Wrexham may have a rare night off, but their supporters will be watching with serious interest as third-place Wycombe Wanderers travel to face eighth-place Huddersfield Town in what could be a pivotal clash in the League One promotion race.
Currently sitting second with 81 points from 41 matches, Wrexham have just five points of breathing room over Wycombe (75 points with a game in hand), making this fixture one of the most consequential non-Wrexham games of the season.

What’s at Stake for Wrexham?
If Wycombe wins, they move to 78 points with a game in hand—just three behind Wrexham and very much in striking range for an automatic promotion spot. But a draw or loss drops crucial points from Wycombe’s max potential and chips away at Wrexham’s magic number, which represents the combined points Wrexham needs to secure promotion regardless of other teams’ results.
For example:
- A Wycombe loss = 3 points dropped → Wrexham’s magic number drops by 3.
- A Wycombe draw = 2 points dropped → Magic number drops by 2.
Given Wrexham’s superior position and fewer remaining matches, even a single Wycombe slip-up tightens Wrexham’s grip on the Championship ticket.
Why Huddersfield Could Be Heroes in Red
Huddersfield are not out of the playoff hunt. Sitting on 64 points, they still have a chance to sneak into the top six if they finish strong. That gives them plenty of motivation to go all-out at home at John Smith’s Stadium.
Add to that a solid goal difference and the pride of playing spoiler, and Wrexham fans will be fully justified in rooting for the Terriers to turn up big.

Final Word
This match could redefine the final weeks of League One. A win for Wycombe puts immense pressure on Wrexham. A draw or loss, however, gives Wrexham breathing room, lowers their magic number, and strengthens their hold on promotion.
So while Wrexham rest, the fans won’t. Tonight, everyone in North Wales is a Huddersfield fan.
