Why We’re Backing Draw @ 14/5 with BetMGM
- Will Still has yet to sign a single player since joining Southampton and his side are unlikely to be fully developed yet.
- Wrexham scored freely in League One last season and have added more firepower to their frontline this summer.
- Saints’ possession-heavy game is likely to be neutralised by Wrexham’s compact, counter-attacking setup.

Why We’re Backing Kieffer Moore Anytime Goalscorer @ 7/2 with Paddy Power
- A major threat from crosses, corners, and set-pieces.
- Moore has a proven track record in the Championship, scoring 59 career goals in England’s second tier.
- When given service, he’s efficient in front of goal, especially in tight, scrappy matches like opening day fixtures.
- Set-pieces could play a decisive role at St Mary’s considering how open play hasn’t settled on the first day of the season.

Southampton Form/Stats
- Have yet to record a clean sheet in four pre-season matches under Will Still’s tenure.
- Saints have gone three matches without a win.
Wrexham Form/Stats
- The Red Dragons have lost three consecutive friendly matches.
- Scored at least once in seven of their last eight games.
Player to Watch
Tempo-setter Flynn Downes thrives as a deep-lying playmaker or box-to-box engine, and he’s likely to stand out in whichever role Will Still deploys him in.
The 26 year old was outstanding during his loan at Southampton in the 2023/24 Championship season, providing calm under pressure and positional discipline.
Downes is the perfect shield and springboard for Still’s team, breaking up the play superbly well and transitioning quickly into attack – two qualities which could prove instrumental for Saints when facing Wrexham.
Southampton vs Wrexham Head-to-Head Record
These two clubs last faced one another back in September 1979, when the Saints ran out as 3-0 winners in a League Cup tie.
This occasion was only the seventh meeting between Southampton and Wrexham, with the fixture never ending in a stalemate (3 wins for Wrexham and 4 victories for Southampton).
