The Red Dragons recorded a convincing victory over Gateshead on Tuesday night which took them top of the National League table. As a result, they can fully concentrate on this weekend’s fixture and they will be expected a full house at the famous old Racecourse Ground.
Across all competitions, they’ve won eight of their last nine games with their only blip coming in a FA Trophy fixture against Altrincham.
With their famous owners having helped take the club to the next level, Wrexham will be expected to take the game to the second tier side. Although promotion will be the priority this season, a passage to the fifth round of this competition would be a welcome bonus for the Welsh outfit. They have scored 3+ goals in each of their last three FA Cup ties.
Sheffield United
Sheffield United are also aiming for promotion this season and they sit second in the Championship coming into this fixture. Paul Heckingbottom’s side have lost just one of their last 13 games and with their injury list starting to ease, they look set to return to the top flight.
Their defence has been superb and they have conceded 2+ goals on just four occasions this season, and just once in their last 13 matches.
Although they are currently under a transfer embargo, the Blades’ squad is hugely talented and Oli McBurnie is likely to return for this fixture.
They beat Millwall in the previous round of the competition and will fancy their chances of progressing to the fifth round of the competition. The last time they crashed out at this stage of the tournament was back in 2018 when they were defeated 1-0 by Leicester.
Head to Head
With these two sides being several divisions apart, they rarely tend to meet. However, they did face one another in the League Cup back in 2004. Sheffield United squeezed through to the next round courtesy of an entertaining 3-2 victory at the Racecourse Ground.
Key Betting Stats
- Across all competitions, Sheffield United have won six of their last seven away games.
- The Blades have won five of their last away FA Cup ties. However, they’ve lost two of their last three (both against Premier League sides)
- Illiman N’Diaye is the Blades’ top goal-scorer, netting ten times. However, only 33% of those strikes have come on the road.
- Daniel Jebbison, who has recently broken into the starting XI has scored in two of his last three appearances.
- Wrexham have scored 11 times across their last three FA Cup ties
- The visitors have netted 70 times in their opening 27 National League fixtures.
- Paul Mullin has netted 15 of his 20 goals at the Racecourse Ground.
Match Prediction
This is a fascinating fixture and one of the highlights of fourth round draw. Sheffield United have been superb so far this season and they are particularly good on the road. Nevertheless, Wrexham have had a brilliant campaign and found a way to upset Coventry in the previous round. The Blades are better organised than the Sky Blues, however, their defence could still be troubled by the National League outfit.
