Wrexham and Bradford City lock horns at the Racecourse Ground on Tuesday for a clash in the second round of the Carabao Cup.
Coming off the back of a topsy-turvy run, Wrexham are looking to add wind to their sails by picking up a win here.
With just one win from their opening five games of the Football League Two season, the Robins are down in 16th position of the league table with six points.
That win came against Walsall at home in a 4-2 triumph, but since then, Phil Parkinson's side have drawn both their matches.
However, considering it's their first appearance in the fourth division of English football in 15 years, it's not surprising to see them struggle.
In the last round of the cup, though, Wrexham overcame League One side Wigan Athletic 4-2 on penalties following a goalless stalemate.
Bradford, too, failed to win in normal time in the first round of the cup, drawing 1-1 with Accrington Stanley, before prevailing 4-1 in the shootout to reach the next round.
On the league front, the Bantams haven't covered themselves in glory either, winning just twice from their first five matches thus far.
Their second win came in their most recent outing, though, beating Crewe Alexandra 1-0 at home, with Jamie Walker scoring the only goal of the game in the opening stanza.

Wrexham vs Bradford Prediction
Wrexham have had a difficult introduction to life in the fourth division, and their poor form could have an impact here. While Bradford haven't particularly hit full throttle, they have enough in the tank to see Wrexham off eventually.
This could go down to a shootout following a draw, and the Bantams should prevail on penalties.
Prediction: Wrexham 1-1 (3-4 on pens.) Bradford
