Wrexham and Birmingham City meet for the first time this season on Friday evening.
The ‘Hollywood Derby’, as it has been affectionately dubbed, will take place at 8pm UK time at the Racecourse Ground.
Wrexham go into the fixture still searching for their first home league win of the campaign and are below Birmingham City in the table.
But the Blues are struggling for consistent form as well, having dropped two points to a relegation-threatened Sheffield Wednesday in midweek.

Now, EFL pundit Sam Parkin has predicted the winner of Wrexham’s meeting with Birmingham.
Wrexham vs Birmingham City score prediction
Wrexham are looking to end an unwanted 46-year record against Birmingham, having struggled to secure wins against the Midlands outfit in the past.
The North America-backed clubs met twice in League One last season, but the Dragons failed to pick up a win.
They lost 3-1 away from home and drew 1-1 at the Racecourse Ground in a tie that saw Max Cleworth heaped in praise for his performance against Jay Stansfield.
But that long wait for a win could finally come to an end this week if Parkin’s prediction comes true.
The EFL pundit, speaking to Benjamin Bloom, has backed Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac’s club to nick a later winner.
He said: “Do you know what? I’m going to go for Wrexham with the home advantage to nick this, and I’m going to go for Wrexham to win maybe late on by two goals to one.”
How to watch Wrexham vs Birmingham City in United States and Canada
Given Reynolds, Mac and Brady’s tie to both clubs, there is expected to be plenty of interest in this fixture from North America.
Brady won’t attend Wrexham vs Birmingham as he has commitments away from English football.
But it’s still expected to be an entertaining clash, and fans from the US and Canada can watch it live.
In the US, kick-off will be at 4:00pm (ET) and 1:00pm (PT) and the match will be streamed live on Paramount Plus and CBS.
