Sheffield United vs Wrexham Prediction & Betting Tips - Carabao Cup
by Nella Wagah in Carabao Cup Predictions
The excitement that greeted the League Cup draw pitting Sheffield United against Wrexham will go a notch higher this Tuesday. The two sides face off in the first round, hosted by Sheffield United. Here’s our preview and prediction of the match as Wrexham seek revenge from two seasons ago.
In a tense FA Cup replay in 2023, Sheffield United emerged tops at home after drawing 3-3 away to Wrexham. That win marked a third unbeaten game against Wrexham and Sheffield scored three times in all the matches.
The Blades started their Championship season with a 2-0 win against Preston. However, a 2-point penalty means they start playing catch-up as early as Week 1. Their run of four wins in five preseason matches was a stark contrast to their seven straight losses to wrap up the league in 2023/24. They will hope to make it two wins in two this season.
Down in League One, Wrexham also started on a winning note, beating Wycombe Wanderers 3-2. Just promoted from League Two, Wrexham had shaky moments especially in the second half, having gone to the break leading 2-0.
Phil Parkinson will definitely be calling for better defending as they open their cup quest against an attacking team. The manager was in charge during their FA Cup defeat and he will feel the fans’ call for revenge.
Heading into this game, The Red Dragons hope to carry on their form at the close of last season. Their opening win of 2024/25 means they are on six straight wins in competitive action. With that, they will feel motivated enough to take on a side that just a few months back, played in the Premier League.

Our Sheffield United vs Wrexham Prediction
There is a simmering rivalry between these teams, fanned by Sheffield United’s elimination of Wrexham in the FA Cup last year. While the hosts are still the favorites to win here, Wrexham won’t give them an easy pass.
The visitors’ start to the season had the same traits as seen in the past – strength in attack but leaking at the back. Sheffield will seek to punish Wrexham’s defensive weaknesses but they’ll also be at risk. With the expected focus on attack, our prediction for Sheffield United v Wrexham is for the game to have over 2.5 goals.
