Wrexham Predicted Lineup vs Hull

This is a Wrexham predicted lineup and the latest team news for their return to EFL Championship action against the team just above them in the table. Hull City sit three points ahead of the Red Dragons, with automatic promotion likely out of the picture for both sides, they will be eager to get wins to remain in the play-off picture as the mid-table is quite crowded with roughly 12 matches still to play for everyone involved. Let’s focus on how Phil Parkinson can line up and get back to business after a brutal 120 fight with Chelsea at the weekend.

How Wrexham Have Lined Up Recently

Arthur Okonkwo has proven unshakeable in goal, after starting the season as a backup, the injury to Danny Ward has opened the door for the youngster to become the number one. Dominic Hyam, Max Cleworth, and Callum Doyle have been the three in the centre of the back line with no variation over the past few fixtures.

The wing-back situation has been difficult to manage as Issa Kabore had a small issue and Liberato Cacace has been on-and-off with injuries all season long. George Thomason and Ryan Longman have filled in at the position, including at the weekend in the FA Cup.

In midfield, injuries to some starters like Ben Sheaf has led to Zak Vyner filling in with George Dobson, and Lewis O’Brien as other options. Ollie Rathbone plays as one of the tens where O’Brien featured at the weekend, Nathan Broadhead, Sam Smith, Josh Windass, and Kieffer Moore fill out the attacking positions.

Wrexham Recent Form & Tactics

Parkinson sets his team up in a 3-4-2-1 setup that can use long balls to the striker or the physical inside forwards to move forward, used to perfection against the Blues for their first goal when Smith split the two defenders and slotted home after just one long ball. They are happy to play with less of the ball like they did in the 1-0 win against Charlton, showing a solid ability out of possession to shut down teams.

The defeat to Chelsea marked one of the first in some time for the Red Dragons. They have been on a tear in the Championship with three wins on the bounce and an unbeaten run of four on the trot. They can score goals from very few chances which keeps them in games. Their big issue comes at the back where even their disciplined pressing can leave them prone, having let in four at the weekend and three to Ipswich pretty recently.

Wrexham Team News

Few updates have been given since the cup match so it is expected that the same faces will be injured as Kabore, Cacace, Sheaf, Matty James, Aaron James. The red card to Dobson will also see him miss the next three fixtures as the midfield gets more and more stretched trying to cover for the wing-back absentees.
