Pick of the stats: Wrexham v Blackburn Rovers

Wrexham could climb into the play-off places when they welcome Blackburn to the Stok Cae Ras on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

Phil Parkinson's men have won four straight home games, keeping three clean sheets, and Wednesday's 2-0 win over Bristol City made it seven unbeaten and took the Red Dragons into 10th, just two points outside the top-six.

Rovers were stung by a late 1-0 defeat at home to QPR on the same night and lie 18th, just four points clear of the relegation zone, but head to Wales seeking a fourth straight away win and sixth of the campaign.

• This is the first league meeting between Wrexham and Blackburn Rovers since March 1982, with the Welsh side winning 1-0 at home in the second tier.

• Blackburn Rovers have won just one of their past 13 Football League games against Wrexham, though nine of those games have been drawn (L3).

• Blackburn have lost seven of their past 10 league games against newly-promoted sides (W3) and 14 of their last 15 on the road (D1).

• Wrexham are unbeaten in their past three weekend league matches (W1 D2), keeping a clean sheet in the last two (1-0 v Charlton and 0-0 v Ipswich). They had only kept one clean sheet in their first nine weekend games in the Championship this season beforehand.

• Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson has lost both his previous league meetings with Blackburn, coming during his time in charge of Bolton Wanderers in 2018-19.
