Birmingham City will host Wrexham on April 12, 2026, in a match that raises the question: Can Wrexham get their Championship play-off push back on track against a struggling Birmingham City? The answer is crucial for both teams as they navigate their respective challenges in the league.
The match is set to kick off at 12pm at St Andrew’s, where Wrexham will be looking to recover from a disappointing 5-1 defeat to Southampton that saw them drop out of the top six. Manager Phil Parkinson has urged his players to respond positively, stating, “We need to ensure that the defeat does not define our season.” Meanwhile, Birmingham City has not won in their last four games, which has left their own play-off hopes dwindling.
Historically, the last head-to-head match between these two teams ended in a 1-1 draw, but Birmingham holds an unbeaten record in their past three encounters with Wrexham. In their last ten league games, Birmingham has managed only two wins, alongside six losses and two draws, while Wrexham has fared better with five victories, three defeats, and two draws.
Both teams are backed by American owners who delivered promotion from League One last season, adding an extra layer of interest to this matchup. Birmingham’s confirmed lineup includes goalkeeper James Beadle and Bright Osayi-Samuel, while Wrexham will feature Arthur Okonkwo in goal and Max Cleworth.
