Recent Form and Key Storylines

  • The Windass Factor: Josh Windass was the hero in the FA Cup meeting on 13 February, scoring the lone goal that sent Wrexham into the last 16 for the first time in 29 years. Ipswich defenders will be under pressure to contain him today.
  • Promotion Stakes: Ipswich Town remains one of the strongest squads in the division, but their recent 1-0 loss to Wrexham has raised questions about their ability to break down disciplined, lower-block defences.
  • Wrexham’s Giant-Killing Streak: Beyond the league, Wrexham has been drawn against Chelsea in the FA Cup fifth round, a distraction the coaching staff is desperate to manage as they focus on Championship points.
