The Red Dragons surged back into the EFL ranks in record-breaking style last season, as they claimed the National League title.

Wrexham have eight games left to take in this season, starting with a trip to Grimsby on Saturday, and Phil Parkinson has said of a thrilling climax to the campaign: "It is still all to play for. It is a very tight division and very competition, and we are in the mix where we want to be. We could be a in a lot stronger position, but we are not. But we look at the league table and say 'it is just an eight-game season, that's what it is all about now', and we have got to be ready for that."

Data analysts have used a SuperComputer – which takes into account betting partners, sentimental analysis and historic form – to draw up a final League Two table using code that is “written and simulated 1,000 times to rule out anomalous results”. The good news for Wrexham is that they are predicted to finish third on 85 points, five adrift of champions Mansfield but two clear of MK Dons in fourth.
WHAT NEXT?
Stockport are considered most likely to claim the other automatic promotion spot, as runners-up, while Barrow, Crewe Alexandra and AFC Wimbledon complete the play-off pack.
