Norwich City lock horns with Wrexham in the sixth round of games in the Championship on Saturday. The two sides are in opposite halves of the points table.
Liam Manning's Norwich are coming off a 1-1 draw at Coventry City last weekend. Mathias Kvistgaarden's 17th-minute opener looked likely to be an unlikely winner at the Coventry Building Society Arena. However, Haji Wright saved Coventry's blushes with an equaliser in the sixth minute of stoppage time, having dominated possession (65%) and more shots on target (4-1).
Following the stalemate, Norwich are 10th in the standings, with seven points from five games, winning two.
Meanwhile, Phil Parkinson's Wrexham are fresh off a 3-1 home defeat to Queens Park Rangers. The visitors led 2-0 at half-time, thanks to a Conor Coady own goal and Richard Kone strike on the cusp of the break.
The Red Dragons reduced arrears midway through the second half through Kieffer Moore, but Roman Burrell restored QPR's two-goal lead eight minutes later. Following a third defeat in five games, Wrexham are just above the relegation zone, in 21st, with four points, having won just once this season.
On that note, here's a look at the head-to-head stats and key numbers, match prediction, and betting tips for the Norwich-Wrexham Championship contest at Carrow Road:

In terms of head-to-head, the Canaries have absolutely dominated Wrexham, winning eight times in 10 meetings. The two sides haven't met in more than four decades.
However, going by Norwich's superior start to the season and overall dominance in the fixture, expect the Canaries - who are winless at home this season - to coast to a comfortable win.
