Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds are looking to secure a third-straight promotion with Wrexham.

The Wrexham owners should be thrilled by the club’s rise since they took control back in February 2021.

Wrexham lost in the play-offs in 2021/22 before securing promotion from the National League in 2022/23.

The Welsh outfit then wasted little time in League Two, earning second place under Phil Parkinson to book a spot in League One for the current campaign.

It has been a largely positive start to 2024/25 for the Red Dragons, who sit second in the table after 10 games.

Most of the sides around them do have a game in hand at present so Wrexham could still drop down the division in the coming weeks but a promotion push remains firmly on the cards.

Hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have been told why Wrexham will not win the League One title in 2024/25.

Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds given fresh Wrexham League One promotion prediction

However, promotion to the Championship via the other automatic promotion place or by winning the play-offs remains firmly on the cards.

Now, Opta have made a fresh prediction for the League One promotion race during the October international break and it is good news for McElhenney and Reynolds.

Before the 2024/25 season got underway, Opta gave Wrexham a 0.02 percent chance of winning promotion to the Championship via the automatic spots.

Now though, the Welsh outfit have seen that total rise to 3.9 percent after 10 games of 2024/25.

It is still a relatively low chance but is a major improvement from just two months ago and shows Wrexham are heading in the right direction.

Wrexham told their biggest League One promotion rivals

Wrexham now crack the top 10 when it comes to their chances of winning automatic promotion.

But a further eight teams currently have a higher chance of securing a top-two spot come the end of 2024/25.

Unsurprisingly, Birmingham City have the best chances of winning automatic promotion with Opta awarding them 86.2 percent.

Lincoln City are then second favourites with a 37.7 chance before a big drop-off sees Wycombe Wanderers ranked third with a 19.3 percent chance.

Bolton Wanderers, Huddersfield Town, Blackpool, Exeter City, Peterborough United, Wrexham and Wigan Athletic round out the remainder of the top-10 list.
