This is the first ever league meeting between Middlesbrough and Wrexham – it’s the first time Middlesbrough are facing a side for the first time since January 2021, winning 3-1 vs Wycombe.
Wrexham and Middlesbrough last faced in December 1999 in the FA Cup, with the Welsh side winning 2-1 thanks to goals from Robin Gibson and Darren Ferguson.
Middlesbrough have won eight of their last 11 home league matches (D2 L1), with their only defeat in this run coming against last season’s champions Leeds in April.
After losing their last away league game 1-0 to Stoke, Wrexham will be looking to avoid recording consecutive defeats on the road for just the third time since returning to the EFL in 2023 (January 2025 and a run of three in February 2024).
Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson has lost all four of his previous league meetings with Middlesbrough, losing both games in 2017-18 and 2018-19 with Bolton, failing to score in any match.
