Sat Mar 01 11:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Wrexham Aim for Crucial Victory Against Bolton in Promotion Push

**Wrexham, Wales –** Wrexham AFC face a crucial League One clash against Bolton Wanderers this Saturday at 12:30 pm UK time, their hopes of automatic promotion hanging in the balance. Following their recent elimination from the FA Trophy, the Red Dragons, currently third in the table, must overcome a challenging opponent with a strong recent record against them.

The match at the Racecourse Ground holds significant importance. A win is vital for Wrexham to close the gap on second-placed Wycombe Wanderers, who face a tough match against Birmingham City. Should Wycombe drop points, a Wrexham victory would significantly boost their chances of securing automatic promotion to the Championship next season.

However, Bolton represent a formidable challenge. While Wrexham defeated them in the EFL Trophy earlier this year, their league record against Bolton is dismal. They’ve only won one of their last ten league encounters, with seven losses and two draws, including a 0-0 stalemate earlier this season. Their last league victory over Bolton dates back to 1982. Adding to the pressure, Bolton are in strong form, having won their last three League One matches. Furthermore, Bolton boasts a strong away record against Wrexham, having secured four victories in their last five visits to the Racecourse Ground.

Manager Phil Parkinson faces a midfield selection dilemma, with Matty James potentially returning from injury but potentially upsetting the balance of the team. A loss could severely hamper Wrexham’s promotion hopes, particularly if Wycombe manage a positive result against Birmingham. The match promises a tense and decisive encounter as Wrexham fight for a crucial three points in their pursuit of a third consecutive promotion.
