Wrexham face a trip to Bournemouth at Dean Court on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 20 games played, Red Dragons have recorded 7 wins, and Bournemouth have come away with 9 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2004, with Bournemouth annihilating their visitors 6 - 0 in a League Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Bournemouth may have lost only 1 of their last six home games, but the other 5 have resulted in drawn games. While Cherries have scored 8, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Wrexham's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. The Red Dragons's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.

Bournemouth see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League One, showing a record of 5 points from their 4 games played so far, Wrexham's 7 points from 4 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
