AFC Wimbledon and Wrexham will face off in a League Two match on Saturday. The match will be played at the Cherry Red Records Stadium in London, England.
Neither team was able to get off to a winning start in their League Two campaign. The hosts were held to a goalless draw in their season opener by Grimsby Town whereas Wrexham were handed a reality check by MK Dons in their first game back in League Two.
Wrexham, co-owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, will be looking to make an impression in their first season back in League Two after winning promotion from the National League last season.
