Match Preview: Wrexham (A)

Wrexam Match Preview image

Exeter City hit the road for the first time since the end of October as they make the trip to Wrexham for the first time since 2002.

Wrexham have been the global football story over the last few years since the ownership by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, and have risen up the leagues with two successive promotions from the National League to League One.

As expected they are performing well in tier three and sit in third place, four points behind league leaders Wycombe. Like City, they were in action last weekend during the international break, losing 1-0 at Stockport County, just a couple of hours after the Grecians were held to a goalless draw by Lincoln. 

Gary Caldwell's Thoughts

Caldwell expects a difficult game against a Wrexham side whose story has been sell documented since their dramatic rise from non-league, and we are unbeaten in 14 home matches at the Racecourse Ground. 

"It's been an incredible story for them and they have told it really well. But we have to be prepared to go and win in front of our 1,200 supporters, in an atmosphere that will be intense, so we have to be bang at it on Saturday."
