Chelsea can be both exciting and erratic in the same game, but there can be no denying they have the class to prove a cut above here.

Wrexham vs Chelsea Head-To-Head Record

These teams haven’t met since the 1981/82 season, when both languished in the old Division Two and ironically were also drawn together in this competition, with Chelsea prevailing 2-1 in Wales in a second replay.

Wrexham Form Guide

The Dragons are acquitting themselves well in the Championship , lying in sixth place after recently completing a hat-trick of wins over Ipswich , Portsmouth and Charlton . Scoring goals at that level has not been a problem for Phil Parkinson’s side, but it has to be noted that only rock-bottom Sheffield Wednesday have conceded more times at home.

Wrexham got through three rounds of the EFL Cup before losing 2-1 to Cardiff at the Racecourse Ground. In this competition, they edged out Premier League side Nottingham Forest on penalties following a thrilling 3-3 draw at this venue and then saw off Ipswich .

Kieffer Moore has bagged 13 goals overall this term and has the physical presence to unsettle this weekend’s visitors. The Wales forward has been used as a substitute in cup games, though, so 8/1 for him to be the last goalscorer takes the eye from the Wrexham vs Chelsea odds.

Chelsea Form Guide

Chelsea are fifth in the Premier League and still going strong in the Champions League, with a first-leg trip to PSG coming up next Wednesday. However, for all their talented individuals, the Blues still remain an enigma, even since the arrival of Liam Rosenior as head coach.

Recent top-flight results back up that view, with frustrating home draws against struggling Leeds and Burnley followed by a brave 2-1 defeat at Arsenal and an impressive 4-1 romp away to fourth-placed Aston Villa.

However, what stands out most on their CV are two emphatic away FA Cup wins against Championship clubs, with Charlton crushed 5-1 at The Valley and promotion-chasing Hull hammered 4-0 at the MKM Stadium. With their next hosts having a leaky defence, as mentioned above, let’s add 16/5 for the Blues to score four or more goals at the Racecourse Ground to our Wrexham vs Chelsea betting tips.
