  • Wrexham currently occupies the final playoff spot in sixth place, level on points with seventh-place Hull City but holding a one-goal advantage in goal difference.
  • On the final matchday next Saturday, Wrexham faces fourth-place Middlesbrough at home while Hull City hosts ninth-place Norwich, with Wrexham controlling its own destiny to secure the playoff position.
