Welcome to our Wrexham vs Leicester prediction, where the story writes itself: a resurgent Wrexham, buoyed by recent successes and a passionate home crowd, welcomes Leicester City—a club with Premier League pedigree and promotion ambitions—on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, at the iconic Racecourse Ground. With both teams hungry for points and the Championship season heating up, this Matchday 28 fixture promises drama, goals, and plenty of talking points for football fans and punters alike.
Wrexham, currently sitting 9th in the Championship with 40 points from 26 matches, are enjoying a purple patch. Five straight wins across all competitions (including a dramatic penalty shootout triumph over Nottingham Forest) have made the Red Dragons one of the league’s form teams. Their home record is solid: six wins, five draws, and just two defeats at the Racecourse Ground. In their last six games, they’ve chalked up four wins, one draw, and a single loss—numbers that would make any manager smile.
Leicester City, meanwhile, find themselves 12th with 37 points from the same number of fixtures. The Foxes’ form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with three wins and two defeats in their last five outings. Their away record isn’t quite as fearsome as their squad value might suggest: four wins, three draws, and six losses on the road. Still, with a squad valued at €162.40m (compared to Wrexham’s €55.78m), Leicester have the resources and experience to turn things around at any moment.
Historically, Wrexham and Leicester haven’t crossed paths often, but their most recent meeting—a 1-1 draw back in September 2.25—showed how evenly matched these sides can be. Both teams have shown a knack for defying expectations: Wrexham held Ipswich to a surprise 0-0 draw away from home, while Leicester snatched a 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest despite long odds.
Predicted starting elevens suggest Wrexham will stick with their pragmatic yet ambitious approach under Phil Parkinson, while Leicester—now managed by Martí Cifuentes—will look to blend defensive solidity with quick counter-attacks.
Let’s talk numbers, because that’s what we do best at NerdyTips. The betting odds for this Wrexham vs Leicester prediction are intriguing: 2.25 for a home win, 3.5 for a draw, and 3.3 for an away win. The market sees Wrexham as slight favorites, but not by much—a nod to their recent form and home advantage.
With both teams missing key players, expect tactical tweaks and perhaps a few surprises in the starting lineups. Wrexham’s home crowd could be the twelfth man, while Leicester’s experience at this level means they’re never out of the contest.
This Wrexham vs Leicester prediction points to a high-energy, goal-filled encounter—perfect for neutrals and punters alike. The over 1.5 total goals market looks like a banker, and backing Wrexham for the win offers decent value given their form and the betting odds. But as always in the Championship, expect the unexpected. After all, this is a league where fairy tales and upsets are part of the weekly script.
So, whether you’re tuning in for the football, the betting action, or just to see if Wrexham’s Hollywood story gets another chapter, this is one match you won’t want to miss. Good luck, and may your bets be as accurate as our predictions!
