Wrexham saw their promotion hopes take a blow following their meeting with Bristol Rovers on Friday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prior to the latest round of League One fixtures getting underway, Wycombe Wanderers fans sent a message to Rob McElhenney<\/a> regarding the promotion race.<\/p>\n

The Chairboys have been the Red Dragons\u2019 closest rivals in the battle for second, and April 18 was a great day for them.<\/p>\n

Wrexham<\/a> have been leading the charge to join Birmingham City as the two teams that secure automatic promotion from the top-flight this campaign.<\/p>\n

However, with Wycombe now on a three-game winning streak, it is Mike Dodds\u2019 men who are in the driver\u2019s seat.<\/p>\n

Wrexham drew 1-1 with Bristol Rovers<\/a> on Friday, while Wycombe beat Bolton Wanderers 1-0, reclaiming second place for the first time in several weeks.<\/p>\n

As late as Friday morning, Wrexham were predicted to win promotion<\/a> to the Championship by taking the final automatic place.<\/p>\n

However, with two huge points dropped over the Easter weekend, their chances of doing so have decreased a great deal.<\/p>\n

As per Opta\u2019s<\/a> supercomputer, Wycombe are now being backed to end 2024\/25 sat in second with 88.81 points.<\/p>\n

Wrexham, on the other hand, take third with 87.15 points amassed by the time May 3 ends.<\/p>\n

On a more positive note, Wrexham are given a 76.22 percent chance of winning a place in next season\u2019s Championship via the play-offs.<\/p>\n\nExpected league position<\/strong><\/td>\nTeam<\/strong><\/td>\nExpected points<\/strong><\/td>\nTitle<\/strong><\/td>\nPromotion<\/strong><\/td>\nPromotion P\/O<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n1<\/td>\nBirmingham<\/td>\n106.22<\/td>\n100.00%<\/td>\n100.00%<\/td>\n0.00%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2<\/td>\nWycombe<\/td>\n88.81<\/td>\n0.00%<\/td>\n70.92%<\/td>\n29.08%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n3<\/td>\nWrexham<\/td>\n87.15<\/td>\n0.00%<\/td>\n23.78%<\/td>\n76.22%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n4<\/td>\nCharlton<\/td>\n83.15<\/td>\n0.00%<\/td>\n3.20%<\/td>\n96.80%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n5<\/td>\nStockport<\/td>\n82.75<\/td>\n0.00%<\/td>\n2.10%<\/td>\n97.90%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Wrexham fans should not get too concerned about Opta\u2019s prediction for the final League One table, however.<\/p>\n

There may only be three games of the season remaining, but the Red Dragons have some decent fixtures coming up.<\/p>\n\nDate<\/strong><\/td>\nFixture<\/strong><\/td>\nOpposition League Position<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nApril 21<\/td>\nBlackpool vs Wrexham<\/td>\n10th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nApril 26<\/td>\nWrexham vs Charlton<\/td>\n4th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nMay 3<\/td>\nLincoln City vs Wrexham<\/td>\n11th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
