Southampton v Wrexham prediction

Two divisions separated these sides only three months ago but Saturday lunchtime sees Southampton and Wrexham in a league fixture for the first time since the 1959-60 season.

Southampton head into their season opener on Saturday as odds on favourites for victory as they look to start their promotion chase with victory in their bid to return back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.

The lunchtime clash on Sky Sports will also be new manager Will Still’s first game in charge of the club, who had a disastrous season last time out, finishing rock bottom of the Premier League table with just 12 points to their name.

The Saints start the current campaign as the second favourites to win the Championship title, and will be eager to kick their new campaign off with a winning start against a newly promoted Wrexham side.

Plenty of eyes will be on Wrexham this season following their run of three consecutive promotions up from the National League, which leaves Saturday’s bout on the Hampshire coast their first game in the second tier in 43 years.

The club’s Hollywood owners of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have brought much international attention to the Welsh side, and this weekend’s clash against pre-season promotion contenders will be intriguing for all to see how the side match up against strong second tier opposition having dominated all their divisions in each of the last three seasons.

Phil Parkinson’s side have been on pre-season tour in the Antipodes in the off-season, winning their opening fixture against Melbourne Victory before losing against Sydney and Wellington Phoenix before also falling to defeat against Groningen in their final pre-season friendly in the Netherlands last weekend.

The Welsh side have been busy in the transfer market this summer, both in terms of incomings and outgoings, with seven new faces in the squad having splashed around £10m this window, while 12 players have left and the squad is still looking rather bloated.

Saturday’s meeting will be the first one between the two sides in a competitive fixture since an 8-0 aggregate win for the Saints in a League Cup second round clash back in 1979.

The Saints are strong favourites for victory in Saturday lunchtime’s televised game in their first game back win the second tier under new management, while Wrexham’s progress in recent years is expected to halt with a mid-table finish being tipped. A 3-1 Southampton victory seems most plausible.
