Bradford will host Wrexham under the new management of Kevin Mcdonald after Mark Hughes was sacked after a shambolic start to their League Two campaign. The hosts have just five wins from their opening 13 games with four draws and four losses this season. Although two straight victories and two clean sheets could give them massive confidence before they face Wrexham.
Newly-promoted Wrexham are looking like a tough opposition as they are touted to receive promotion once again after a staggering start to life in League Two. Just three points behind league leaders Stockport, a win could see Wrexham climb to the pinnacle of the table depending on other results. Wrexham have won three games and drawn two in their previous five games in all competitions and could present a serious challenge to a struggling Bradford side.
