Midfielder Merrie was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.32 (out of ten) in that game. Merrie dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 31 successful passes (of 36 total).

Wrexham form and stats

Things could have gone better for Wrexham in their League Two away matches, but 2 points from 2 games is all right.

Wrexham delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Bradford City in their previous game; a Carabao Cup duel. Midfield player Young was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.33/10. Young served one assist, hit six key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 45 successful passes (of 51 total).

Ahead of that match was the League Two away draw versus Barrow that ended 1-1.

Both teams to score? This club's most recent fixtures suggest that, having completed 5 league matches in a row with one or more goals from each side.

A quick return to home after this game, as Wrexham are hosting Newcastle United U21 in the EFL Trophy only three days away.

Wrexham have the goal stats of 2-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
