Wrexham continue their push for the National League title — and promotion back to the English Football League — with a crucial home clash against struggling Yeovil Town.
Phil Parkinson’s side need just two more wins from their final three matches to confirm the title, but their league form has dipped in recent weeks.
Despite securing a thrilling Ben Foster-inspired 3-2 win over second-place Notts County on April 10, the Welsh side have dropped points at Halifax, and in a 0-0 weekend draw at Barnet.
Victory for Wrexham tonight would also spell the end for Yeovil, who need to win their remaining three matches to stand any chance of avoiding relegation, alongside Scunthorpe United and Maidstone United.
