Wrexham are set to welcome Swindon Town to the Racecourse Ground for Saturday's EFL League Two meeting.
Both teams come into the tie on the back of a win in their previous game. In their first football league game in 15 years was a 5-3 loss to MK Dons, but the Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mcelhenney co-owned outfit are now on a three-game unbeaten run following a 4-2 win over Walsall.
While the Red Dragons also made progress to the second round of the Carabao Cup, Swindon were ousted in the first round of the tournament but are so far unbeaten in the league as they come off a 2-1 win over Forest Green Rovers.
