How to watch Bristol Rovers vs Wrexham

Wrexham travel to managerless Bristol Rovers on December 21 in hopes on pushing into the top two.

The Gas’ dire form led to the sacking of Matt Taylor on December 16, with a replacement still not announced for the Red Dragons’ trip. 

This will no doubt give Parkinson’s side a potential advantage in their trip to the Memorial Stadium with three points expected.

Fans unable to make the trip will be able to watch the game via Sky Sports +, with kick-off scheduled for 12:30pm.

How to watch Wrexham vs Blackpool

On Boxing Day, Wrexham face a crucial clash in their race for a third successive promotion.

Blackpool visit the Racecourse Stadium with their recent resurgence in form transforming the club into a potential playoff outsider.

The match-up will be the first meeting between the two sides since 2005 with Blackpool seeing out a 4-3 victory on that occasion.

Sky Sports + is set to broadcast the match on December 26. Kick-off is at 3pm.

How to watch Barnsley vs Wrexham

The final game on this list is Wrexham’s visit to Barnsley on New Year’s Day. The tie is a crucial game in the race for promotion with the Colliers also pushing for a return to the Championship.

In their previous meeting, Wrexham came out 1-0 winners thanks to Oliver Rathbone’s late goal in early December. 

However, Parkinson’s side will now be looking to repeat this feat in what would be a crucial three points.

The match is set to be broadcast live on Sky Sports +. Kick-off is at 3:00pm.
