Match preview

National League promotion contenders Wrexham have netted 62 goals in 24 fifth-tier matches this season and they can show off their attacking prowess in Saturday's cup trip to Championship strugglers Coventry.

Thanks to their Hollywood ownership, Wrexham are the big spenders of the National League and their first-choice strike partnership of Ollie Palmer and Paul Mullin are capable of playing one and possibly two leagues higher.

Mullin is second in the fifth-tier scoring charts with 17 goals and poses a credible threat to a Coventry defence weakened by the absence of injured linchpin Kyle McFadzean.

Attack could be the best form of defence for the Sky Blues and they will be looking to their talisman, Viktor Gyokeres, to do the damage.

Gyokeres is a tempting 7-5 shot to add to his tally of 12 goals this season, but the slight preference is to back both teams to score at a shade of odds-on.

Key stat

Both teams have scored in four of Wrexham's last five FA Cup ties.
