Wrexham are set to host Charlton Athletic at the Racecourse Ground on Saturday in what's shaping up to be a pivotal clash in the race for second place and automatic promotion.
Currently, the Red Dragons sit four points clear of fourth-placed Charlton, with Wycombe Wanderers sandwiched in third, just two points behind the Red Dragons.
Phil Parkinson's side reclaimed second spot on Easter Monday with a hard-fought 2-1 victory away at Blackpool. Meanwhile, Charlton sent a strong message by dismantling Wycombe 4-0, keeping their promotion hopes very much alive.
That result, paired with some verbal jabs from Charlton boss Nathan Jones, who referred to Wrexham as a "circus" has added extra spice to this weekend's showdown.
While Wrexham may not be a circus, things have been anything but quiet since Hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney took the reins. A third consecutive promotion is within reach, and the dream of Championship football is alive and well.
However, recent form has raised some questions. Three draws in their last five matches have left the door ajar for the chasing pack, with Wycombe, Charlton, and Stockport among them.
A win for Charlton on Saturday would bring them to within just a single point of Wrexham heading into the final matchday. Still, Wrexham control their destiny. A win this weekend, coupled with a Wycombe slip-up at Leyton Orient, would put a seal on a historic promotion to the Championship.
