Southampton vs Wrexham Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 9th August 2025

Wrexham face a daunting first assignment in the Championship when they visit the title favourites Southampton on the opening day of the new campaign.

Since both Southampton and Wrexham are looking to start their season on a good note, we are in for a tough fight over their first points of the season on Saturday.

The Saints only average a modest 1.5 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored 15 goals. They also conceded 13 for an average of 1.3 per game. They kept their opponents from scoring three times.

Having never played each other in the Championship in the 21st century, this is the first time Southampton comes up against Wrexham in this tournament as of late. Thus, any eventual h2h stats stems from meetings in cup matches or friendlies.

Southampton vs Wrexham Prediction

Southampton Form

A draw was the best Southampton could muster in their previous three games. They claimed a 0-0 draw against Manchester City, before getting trounced 2-0 against Everton. Last time out, more disappointment followed as Arsenal ran out 1-2 winners. Southampton won four of their last six Championship matches on home soil, while drawing once and losing once. They conceded six and scored 12 goals.

Wrexham Form

In their last three matches, Wrexham first beat Blackpool 1-2, then Charlton by 3-0 and finally Lincoln City by 0-2.

Southampton need the support of their home crowd at St. Mary's Stadium after suffering defeat twice in recent matches. We fancy them to rise to the occasion and claim a win.
