

Only Birmingham City (eight) have had more home draws in the Championship this term than Albion (seven), and the stalemate on Friday is marketed at 12/5.

Wrexham have five victories from their past seven outings in the second tier and they are a 12/5 shot to prevail at The Hawthorns.

Windass has bagged 10 league goals for the visitors so far in 2025/26, and he is 7/2 to score anytime.

Today's Football Fixtures

Draw No Bet - Wrexham @ 11/8

These two teams are in very different positions heading into this contest. West Brom are fighting for survival, while Wrexham are battling for a play-off place. The hosts currently have a four-point cushion on Leicester City, who sit 22nd.

The Red Dragons are outside the play-offs because of Southampton's superior goal difference at this moment in time. Phil Parkinson's side have impressed this season and they have had a drive to keep going, even when experiencing a blip.

With West Brom looking a better side than they did a mere few weeks ago, this looks to be a tricky test for Wrexham. That being said, they do come here with five wins from their past seven outings in the Championship.

I would give them the edge, but I think the safest way to cover them is in the draw no bet market.

Both Teams To Score - Yes @ 5/6

When it comes to BTTS this season, Wrexham have been one of the teams to experience this statistic the most. The Red Dragons have seen 67% (26/39) of their matches this term feature both sides on the scoresheet. This includes their two-most recent games against Watford and Sheffield United.

So this bodes well for Friday, right? Especially when you remember that West Brom are on a two-game winning streak, as well as their longest unbeaten run of the campaign.

The Baggies have seen this bet land in four of their previous six fixtures in the second tier, while they were 3-2 winners in August's reverse fixture at the Racecourse Ground.
