Cardiff Vs Wrexham Preview
Under the guidance of Brian Barry-Murphy, Cardiff will be hoping to rustle a few feathers on their return to the EFL Championship. The Bluebirds have recruited well in the off-season and will be quietly confident of avoiding a relegation scrap.
Last week, a brace from Yousef Salech and a debut goal from Jack Moylan helped clinch a 3-2 EFL Cup 1st round win against Swindon. Prior to that, the Welsh outfit thrashed Serie A giants Roma 4-1 in their final pre-season friendly.
As for Ryan Reynolds’ side, they are hoping to defy the Championship promotion odds and clinch their place in the promised land come May. However, Monday’s matchup will be a true test of what to expect from the Red Dragons as the campaign progresses.
