First Prediction For Wrexham vs Wigan Athletic – Paul Mullin To Score – 47/25
The 30-year-old finally got back on the scoresheet in Wrexham’s win over Blackpool after a very tough period with fitness and being largely reduced to a bench option in the past month. With the uncertainty around Elliot Lee’s fitness still in question following his knock at Bristol Rovers, the former Cambridge United man may get the nod again and if so, will undoubtedly get some chances to score once more.
Second Prediction For Wrexham vs Wigan Athletic – Under 2.5 Goals Scored – 4/6
It is a battle of two of the league’s best defenders and within that could see the two best keepers in the division face off. Arthur Onkonwo has been out with a wrist injury but is rapidly closing in on a return whilst Sam Tickle is in the joint-lead for the golden glove this season. These two teams have done extremely well at the back and it should be a game of fine margins.
Third Prediction For Wrexham vs Wigan Athletic – Wrexham To Win – 3/4
But ultimately Wrexham will have all the cards in their hand on the occasion. They will be at home, where they have won 10 of 12 games this season and are still unbeaten in League One. They are also on an eight-game unbeaten run, six of which ended in victory for The Red Dragons. With the sheer number of players they have that can contribute to the goals, it feels like Phil Parkinson’s side will come out on top.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
Wrexham come into the game unbeaten in their last eight fixtures but largely on the back foot with their positioning in the table, having played more games than the rest of the top four. Nevertheless, The Red Dragons’ recent games have been close-cut affairs, with 1-0 wins against both Burton Albion and Barnsley. After two draws which saw them slip further from the top of the table, they refound their form with a 2-1 win against Blackpool on Boxing Day thanks to a Steven Fletcher penalty.
Wigan have got some positive results back on the board after a brief slips against Huddersfield Town, Leyton Orient in the league and to Chesterfield in the EFL Trophy. Their most recent match is the best indicator of that, shutting out Rotherham United in a 1-0 win. They will also look to their convincing 2-0 win over Lancashire rivals Bolton Wanderers for hope heading into this game.
Since Wrexham’s resurgence post their takeover, the two sides have played just once, with a 0-0 draw in last year’s EFL Cup. Wrexham won 4-2 on penalties to advance to the second round. The reverse fixture this year takes place in April.
