Wrexham will host Exeter City at the Racecourse Ground on Saturday afternoon.
Phil Parkinson will be looking for his side to bounce back following a shock defeat last time out.
Wrexham lost 1-0 versus Stockport County last weekend, continuing their worrying trend of being poor on the road.
However, this weekend’s meeting will see the Red Dragons return to the Racecourse Ground, where they have been much stronger in 2024/25.
Wrexham are currently third in League One but need three points this weekend if they are to keep pace with Wycombe Wanderers and Birmingham City, both of whom have at least one game in hand on the Welsh side.
Beating Exeter will be easier said than done, however, with The Grecians firmly in the play-off picture, sitting five points behind Wrexham with a game in hand.

Phil Parkinson can set Wrexham record vs Exeter City
Despite not too much separating these two sides in the table, Wrexham should be favourites for the game.
Wrexham have one of the best home records in the EFL, which has been especially important given their questionable away form.
Now, Parkinson could break a historic record if he is able to guide his side to three points on Saturday.
So far, Wrexham have earned more points at home in League One this season (19) than any other side.
Now, a win vs Exeter will see them best their previous record of 21 points from their opening eight home games, last set in the 1969/1970 campaign.

Wrexham must fix away record to secure promotion
At present, Wrexham’s superb form at the Racecourse is keeping them in the promotion race.
However, if they really want to have the best chance possible of remaining in with a shot at securing a top-two finish, they must improve on the road.
Wrexham have now dropped points in seven of their 15 league games in 2024/25 so far.
And barring a 0-0 draw with Huddersfield Town in October, all of those points were dropped on the road.
Wrexham have won just two away league ties so far this season – a run which simply must improve in the coming weeks.
