Wrexham Eyes Championship Shake-Up at Blackburn
24 Oct
Summary
- Wrexham aims to climb the table with a win against Blackburn Rovers.
- Ben Sheaf's potential return boosts Wrexham's midfield options.
- Both teams are one win away from playoff contention, or near relegation.
Wrexham travels to face Blackburn Rovers this Saturday, aiming to build on recent success. The Red Dragons secured a convincing 4-1 win over Preston North End in their last outing, but a tougher challenge awaits against Blackburn, who are positioned one point above them in the league. The potential return of defensive midfielder Ben Sheaf could strengthen Wrexham's squad, which has been hampered by injuries.
The upcoming fixture at Ewood Park sees two evenly matched sides competing. Only one point separates Wrexham and Blackburn, underscoring the congested nature of the Championship table early in the season. A victory for either team could propel them into playoff contention, while a loss might see them hovering close to the relegation zone.
Blackburn's predicted lineup features a potential switch to a back three, with Andri Guðjohnsen expected to lead the attack. Wrexham might revert to a more conservative formation, with Joe Worrall anchoring the defense and Issa Kaboré potentially featuring at right wingback. The match is scheduled for Saturday, October 24, with a kickoff time of 3 p.m. BST.
