Wrexham vs Sheffield Wednesday Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 23rd August 2025

As the early season favourites, Wrexham will look to justify their title credentials on Saturday when they take on Sheffield Wednesday for a round 3 match in the Championship.

Wrexham are on zero points after the two opening rounds of the Championship and will be hopeful of round three bringing some much-needed joy.

Wrexham are still without a single point on the board following the first couple of matches in the Championship. They will be very eager to get off the mark in this round three.

Nobody likes to be on the losing side, especially so early into a new season. Wrexham and Sheffield Wednesday are no exception in this respect. Both teams are eager to improve from last term, leading us to expect an exciting affair at SToK Cae Ras.

Wrexham are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They scored a steady three goals in their previous two matches, for an average of 1.5 per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents five goals, or an average of 2.5 a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to zero clean sheets in this run.

Sheffield Wednesday scored eight goals, conceded 15 and kept their opponents from scoring zero times in two matches.

This is the first time Wrexham squares up against Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship in the 21st century, thus both face a whole new experience of coming up against an unknown opponent.
