Oxford United vs. Wrexham: Preview, Predictions and Lineups Wrexham will hope to build upon their positive momentum when they travel to face relegation-threatened Oxford United on Tuesday. The Red Dragons head into the match seventh in the EFL Championship table, just two points behind Hull City in the final playoff position. The teams that finish in the top two of the division receive automatic promotion to the Premier League, while the sides that finish between third and sixth compete in the end-of-season playoffs to decide the final promotion place. With only three matches left of the regular season, Wrexham must overcome the two-point deficit between themselves and Hull City, plus hold off the challenge from Derby County, who sit a point behind them. Oxford are 22nd in the EFL Championship table and know they realistically must win if they are to remain in the division next season. Wrexham will head into the match full of confidence after they recorded their most comfortable home victory of the season when they defeated Stoke City 2–0 last weekend. Phil Parkinson’s side know they must take care of their own business before they can dream of sneaking into the EFL Championship playoff positions. However, they have won just one of their last four away matches and know it will be tough to beat a team that is fighting for survival. The team’s tactical decisions in the upcoming match will be critical, particularly in goal and defense. Danny Ward, the goalkeeper, made just his fifth start of the season in the weekend win over Stoke City and appears to have earned the trust of Parkinson for the run-in. Ward’s inclusion in the starting lineup was a surprise, as he replaced the rotated Arthur Okonkwo, and he kept a clean sheet in the process.#wrexham #phil_parkinson #oxford_united #danny_ward #kassam_stadium
