Wrexham face Rotherham United in a League One match on Saturday 19 October.
Phil Parkinson’s men have endured a difficult period ahead of the October international break.
They drew 0-0 with Leyton Orient before suffering a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Stevenage.
This moved Wrexham two points behind League One leaders Birmingham City having played a game more than the Blues.
However, the Welsh team returned to winning ways in their last match before the final break.
James McLean and Ryan Barnett were among the standout performers as Wrexham beat Northampton Town 4-1.
However, this encounter was played at the Racecourse Ground where the Red Dragons are currently unbeaten in the 2024/25 season.
Their away record is less impressive this season, but they are still favorites to beat a Rotherham United side who currently sit in mid-table.

Wrexham have three main injury concerns ahead of their meeting with Rotherham on Saturday afternoon.
Max Cleworth suffered an ankle injury against Leyton Orient, George Evans ‘felt something’ against Stevenage and Luke Bolton is currently sidelined with an issue.
Earlier this week, Parkinson provided an injury update on Cleworth, Evans and Bolton, which is good news for the former trio but Evans has been out for a long time.
He said: “The team looks strong and we need everyone next week.
“Max is making good progress. He’s back on the grass this week but we’ll know more over the next three or four days about how fast that progress is.
“Luke is back in training which is great. He had a problem with his foot but ran a lot last week and has now fully joined the players.
“It’s going to be George for the long haul.”

There could be some changes to Wrexham’s starting line-up this weekend, including Ollie Palmer being named to the bench.
Palmer has previously been rated as ‘brilliant’, and although he recently signed a new deal, his aim has been lacking this season.
As a result, summer signing Modou Vale could finally get his first taste of League One action this weekend.
The striker started in midweek with Wrexham fans naming Vale man of the match against Wolves Under-21s.
The rest of the eleven are likely to look very similar to the one who started the win over Northampton, although Cleworth could replace Skarr at centre-back if he is fit enough.
Here’s how we think Wrexham will line up against Rotherham on Saturday…
