Wrexham A.F.C. is set to host Wycombe Wanderers at the Racecourse Ground in the opening of their League One campaign on Saturday evening. Fresh off their promotion from the National League, Wrexham faces a stern test against a seasoned League One side.

The Red Dragons, bolstered by significant financial investments, have captured global attention with their ambition, but adapting to the challenges of League One will be no small feat for Phil Parkinson’s men. Wycombe, having finished 10th in the league last season and reaching the EFL Trophy final, enter the match with a solid foundation under the leadership of Matt Bloomfield.
