Wrexham AFC is gearing up to host Barnsley FC in a critical League One encounter at the Racecourse Ground on Saturday, with the home team looking to maintain their impressive unbeaten home record. The Dragons have not lost at home in their last 16 league matches, making it a daunting task for the visiting Barnsley side, who aim to seize their first win against Wrexham at this venue in 17 attempts. In the lead-up to the match, Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson highlighted the significance of the fixture, stating, ‘This is a big game for us, and we look to build on our home form and keep the momentum going.’ Barnsley, currently positioned in the middle of the table, are eager to improve their away form, which has seen them struggle on the road with just one victory in their last five away games. Barnsley head coach Neill Collins emphasized the necessity of obtaining points away from home, remarking, ‘We need to change our mindset when we’re playing away. Every point is vital, and we’re focused on going into this match with confidence.’ Both teams have key absences, with Wrexham likely missing striker Ollie Palmer due to injury, while Barnsley’s duo, Adam Phillips and Mads Andersen, remain doubtful. Kick-off is set for 3 PM on Saturday, making this match crucial for both sides as the season progresses.
