Cardiff kick off life back in the Championship as they lock horns with Wrexham in the Welsh capital in what should be an interesting game.

The Bluebirds finished 2nd in League One with 91 points last season and are fancied to survive this season. They've done some good business in the transfer market and have retained their squad from last season.

How far they can go is difficult to project, but a top half finish is not off the cards, even if it would be a surprise.

Wrexham, meanwhile, are looking to land a play-off berth at a minimum after missing out on the post-season fun on the last day of the campaign last season.

Wrexham have once again invested heavily in their squad, though their funds have been concentrated into a small number of names rather than spread across a host of new faces.

Play-offs are the minimum expectation for them this time, and many will back them to do it.

Oliver Rathbone To Score Anytime

Oliver Rathbone had the second-best scoring rate of any Wrexham player in the league last season, averaging an impressive 0.55 goals per 90.

Alex Robertson To Be Carded

Rubin Colwill To Have 1+ Shots On Target

Rubin Colwill will be looking to take the league by storm this season after a strong campaign last season. The attacking midfielder was a constant attacking threat, averaging over one shot on target per 90.
