Wrexham v Birmingham: Friday Fixture, Celebrity Owners

Wrexham host Birmingham at the Racecourse Ground (Stadiwm Cae Ras) on Friday with kick-off at 20:00 BST in a globally hyped Championship fixture that has drawn attention because Wrexham are backed by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney while Birmingham is part‑owned by Tom Brady, who is unlikely to attend due to NFL commitments. The sides were promoted from League One together last season and previous meetings have attracted high‑profile guests. Wrexham are midtable and still seeking a league win at home this season despite recent improvement, including a late draw at Leicester. Birmingham have one of the best home records in the top four tiers but have poor recent away form, losing three straight on the road without scoring. Bookmakers view Birmingham as narrow favourites and pundits predict a tight, cagey game with many tipping a 1-1 draw; the match will be shown live on Sky Sports.
