Wrexham vs Burnley team news and expert analysis
The Welsh club rose rapidly under their new owners and earned promotion to the Championship last season. They narrowly missed out on a play-off place, finishing seventh. However, they have made a poor start this time around: they immediately lost to Middlesbrough in the League Cup, while their Championship campaign began with draws before they suffered a defeat to Birmingham. They subsequently beat Millwall and ended their derby against Swansea in a goalless draw.
The Turf Moor side once again failed to establish themselves in the Premier League after earning promotion there a year earlier. Moreover, they have struggled in the new campaign: both League Cup matches ended in draws, although they progressed past Notts County before being eliminated by Bradford. In the Championship, they drew with fellow relegation side West Ham before losing to West Bromwich Albion and Norwich. After a 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough, they then lost 1-2 to Bristol City.
The Welsh side are currently averaging 1.2 goals scored and 0.8 conceded per match. The players who were still competing in the Premier League in the spring are scoring 1.2 goals per game at this lower level, while conceding exactly twice as many, at 2.4.
