Game Analysis

  • Bookmakers have this as close to a coin toss as the 1X2 market gets. Wrexham is the shortest price on a book of 2.65 / 3.25 / 2.55 (1 / X / 2), an implied 36.4%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 35.0% / 28.6% / 36.4% on an overround of 7.7%.

  • The draw is unusually well backed at 3.25 (28.6%), which normally points to a cagey, low-scoring game rather than an open one.

  • In the league table Blackburn sit 10th on 15 points (4W 3D 4L) with Wrexham 14th on 14 points (3W 5D 3L).

  • Blackburn read L-W-W-D-W-L across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (3W 1D 2L) — patchy.
