Wrexham, currently occupying a playoff spot in sixth, prepare to host promotion hopefuls Southampton, who sit just outside the top six in seventh, in a crucial Championship clash. This highly anticipated fixture kicks off at 8:00 PM BST on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, at The Racecourse Ground.
Wrexham vs Southampton Form
The Red Dragons come into this game on the back of a hard-fought 2-2 draw away to West Bromwich Albion in their last Championship outing. This result saw them battle back from a two-goal deficit to snatch a point. Over their last six league matches, Wrexham's form has been somewhat inconsistent, recording three wins, one draw, and two losses. A notable statistic for the Welsh side is that there have been over 2.5 goals scored in their last three Championship games, indicating a trend towards high-scoring encounters.
Southampton, meanwhile, suffered a 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in the FA Cup in their most recent match. However, their league form tells a far more impressive story. The Saints are undefeated in their last 12 Championship matches, a run that has seen them climb to the top of the league's form table over the last six games. This dominant run includes four wins and two draws in their last six Championship fixtures, showcasing their consistency and ambition for promotion.
Wrexham vs Southampton Head to Head
These two sides have met only once previously in the Championship. That encounter took place earlier this season, on August 9, 2025, where Southampton emerged victorious with a 2-1 home win over Wrexham. Given this limited history, there is no extensive head-to-head record to draw upon, making this upcoming fixture a relatively fresh rivalry.

Wrexham face several injury concerns ahead of this pivotal match. The home side will be without the services of O'Connor, Cacace, James, and Sheaf, all sidelined with injuries. However, there's positive news for the Red Dragons as striker Moore and midfielder Rathbone could both make their return to the starting XI, providing a much-needed boost to their attacking and midfield options.
Southampton also have a few absentees, with Roerslev, Welington, and McCarthy all unavailable for selection. On the brighter side, central midfielder Downes and attacking midfielder Matsuki are set to return to the squad after serving suspensions in the recent FA Cup fixture. Upfront, Larin is tipped to lead the line, potentially replacing Ross Stewart.

- There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Wrexham's last 3 games in Championship.
- Southampton are undefeated in their last 12 matches in Championship.
Prediction: Wrexham 1-2 Southampton
This match pits a resolute Wrexham side against a Southampton team in scintillating league form. While Wrexham demonstrated their ability to fight back in their last outing, their defensive weaknesses, particularly against counter-attacks and skillful players, could be exploited by the visitors. Southampton's strengths lie in their potent attack, capable of creating chances through individual skill and accurate through balls, as well as their excellent finishing. Despite Wrexham's prowess in aerial duels, a factor predicted to see them dominate in the air, Southampton's overall quality and current league momentum are likely to shine through. The Saints are also adept at coming back from losing positions, adding another layer of resilience. Expect a closely contested affair, but Southampton's attacking firepower and strong league run should see them edge out the hosts.
Best Bet: Over 2.5 Goals Check out the best odds on Caesars Sportsbook
Given that Wrexham's last three Championship games have all featured over 2.5 goals, and Southampton possess a strong attacking unit, this looks like a promising betting angle. The visitors are predicted to score at least two goals, and Wrexham's ability to attack down the wings and create chances suggests they are more than capable of contributing to the scoreline, even against a strong Southampton defence.
