Birmingham City forward Stansfield failed to capitalise on a gilt-edged opportunity to extend his side's advantage during Friday's Championship clash at Wrexham.

Wrexham hosted Birmingham City in a Sky Bet Championship encounter on 28 August, with Stansfield leading the Birmingham attack. The striker found himself in a promising position to double the visitors' lead but could not make the most of the chance, according to Sky Sports' live coverage.

The miss represents a moment that could prove significant in the outcome of the fixture. Birmingham would have been looking to build on an early advantage, and a second goal at that stage would have put substantial pressure on the home side.

Wrexham have shown resilience this season, but Birmingham's ability to take such opportunities will be crucial to their push up the Championship table. For visiting sides, converting chances on the road is often the difference between three points and a draw.

Betting angle

Backing the away side when they spurn clear-cut opportunities is risky; clinical teams typically punish defensive lapses more reliably than wasteful ones.
