Offensively they are averaging 1.60 goals per game, with 1.40 conceded. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.
Accrington ST's home record over their last 10 home games: 5W 1D 4L (1.60 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.50 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.

The form data does not support a straightforward home bias here. Wrexham are 0.50 PPG ahead (2.10 vs 1.60), making them the form-guided selection despite the trip.
In-Play Data
Accrington ST trading profile (last 17 games, 8 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 88% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 67% of those occasions; they lead at the break 47% of the time; BTTS occurs in 62% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games (home games).
Wrexham trading profile (last 17 games, 8 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 50% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; they lead at the break 47% of the time; of the 8 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 25%; of the 5 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 60%; BTTS occurs in 38% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 12% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 35%.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Accrington ST 59% versus Wrexham 59%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Accrington ST 59% | Wrexham 53%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Accrington ST 1.09 xG and Wrexham 1.05 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Accrington ST attack 0.881 / defence 1.045 | Wrexham attack 0.779 / defence 0.817. League average goals — home 1.515 / away 1.285. Wrexham's attack rating of 0.779 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.05. Data: built from Accrington ST's last 17 games and Wrexham's last 17.
Result probabilities: Accrington ST 36% | Draw 30% | Wrexham 34%. Fair-value odds: Accrington ST 2.75 | Draw 3.37 | Wrexham 2.94. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 30% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 36% | BTTS Yes probability 43% | Total xG 2.14. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 64% — total xG of 2.14 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No at 57% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates Accrington ST as the most likely outcome at 36% — marginal model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Wrexham (2.10 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — the model adjusts for opposition strength, which raw form results do not. With a 30% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Accrington ST offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 34% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
Poisson projects 2.14 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 64% probability — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 57%. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Accrington ST 60% (last 10 home games) | Wrexham 38% (last 8 away games).

Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 36%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 63% and landed.

Historically the two sides average 56% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Accrington ST 59%, Wrexham 53%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 59%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
