Wrexham come into this match with an impeccable home record, remaining unbeaten in the league this season with 9 wins from 10 games, conceding just 4 goals in the process. They’ve been in superb form recently, winning 5 of their last 6 matches and keeping clean sheets in all of those victories. Their defensive solidity at home is particularly notable, having gone over 513 minutes of league football without conceding a goal at the Racecourse Ground.

Cambridge, on the other hand, have struggled against stronger opposition, taking just 2 points from 8 matches against top-half sides this season and scoring only 4 goals across those games. Their away form is the worst in the league, with just 1 win, 1 draw, and 7 losses. Offensively, they’ve been poor on the road, managing just 5 goals all season and failing to score in 3 of their last 5 away league games. This lack of attacking output does not bode well against a Wrexham side with such a strong defensive record at home.

Wrexham also hold a slight rest advantage going into this game. Both teams were involved in FA Trophy matches midweek, but Wrexham played at home with a completely rotated side, while Cambridge travelled to Cheltenham, fielding 6-7 regular starters in a losing effort. This extra workload for Cambridge could play a role in their performance here.

The return of key midfielders George Dobson and James McClean from suspension is another boost for Wrexham, providing added quality and depth in the centre of the pitch. The only injury concern is in goal, with Mark Howard set to continue after stepping in for injured keepers Okonkwo and Burton. However, Howard’s experience and two clean sheets in his recent starts minimize any concerns.
