Championship action returns to the Stok Racecourse on Saturday, as Wrexham host Queens Park Rangers, with each team eager to ignite their respective campaigns after a frustratingly mixed start to the 2025-26 season.
Both the Red Dragons and the Rs have four points on the board after four matches in the division, but the hosts are marginally ahead of their visitors thanks to a slightly superior goal difference.
Wrexham will undoubtedly be full of confidence in front of the home support, but QPR are under pressure to attain some consistency, for, despite winning their last game 3-1 against Charlton, they suffered a 7-1 hammering at the hands of Coventry in the game before that.
Wrexham team news
- Wrexham are unbeaten in their last three matches and went into the international break with a hard-earned 2-0 victory away to Millwall.
- Kieffer Moore scored in the win over Millwall, and he is in sensational form, having also shone for Wales during the international break with a decisive goal in their World Cup qualification victory over Kazakhstan. The towering striker will be keen to add to the three goals he has already scored in the league this season. Lewis O'Brien has also chipped in with two goals, while Max Cleworth has been a key figure at the back.
- Phil Parkinson has revealed an injury boost ahead of the game, with Ollie Rathbone making further progress on the ankle problem he sustained in pre-season. Josh Windass, Nathan Broadhead and George Thomason also joined training, with the trio close to making a case for selection.
- Probable line-up: Ward; Doyle, Coady, Cleworth; Longman, James, Dobson, O'Brien, Cacace; Moore, Hardie.
QPR team news
- QPR's form has been peculiarly unpredictable this season thus far. Julien Stephan's side are capable of suffering a humiliating 7-1 defeat against Coventry City one week, then defeating rivals Charlton Athletic 3-1 the next.
- Richard Kone has been the key attacker for QPR this season, with the Ivorian striker scoring two goals in three appearances. Club captain Jimmy Dunne will be a driving force from the back, and the Ireland international should be fresh having not been used during the international break.
- Stephan has no fresh injury concerns ahead of the game, with long-term absentee Jake Clarke-Salter being the only first-team player sidelined at the moment.
- Probable line-up: Walsh; Norrington-Davies, Mbengue, Morrison, Dunne; Varane, Madsen, Vale; Smyth, Dembele, Kone.
