Wrexham vs Sheffield United Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | EFL Championship 2025-26

The Blades are on a two-match winning streak against the Red Dragons.

Wrexham are all set to lock horns with Sheffield United for their matchweek 23 contest of the 2025-26 EFL Championship. This is going to be an interesting outing between these clubs, which is going to take place at the STōK Cae Ras.

The Red Dragons are in 15th place on the league table and are coming in after facing a defeat at the hands of Swansea City in their previous fixture. They were unable to perform well both in the attacking front and the defence. Wrexham will be looking to return to winning ways, where the upcoming EFL Championship game will be at home for them.

Sheffield United secured a dominating 3-0 win against Birmingham City in their last outing. It was a top performance by them. They will be looking to extend their winning run.

They have been very inconsistent with their performances in their last three games. The Blades are placed 18th on the EFL Championship points table at the moment.

Players to Watch

Kieffer Moore (Wrexham)

Kieffer Moore will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side in the attacking front. In 21 league matches this season, he has scored eight goals and also had an assist to his name. The 33-year-old must come up with a top performance if he wants to get his side back to winning ways.

Callum O’Hare (Sheffield United)

Callum O’Hare has been one of the most consistent players for the Blades this season. In 22 EFL Championship appearances of the ongoing campaign, he has 10 goal involvements. The 27-year-old can regulate the ball well in the midfield and is also very beneficial in the attacking front.
