Odds Now's Wrexham vs Birmingham bet-builder selections

Selection #1 - Both teams to score

The reverse fixture between these sides in September finished 3-1 and a repeat would do us nicely here.

Wrexham have scored in 16 of their 17 home matches this season, including a goal in each of their last nine at the Racecourse Ground.

Phil Parkinson's side have scored and conceded in six of their last seven games overall, a record that should extend when Birmingham come to town.

The visitors have seen BTTS land in eight of their last 12 road trips, failing to score in just two of their 24 league games overall this term.

Selection #2 - James McClean to be carded

McClean's disciplinary record speaks for itself.

No player has picked up more bookings than Wrexham's left-sided player, with a total of nine from his 25 league appearances this season.

He has ramped things up even further since the start of December, being booked five times in eight games.

Selection #3 - Ethan Laird to be carded

Laird commits more fouls per game than any Birmingham player, so seems a natural selection to be carded.

The former Manchester United right-back has received five yellows in all competitions this season, including one in both of his last two away games.

He could be set for a fiery encounter with McClean down that side of the pitch.

Selection #4 - Jay Stansfield to have a shot on target

Stansfield is the third-top goalscorer in the division – second if you discount Louie Barry, who no longer plays for Stockport – and backing him to hit the target with any effort boosts the odds nicely.

Birmingham's statement summer signing also sits third for shots and shots on target per game in the division.

He hit the target twice in the reverse fixture, scoring twice.
