Wrexham will host Charlton Athletic at the Racecourse Ground on Saturday as the two newly promoted sides lock horns in the 15th round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have had mixed results in recent games but could climb into the top half of the table with maximum points on Saturday.
They played out a goalless draw away at Portsmouth on Wednesday and had goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo to thank for the sole point, as the 24-year-old made seven saves to keep Pompey at bay. Wrexham have now climbed up to 14th place in the Championship table with 18 points.
Charlton Athletic have exceeded expectations upon returning to the English second tier this season and will be keen to keep their good form going. They picked up a narrow 1-0 home victory over West Bromwich Albion last time out with summer signing Sonny Carey drilling home a late winner to send the home fans into rapture.
The visitors sit sixth in the table with 23 points and will be looking to consolidate their place in the promotion playoff spots with another win on Saturday.
