Match preview: Southampton vs Wrexham

Southampton and Wrexham play at St. Mary’s Stadium in this first round duel of the Championship. According to our data, there have been no recent encounters between these two teams. The home advantage could be significant here, as Wrexham has notable differences in their home and away performances.

Team analysis: Southampton

The home team is making their debut in this season after finishing last season in 20th place, narrowly avoiding relegation. Southampton’s struggles are evident; they have managed only 1 victory along with 3 draws and 11 losses in their last 30 away games. At home, their record is equally disappointing, mirroring the same figures. Most recently, they drew with Brighton & Hove Albion in a friendly match (2-2). In their past 10 home matches, Southampton has drawn 3 times and lost 7. The team’s defence has been breached in 9 of those 10 games, indicating a need for significant improvement. Goals have been prevalent in their matches, with 17 out of 25 featuring more than 2.5 goals. Furthermore, Southampton tends to concede the first goal, having never overturned the scoreline in the 11 matches where they did so.
Southampton arrives at this match following a 2-2 draw against Brighton during a friendly, with goals from Jay Robinson and Adam Armstrong. Manager Will Still is expected to employ his usual 4-3-3 formation, featuring Ryan Fraser, Adam Armstrong, and Tyler Dibling in a potent front line. Right-back Yukinari Sugawara will play a crucial role in transitions, frequently pushing forward on the right flank. All players are available for selection for this fixture.

Team analysis: Wrexham

The visiting team is commencing their campaign after finishing last season in 2nd place and achieving promotion. Interestingly, Wrexham has proven to be more effective away from home; from their last 30 matches, they have achieved 10 victories, 2 draws, and 3 losses on their travels, contrasting with 8 wins, 5 draws, and 2 losses at home. Their most recent friendly resulted in a 1-0 defeat to Wellington Phoenix. Over the last 10 away games, Wrexham has secured 5 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses, consistently finding the back of the net in 8 of those matches.
Wrexham heads into this fixture following a 1-0 loss against the Wellington Phoenix. Phil Parkinson is likely to adopt a 3-5-2 formation, favouring quick and well-coordinated counter-attacks. The forward line, featuring Ryan Hardie and Sam Smith, looks capable of causing problems for defence, while right-winger Ryan Longman’s speed, technique, and vision further enhance their offensive threat. All players are available for this match.
