The Championship takes centre stage on Friday evening as Wrexham welcome Birmingham City to the Racecourse Ground. With Hollywood ownership on one side and NFL influence on the other, this match has drawn plenty of attention both on and off the pitch. Both clubs have spent heavily in pursuit of promotion, yet both are still seeking consistency at this stage of the season.
This Bet Builder has been constructed around five selections that reflect current form, tactical patterns, and statistical trends. Each leg is chosen carefully to give a realistic and data-driven betting opportunity.
Here’s our Bet Builder pick for Wrexham vs Birmingham City, which has been placed with Bet365:
Why this pick
Phil Parkinson’s side work the ball wide and attack the byline, a pattern that consistently generates corners at the Racecourse. With Ryan Longman and Issa Kaboré driving down the flanks and Birmingham likely to sit deeper away from home, deflections and blocks should push Wrexham past three corners.
Why this pick
Despite patchy away results, Birmingham still earn set pieces through width and overlaps. Demarai Gray and Lyndon Dykes force hurried clearances, and Wrexham’s home defence has been under strain, conceding frequently. That pressure typically translates into corners for visitors, making four or more achievable for the Blues.
Why this pick
Wrexham regularly create shooting lanes under Parkinson, mixing central combinations with long-range efforts. They kept Leicester’s defence busy in a recent draw, and increased directness with key attackers back boosts on-target volume. Birmingham’s away rearguard has wobbled, inviting repeated attempts that should see Wrexham reach four shots on target.
Why this pick
The visitors carry threat through Gray, Kyogo Furuhashi and the lively Stansfield, who all test keepers when they cut inside. Wrexham have conceded in most recent home games at this level, leaving openings for Birmingham to work the target repeatedly. Four on-target efforts aligns with form and match-up dynamics.
Wide-first approaches from both sides drive corners, while Wrexham’s front-foot style and Birmingham’s individual attackers support healthy shots-on-target counts. With Wrexham pressing at home and the Blues dangerous in transitions, these four legs align with each team’s tendencies and the defensive patterns we’ve seen recently.
Wrexham vs Birmingham City Bet Builder Tip
Over 3 Goals
Backing over three goals in this clash is a calculated choice when you consider how both teams have defended in recent weeks. Wrexham have conceded nine times across their four home league fixtures, showing a tendency to allow space in dangerous areas. Birmingham, meanwhile, have been beaten in three consecutive away games, shipping goals in all of them.
Recent performances point towards open contests rather than tight, low-scoring affairs. For instance, Birmingham’s 3-0 defeat at Coventry highlighted how vulnerable they can be when facing fast transitions, while Wrexham’s 1-1 draw at Leicester showed their ability to create chances despite not always keeping clean sheets. With attacking talent such as Nathan Broadhead and Demarai Gray on show, the chances of a high-scoring match are significant.

Over 3 Corners for Wrexham
Wrexham’s style of play under Phil Parkinson often involves working the ball into wide areas and delivering crosses. This naturally generates corner opportunities, particularly at home where the team push forward with greater intensity. Even in matches where they have struggled to score, Wrexham have still produced corners by stretching opposition defences.
Against Birmingham, who tend to sit deeper when away from home, Wrexham are likely to sustain pressure in wide zones. Players such as Ryan Longman and Issa Kabore frequently drive to the byline, increasing the probability of deflections and blocked crosses. A line of over three corners looks a very achievable outcome given the patterns of play both sides have shown so far this season.
Over 3 Corners for Birmingham
Although Birmingham’s away form has been poor, their matches on the road still produce set-piece opportunities. Even in games where they fail to score, they create chances through wide players like Demarai Gray and Lyndon Dykes, who often force opposition defenders into last-ditch clearances.
Wrexham’s defensive record at home has been shaky, conceding nine times in just four matches, which highlights how often they are forced to defend deep inside their box. That pressure frequently results in corners for their opponents. Birmingham’s ability to win over three corners, even if they struggle in the final third, is supported by their approach of feeding quick wingers and overlapping full-backs.
Over 3.5 Shots on Target for Wrexham
The hosts may not be prolific at home in terms of wins, but they are consistently creating shooting opportunities. Their recent 1-1 draw with Leicester saw them manage to keep the Foxes’ defence busy, and Nathan Broadhead’s return to the side gives them more direct threat on goal.
Phil Parkinson encourages a front-footed style, which often results in shots from both central areas and long range. Birmingham’s shaky defensive form away from St Andrew’s makes them particularly vulnerable to repeated efforts on target. Even if Wrexham struggle to dominate possession, they tend to be efficient with the chances they create. Reaching at least four shots on target feels well within their capability in front of a passionate home crowd.
Over 3.5 Shots on Target for Birmingham
Despite their inconsistent form, Birmingham still boast plenty of attacking firepower. The presence of Demarai Gray, Kyogo Furuhashi, and young forward Stansfield means they are capable of generating opportunities whenever they go forward. The problem has been converting those chances, not creating them.
Wrexham’s defence has already shown cracks at Championship level, conceding in three of their last four home league matches. Birmingham will almost certainly look to exploit this, especially with their wide players cutting inside to test the goalkeeper. Over 3.5 shots on target reflects the visitors’ attacking talent and Wrexham’s defensive fragility, making this a logical selection within the Bet Builder.
