Phil Parkinson\u2019s side can take encouragement from a well-earned draw away at Middlesbrough last weekend, but consistency remains an issue. A string of stalemates has slowed their early-season momentum, and breaking down Cardiff over 90 minutes may prove difficult. With goals in short supply for both sides, another closely contested encounter seems likely \u2014 the draw looks the smart play here. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>kieffer Moore First Goalscorer<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"\/en\/go\/smarkets?q=gb-all-tmp-wof-s-spo~7\/10~0&amp;bet=1\">11\/2 @ SBK<\/a><br>(20.0%)<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">It\u2019s a competitive field in the goalscorer market, but Kieffer Moore stands out as a strong option to break the deadlock. The former Cardiff forward has been central to Wrexham\u2019s attacking threat this season, registering five goal contributions \u2014 four goals and one assist \u2014 to sit joint-top of their scoring charts.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n    <div class=\"sq-toplist\">\n        <div class=\"sq-toplist__items\">\n\t\t\t    <div\n            class=\"sq-toplist__item\"\n            data-entity-id=\"1386612\"\n            data-offer-id=\"1386613\"\n    >\n\t\t            <span class=\"sq-toplist__label\">Squawka recommends <\/span>\n\t\t        <div class=\"sq-toplist__item-container\">\n            <div class=\"sq-toplist__offer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/go\/dabble?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"Dabble\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"10\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"logo\" class=\"sq-toplist__logo\" style=\"background:#7c44fd\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"50\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/05\/13155709\/1381837_1381837_dabble.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Dabble Logo\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/05\/13155709\/1381837_1381837_dabble.png 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/05\/13155709\/1381837_1381837_dabble-40x13.png 40w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"sq-toplist__offer-box\">\n                    <span class=\"sq-toplist__bookmaker\">\n                        <a href=\"\/en\/go\/dabble?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"Dabble\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"10\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"brand_name\">Dabble<\/a>                    <\/span>\n                    <span class=\"sq-toplist__offer-title is-tablet-visible\">\n                        <a href=\"\/en\/go\/dabble?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"Dabble\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"10\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"offer\">BET \u00a35, GET \u00a320 IN FREE BETS + 2 Rocket Odds Boosts On Your 1st Deposit<\/a>                    <\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                <span class=\"sq-toplist__offer-title is-mobile-visible\">\n                    <a href=\"\/en\/go\/dabble?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"Dabble\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"10\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"offer\">BET \u00a35, GET \u00a320 IN FREE BETS + 2 Rocket Odds Boosts On Your 1st Deposit<\/a>                <\/span>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"sq-toplist__buttons\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/go\/dabble?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"Dabble\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"10\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"cta\" class=\"sq-btn sq-btn--secondary sq-btn--full\">Claim Here<\/a>                <div class=\"sq-rating\">\n                    <span class=\"sq-rating__text\">Our Score<\/span>\n                    <span class=\"sq-rating__value\">10<\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/dabble-sign-up-offer\/\" class=\"sq-review-link\">\n                    <span>Read our review<\/span>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t\t        <ul class=\"sq-toplist__features\">\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Fantastic Promotions<\/li>\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Fun Social Media Content<\/li>\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">New Bookmaker<\/li>\n                    <\/ul>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t            <div class=\"sq-toplist__item-tc\"><p><span class=\"TextRun Highlight SCXW10244076 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW10244076 BCX0\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"normaltextrun\" data-ccp-charstyle-defn=\"{&quot;ObjectId&quot;:&quot;ac0262f4-8a9e-5820-b908-2d943c5f7113|1&quot;,&quot;ClassId&quot;:1073872969,&quot;Properties&quot;:[201342446,&quot;1&quot;,201342447,&quot;5&quot;,201342448,&quot;3&quot;,201342449,&quot;1&quot;,469777841,&quot;Aptos&quot;,469777842,&quot;Arial&quot;,469777843,&quot;\u7b49\u7ebf&quot;,469777844,&quot;Aptos&quot;,201341986,&quot;1&quot;,469769226,&quot;Aptos,Arial,\u7b49\u7ebf&quot;,268442635,&quot;24&quot;,469775450,&quot;normaltextrun&quot;,201340122,&quot;1&quot;,134233614,&quot;true&quot;,469778129,&quot;normaltextrun&quot;,335572020,&quot;1&quot;,469778324,&quot;Default Paragraph Font&quot;]}\"><em>New customers only.

teams go into Wrexham vs Cardiff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wrexham are bidding to make it to the EFL Cup quarter finals for the first time since 1977-78 in what is sure to be an electric atmosphere in North Wales on Tuesday. After three consecutive promotions, the Red Dragons are sitting 16th in the Championship on what looks like being a season of consolidation under Phil Parkinson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cardiff, meanwhile, are looking to reach the last eight of the tournament for the first time since 2011-12, when they reached the final and lost to Liverpool. The Bluebirds sit top of the League One table after 13 matches, but lost their unbeaten away record when Bolton beat them on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wrexham-team-news\">Wrexham team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the EFL Cup quarter-finals on the horizon, Phil Parkinson is unlikely to make sweeping changes to his Wrexham lineup. The injury list remains lengthy, with Andy Cannon, Elliot Lee, Jay Rodriguez, Danny Ward, Oliver Rathbone, and Ben Sheaf all still sidelined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defender Callum Doyle is available again after completing a suspension and is expected to return to the starting XI in place of Lewis Brunt, who picked up a knock at the weekend. Meanwhile, Max Cleworth and Dominic Hyam will both be hoping to retain their spots in the back line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cardiff-team-news\">Cardiff team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cardiff City will once again be without goalkeeper Jak Alnwick and winger Ollie Tanner on Tuesday as both continue to recover from injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a place in the EFL Cup quarter-finals at stake, Barry-Murphy is expected to name a strong starting XI. Isaak Davies, Rubin Colwill, and Omari Kellyman are tipped to retain their places despite pressure from Callum Robinson. At the back, Will Fish and Dylan Lawlor should continue their partnership ahead of Nathan Trott between the posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-head-to-head\">Head-to-head<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This will be the first meeting between Wrexham and Cardiff in 23 years. The last time the pair faced off was all the way back in March 2022, when Cardiff came out 3-2 winners with Dabby Gabbidon getting on the scoresheet. Meetings during the 90s were frequent, and Wrexham will be bidding to get their first win since January 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This game could have the feel of a spicy local derby. Big chances may be few and far between, but expect a raucous atmosphere at the Racecourse ground. Wrexham may be favourites, but Cardiff can make it a stiff test for Parkinson&#8217;s side, and a draw looks a strong bet at 9\/4 with most bookmakers.<\/p>\n\n\n    <div class=\"sq-articles-list\">\n
