- The addition of high-energy pressing and a more fluid tactical set up since Valerien Ismael took the helm in February 2025 has helped make Rovers a tougher team to beat, but they still have a lot of work to do if they want to pull themselves away from the drop zone.
Wrexham (away)
- Wrexham are winless in three away games (drawn 1, lost 2).
- Wrexham are doing just fine in 13th with 31 points from 23 matches, a very creditable return for their first season back at this level in a long time.
- With Rovers looking to build on a slight improvement in form at Ewood, Wrexham travel to Lancashire having lost two of their last three away.
