Game Preview
Wrexham’s Hollywood story under their famous owners has attracted the attention of North America, but a few new chapters could yet be written in 2025-26.
The Welsh club have their sights set on promotion from the Championship and currently sit in the top-six after winning three straight games. However, this weekend, Wrexham will be huge outsiders to cause a shock against Premier League heavyweights Chelsea.
But, the home team should certainly be respected, having won eight of their 18 matches at the Racecourse Ground in 2025-26, scoring an average of 1.83 goals per game. The Welsh club also knocked out Premier League opposition in the third round, beating Nottingham Forest.
Chelsea will be targeting major honors this season, and the FA Cup could be the most realistic aim for Liam Rosenior. The Blues have endured a difficult period under their new head coach, having failed to win in their last three.
But, playing on the road has typically suited their style better this term. That is evident based on the fact that Chelsea have lost just four of their 14 away from home, conceding just 1.21 goals per game and scoring 1.86 per 90.
Wrexham vs. Chelsea Picks
A massive night at the Racecourse Ground is set for Saturday, and Chelsea’s weak mentality could ensure that they are a dangerous proposition at odds-on. Therefore, a home win could be a viable outcome.
