Wrexham Vs Southampton Preview
Having secured a vital point at the Hawthorns on Good Friday, Wrexham face arguably their most important game of the season on Tuesday night. Josh Windass and George Dobson scored to earn a share of the spoils after West Brom went 2-0 up in the first-half.
The 2-2 draw means the Red Dragons are one place and point above Southampton. However, the Saints have a game in-hand and are currently 11/4 in the Championship outright betting market to clinch promotion come May. Phil Parkinson’s side can be backed at 12/1.
After their stunning win over Arsenal in the FA Cup quarter-final on Saturday night, Tonda Eckert’s side will be brimming with confidence. Although the Wrexham vs Southampton odds favour the home side, just, the Hampshire club are undefeated in 15 games across all competitions.
In the reverse fixture on MD1, injury time goals from Ryan Manning and Jack Stephens earned a famous 2-1 victory. Punters will be well aware that Championship betting on such an intriguing clash will likely throw out all sorts of outcomes – especially as there is so much to play for.
