Wrexham and Millwall will meet in a Championship fixture on Saturday, August 30.

Wrexham are predicted to lose the tie by one pundit, while another has suggested a draw could be on the cards.

The Dragons have failed to win any of their opening Championship fixtures, most recently drawing with Sheffield Wednesday.

It leaves Wrexham facing the prospect of relegation according to Opta’s supercomputer, which sits them 23rd in the division come May.

Millwall have lost a key player ahead of their meeting with the Welsh team, but Phil Parkinson’s side are not expected to win regardless.

Ahead of the weekend’s action getting underway, the EFL have announced the match officials for each Championship fixture.

Millwall vs Wrexham referee oversaw historic Paul Mullin moment

Kirk has previously taken charge of three games for the Welsh club.

The last time he did so was in January when Wrexham lost 3-2 to Stevenage at the Racecourse Ground.

It was their first home loss of the 2024/25 campaign and also their first since March 2024.

Furthermore, Paul Mullin found the back of the net during that fixture – his third league goal of the season.

That strike has proven to be Mullin’s last in a competitive match for Wrexham following the striker’s move to Wigan Athletic earlier this summer.
