Wrexham will be facing off against Huddersfield Town in a League One match on Tuesday evening with the goal of matching a historic record. Huddersfield Town, who were relegated from the Championship in the 2023/24 season, are determined to make a quick return to the second tier, potentially at Wrexham’s expense. Despite a mixed start to the season, Huddersfield Town is currently in sixth place in the league with 18 points after 11 games, having won six and lost five matches.
On the other hand, Wrexham has been performing well this season, winning seven, drawing two, and losing two games, putting them in second place in the league standings. A key factor in their success has been their ability to secure points at their home ground, the Racecourse Ground. Wrexham boasts one of the best home records in the EFL this season, along with Blackburn Rovers and AFC Wimbledon, with a 100 percent home record.
If Wrexham secures a victory against Huddersfield, they will equal a 91-year-old record by winning their tenth consecutive home league game. The last time Wrexham achieved a run of 10+ successive home wins in the Football League was in April 1933. Despite their impressive home form, Wrexham needs to improve their performances away from home. While they managed to secure a 1-0 win at the New York Stadium in their last away match, they have dropped points on the road this season, with two draws and two defeats away from the Racecourse Ground.
Although Wrexham’s away form is a concern, it is still early in the season, and there is room for improvement. Manager Phil Parkinson will be looking to ensure that his team becomes more consistent away from home as the season progresses. As they aim to match a long-standing record and continue their push for promotion, Wrexham will need to maintain their strong performances at home while also addressing their away form to achieve success in League One.
