The Fourth Round of the FA Cup concludes this Monday with Blackburn and Wrexham. The two sides are fairing very differently in their respective leagues, making a good Cup run either pivotal for a change in form or a continuation of good form.
Blackburn currently sit 17th in the Championship after 28 games. Rovers have ten wins, three draws and 15 losses, leaving them on 33 points, nine points above the relegation zone and seven points from the top half of the table.
Rovers have historic success in the FA Cup, winning two of the first three Cups of the competition in 1890 and 1891. However, since then Blackburn have only made the Final once in 1960 where Blackburn lost 3 - 0 to Wolves and have made two Semi-finals, in 2005, where they lost 3 - 0 against Arsenal and in 2007, where they lost 2 - 1 in extra time against Chelsea.
Wrexham, on the other hand, currently sit second in League Two. In 27 games, Wrexham have 15 wins, seven draws and five losses which leaves them on 52 points, two points ahead of Mansfield Town and just two points off of top-of-the-league Stockport.
Wrexham have never won the FA Cup and have never made a Final. In fact, the furthest Wrexham have made it in the FA Cup is the Quarter-finals in 1997, where they suffered a 1 - 0 loss to Chesterfield.
Blackburn and Wrexham have met just 16 times in their histories, with the first meeting coming back in 1960. In this fixture, a draw is the most common outcome, with ten draws so far, Wrexham picking up four wins and Blackburn picking up two wins.
The two sides haven’t met since 1982, with the last meeting being a 1 - 0 win for Wrexham in League Two. However, there is a big difference in how each side has played this season. Blackburn have scored 41 goals but have conceded 53 goals, whereas Wrexham have scored 54 goals and have only conceded 37 goals.
