Run over for Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney! Tough season for Wrexham predicted as Supercomputer drops Red Dragons & Birmingham a long way short of promotion

The Red Dragons have enjoyed a meteoric rise under their Hollywood co-owners, with a record-breaking sequence of three successive steps up the EFL ladder lifting them out of the National League and into the Championship.

They are now just one step away from reaching the Premier League, but that will be the trickiest to take. Reynolds and McElhenney accept as much, with it difficult to know what to expect from Wrexham in their first second tier campaign since 1981-82.

More big money has been invested in the transfer market, smashing records along the way, and many have suggested that the Welsh outfit are capable of competing for a top-six finish alongside the likes of Tom Brady’s Birmingham and other former top-flight outfits.

VBET have, however, run “teams, odds and data through their Supercomputer and simulated how this Championship season may unfold”. That process involves predicting “the outcome of each individual fixture based on the strength of the teams playing and their overall chances of winning fixtures based on betting market odds”.

Said model has Wrexham finishing in an underwhelming 14th place on 58 points, with 15 wins being picked up from 46 fixtures. That outcome would leave them one spot behind Birmingham and 25 points adrift of the play-off places.

The VBET Supercomputer has Bristol City emerging as shock title winners, with Leicester finishing as runners-up. Sheffield United, Millwall, Coventry and Southampton fill the play-off spots, while Portsmouth, Charlton and Preston are predicted to take a tumble into League One.
