We said: Blackburn Rovers 3-1 Wrexham

Enforced defensive alterations on both ends should give rise to an exciting affair at Ewood Park, especially given Blackburn's propensity to both score and concede, but Rovers' rearguard woes should not prove too costly on Monday. Wrexham ought to put up a good fight and should come up with the goods in the attacking third on at least one occasion, but a Blackburn side with plenty of recent errors to rectify should prove too strong for the League Two promotion-chasers.
