Ryan Reynolds will be praying that Wrexham get one over on Birmingham City so his wish can finally come true.

Wrexham host Birmingham City in a Championship fixture on Friday, October 2.

The Dragons go into the match 15th in the Championship table but only two points adrift of their old League One promotion rivals.

Wrexham are yet to win at home this season, but that will have to change at some point, and Ryan Reynolds would no doubt love it to be against Birmingham, more specifically, Tom Brady.

Ryan Reynolds wants to beat Tom Brady

Reynolds, Rob Mac and Brady have become rivals following the two sides going head-to-head in League One last season.

Despite finishing second and securing their highest-ever points total in the EFL, Wrexham failed to beat Birmingham last season.

In September, Chris Davies’ men came away with a pretty comfortable 3-1 win.

Wrexham were much-improved in the last meeting back in February, earning a 1-1 draw thanks to an Ollie Rathbone goal.

Prior to that match, Reynolds spoke about beating Tom Brady at sports, saying he would ‘love’ for it to happen.

He said: “Would I love to beat Tom Brady at sports? Yes, the answer is yes, an emphatic yes. Would Rob? Maybe more, I think more.”

How likely are Wrexham to beat Birmingham

You have to go all the way back to the 90s for the last time Wrexham actually beat Birmingham.

The Dragons secured a 3-1 victory in the FA Cup in 1997, with the Blues winning two and drawing one of the following fixtures.

Going into this week’s match, Opta’s supercomputer predicts that Wrexham are favourites for the win.

They give Phil Parkinson’s side a 42.5% chance of securing the three points, while Birmingham have a 30.8% chance of doing so.
