Wrexham welcome Swansea in a crucial battle for the top six, as the visitors are only five points behind the hosts and in better form at the moment.
Wrexham suffered back-to-back losses, although both were entirely logical and possible. There is no need to stress about the loss to Chelsea, as they scored two goals and pushed the game into extra time. This was more than anyone could have hoped for at this stage.
The loss to Hull is probably much more painful because winning that game could have pushed Wrexham to a much safer fifth place in the promotion race.
The arriving Swansea are only five points behind them and are coming into the game on the back of two consecutive wins.
However, there is no reason for the hosts to be overly concerned, as the Swans remain one of the three weakest away teams in the league.
With only five wins in 18 away games, Swansea will have a mountain to climb when they arrive at the Racecourse Ground.
How the bookies view it: The Red Dragons have the upper hand
As always, the matches in the Championship are competitive enough to make bookmakers think twice, so the odds are not too far apart.
Wrexham are still the expected favourites at 5/4, but Swansea are not to be underestimated at 11/5. Interestingly, a draw is also priced at 11/5.
Recent head-to-head: Swansea won the first H2H in 20 years
Wrexham and Swansea have a rich history, but most of it is ancient, and this season's reverse fixture has revived their rivalry after almost 20 years.
We found data on 13 clashes since 1993, and, interestingly, only two have ended in a draw. Wrexham have a significant advantage in wins, with seven to Swansea's four, but the Swans won the first match of the season 2-1.
Players to watch: Vipotnik can hurt Wrexham’s ambitions again
Zan Vipotnik was subbed off in the 59th minute against Portsmouth in an obvious managerial decision to keep him rested for the Wrexham game. Swansea’s 23-year-old star is the Championship’s top scorer with 17 goals in 35 appearances, and he already punished Wrexham once in the reverse fixture.
Probable line-ups
Wrexham: Okonkwo, Doyle, Hyam, Cleworth, Thomason, O’Brien, Rathbone, Kabore, Windass, Broadhead, Smith
Swansea: Vigouroux, Tymon, Burgess, Cabango, Key, Franco, Galbraith, Stamenic, Ronald, Vipotnik, Eom
Anything else catch the eye?
Wrexham's home form is nowhere near as convincing as it was earlier in the season, with the Red Dragons losing three of their last six games at Racecourse Ground.
However, we must take into account how poor Swansea have been away from home all season, despite winning their last game against Portsmouth three days ago.
The Swans have lost seven of their last 10 away games, conceding 2+ goals in six of them. Wrexham have conceded a total of 30 goals at home in 19 games, which pushes us towards the goals markets.
We expect a home win, but it will be an extremely close game, something like 2-1 with a late goal.
