Wrexham vs Hull City Prediction and Betting Tips

Wrexham will host Hull City at the Racecourse Ground on Tuesday in the first round of the 2025-26 League Cup campaign. The home side, who have enjoyed a meteoric rise on the English football pyramid in recent years, marked their return to the English Championship with a 2-1 defeat to Southampton, conceding twice in extra time, and will be looking to pick up their first win of the season next week.

They were knocked out at this stage of the domestic cup last season after losing 4-2 to Sheffield United and will hope they can find better luck this time around.

Hull City, meanwhile, locked horns with Coventry City in their Championship opener on Saturday. They played out a goalless draw with the Sky Blues and could have no major complaints about the result after an overall cagey affair on the road.

Like their midweek opponents, the visitors were also eliminated at this stage of the EFL Cup last season after a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday and will be looking to go at least a step further this season.

Wrexham vs Hull City Prediction

The Red Dragons are on a three-game losing streak and will be looking to snap that streak this week. They have won four of their last five competitive games on home turf and will head into the midweek clash as slight favorites.

The Tigers performed well during the off-season and will fancy their chances of a positive result here. They have, however, struggled for results on the road in recent outings and could lose this one.
