Recent respective form guides

Southport's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Sandgrounders have scored 9, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Wrexham's away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 8 goals for the Dragons, and 6 goals against.

Southport are stuck down in the relegation zone of Blue Square (Conference) Premier with a return of just 18 points from their 20 games thus far. Wrexham lie just outside the playoff positions in the Blue Square (Conference) Premier, picking up 33 from their 21 games so far.
