Wrexham vs Stevenage: TV channel, team news and predicted line ups
Wrexham host Stevenage in League One on Tuesday night.
Wrexham will hope to build upon their impressive home draw with Birmingham when they host Stevenage at the Racecourse Ground on Tuesday night.
Phil Parkinson's side head into the match third in the League One table with Stevenage 15th following their 1-0 away win at Barnsley last time out.
Defensive masterclass
Wrexham and Stevenage both boast impressive defensive records heading into their midweek match.
The Red Dragons have the second-best record in the division with just 21 goals conceded this campaign, while Boro have conceded just one more.
In nearly half of their League One matches, Wrexham have collected a clean sheet (13-28), with eight of those coming at the Racecourse. Stevenage have recorded six shutouts away from Broadhall Way and haven’t conceded in their last six away matches.
Home comforts
Wrexham have consistently found ways to avoid defeat at home this season. They are now unbeaten in their last 15 home fixtures, the longest unbeaten start at home for a newly promoted League One side since Luton Town went the entire 2018-19
campaign without losing a domestic game at Kenilworth Road. The Hatters went on to earn a second consecutive promotion up the EFL pyramid that season.
Midweek mistakes
For as strong as Stevenage have been defensively away from home, they’ve struggled to win matches, particularly during the week. They are winless in five away games played on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday since defeating Cambridge United 2-1 in August 2023. Wrexham have won two of their previous three home games played on those days of the week at home.
TV Channel
Wrexham vs Stevenage will be shown live in the UK on Sky Sports+. US viewers can watch full coverage of the match on Paramount+, with kick-off at 7:45pm BST from the Racecourse Ground on Tuesday 28 January 2025.
Team news
Wrexham defender Lewis Brunt is a doubt after a calf strain, while Callum Burton is out with a torn thigh muscle, Ryan Longman hopes to make his first appearance after he signed from Hull, while James McClean played the full 90 on Thursday despite his earlier car crash.
