Wrexham loses 3-1 at Coventry to dent bid for promotion to the Premier League

Wrexham’s unlikely bid to reach the Premier League has been dented by a 3-1 loss at Coventry in the second-tier Championship.

It leaves the Welsh club with Hollywood owners likely needing a final-round win next weekend to get into the playoffs.

Wrexham stayed in sixth place, which is the final playoff spot.

It is only above seventh-place Hull courtesy of a superior goal difference of 1.

A point and a place further back is Derby, which completes the trio of teams vying for the final berth in the end-of-season playoffs.

The last round of games takes place next Saturday and Wrexham has the toughest assignment at home to Middlesbrough.
