										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Birmingham City will host Wrexham on April 12, 2026, at St Andrew&#8217;s, with kick-off scheduled for 12 PM. This match is crucial for Wrexham, who are looking to get their Championship play-off push back on track after a disappointing 5-1 loss to Southampton, which saw them drop out of the top six.</p>
<p>Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson has called on his side to respond positively away at Birmingham, emphasizing the need to ensure that the recent defeat does not define their season. In contrast, Birmingham City has struggled recently, failing to win in their last four games, which has dampened their own play-off hopes.</p>
<p>The last encounter between these two teams ended in a 1-1 draw, but Birmingham has an unbeaten record in their past three games against Wrexham. However, Birmingham&#8217;s recent form has been concerning, with only 2 wins, 6 losses, and 2 draws in their last 10 league matches.</p>
<p>Wrexham&#8217;s performance over the same period has been more favorable, with 5 victories, 3 defeats, and 2 draws. The team will look to capitalize on this momentum as they face Birmingham, who are struggling to find their footing.</p>
<p>Confirmed lineups for the match include Birmingham&#8217;s James Beadle in goal and Bright Osayi-Samuel, while Wrexham will feature Arthur Okonkwo and Max Cleworth. Fans can watch the match live on Sky Sports, with radio coverage provided by talkSPORT 2.</p>
<p>Both teams are backed by American owners who successfully delivered promotion from League One last season, adding an extra layer of competitiveness to this encounter. As the match approaches, the stakes are high for both sides, with Wrexham aiming to reclaim their position in the play-off race.</p>
<p>Details remain unconfirmed regarding any last-minute changes to the lineups or tactical adjustments. The outcome of this match could be pivotal for both teams as they navigate the challenges of the Championship.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>The numbers</h2>
<p>In a gripping encounter at The Hawthorns, Wrexham staged a remarkable comeback to earn a <strong>2-2 draw</strong> against West Bromwich Albion. The match saw Wrexham come from two goals down, showcasing their resilience and determination.</p>
<p>West Brom initially took control of the game, with <strong>Josh Maja</strong> scoring a penalty and <strong>George Dobson</strong> inadvertently contributing with an own goal. However, Wrexham&#8217;s <strong>Josh Windass</strong> responded with his <strong>12th goal of the season</strong>, followed by a crucial equalizer from Dobson, redeeming himself after his earlier mistake.</p>
<p>The match was notable as it marked the first league fixture between West Brom and Wrexham at The Hawthorns. Both teams had opportunities to clinch the win in the dying moments, but the match ultimately ended in a draw.</p>
<p>West Brom&#8217;s manager, <strong>James Morrison</strong>, reflected on the match, stating, &#8220;A game of two halves wasn&#8217;t it? I thought we were excellent in the first half, we had control.&#8221; His counterpart, <strong>Phil Parkinson</strong>, praised his team&#8217;s second-half performance, saying, &#8220;Fantastic response after the break. We were a bit passive in the first half if we&#8217;re honest.&#8221;</p>
<p>This draw extended West Brom&#8217;s unbeaten run to <strong>five matches</strong>, although they currently sit <strong>20th in the league</strong>, just <strong>four points above the relegation zone</strong>. Meanwhile, Wrexham climbed to <strong>sixth place</strong>, now <strong>one point clear of Southampton</strong>.</p>
<p>Looking ahead, Wrexham&#8217;s next challenge will be a match against Southampton, where they will aim to build on their recent momentum. The match was broadcast live on Paramount Plus and Sky Sports, allowing fans to witness the thrilling action.</p>
<p>Details remain unconfirmed regarding any potential injuries or tactical adjustments for the upcoming fixtures, but both teams will be eager to capitalize on their performances as the season progresses.</p>
