In a historic encounter, West Bromwich Albion will face Wrexham at The Hawthorns on April 3, 2026, marking their first league meeting at this iconic venue. With West Brom currently four points clear of the Championship’s relegation zone and Wrexham aiming to break into the play-off places, the stakes are high for both teams.
West Brom has recently climbed to 20th in the table after securing two consecutive league victories, including a narrow 1-0 win against Bristol City. In contrast, Wrexham, who sit just outside the playoff positions, are looking to capitalize on their recent form, having won five of their last seven league matches on the road.
The previous encounter between these two sides ended in a thrilling 3-2 victory for West Brom on August 16, 2025. However, this time, the dynamics may shift as Wrexham will be without their top scorer, Kieffer Moore, sidelined with a hamstring injury. Moore has netted 11 goals this season, making his absence a significant blow for the visitors.
West Brom, on the other hand, will also miss Mikey Johnston due to a season-ending leg injury, which has hampered their attacking options. Despite these setbacks, West Brom is eager to achieve their first three consecutive wins of the season, a feat they have yet to accomplish.
Historically, Wrexham has not defeated West Brom in 96 years, a statistic that adds pressure on the visitors as they seek to change their fortunes. The match is set to kick off at 15:00, and both teams are expected to bring their best to the pitch.
As the match approaches, observers are keen to see if Wrexham can overcome their injury woes and secure a vital point or more to push them back into the playoff contention. Meanwhile, West Brom will aim to solidify their position away from the relegation zone and continue their upward trajectory in the league.
Details remain unconfirmed as both teams finalize their lineups and strategies ahead of this crucial fixture.
