Wrexham vs Wigan Athletic: EFL Cup Live Stream, Form Guide, Head to Head, Schedule, Fixture and Probable Lineups

Wrexham is set to participate in the EFL Cup for the first time in 16 years as they host Wigan Athletic at the Racecourse Ground on Tuesday. After making their return to the Football League, the Red Dragons had a disappointing start with a defeat against MK Dons, whereas Wigan kicked off their League One campaign with a narrow victory.

After concluding an impressive National League campaign that ended their 15-year absence from the Football League, Wrexham started the 2023-24 League Two season as strong contenders for promotion to the third tier. However, MK Dons demonstrated their own attacking firepower, resulting in a 5-3 defeat for Wrexham. The team will now seek to bounce back in the midweek fixture as they participate in the EFL Cup, a competition they haven’t been part of since their 5-0 loss to Aston Villa in the second round back in August 2007.

Following their relegation from the Championship due to financial difficulties, Wigan started the season with an eight-point deduction. Wigan is eager to overcome Wrexham in the EFL Cup, aiming to build momentum in the early stages of the campaign. Their recent history in the competition doesn’t provide much optimism, as they have been unable to progress past the first round in four of the last five seasons. Additionally, in their last eight away games in the EFL Cup, they have suffered seven defeats, with their only positive result during that period coming in August 2021 when they secured a penalty shootout victory over Hull City after drawing 1-1.
