The Racecourse will be rocking as Wrexham return to the Football League

WREXHAM AFC: We’re tipping Reds to open campaign with win

WE’VE all waited a long time for this.

But 15 years on, Wrexham are back in the Football League and there’s no place they’d rather be than kicking off at The Racecourse.

Phil Parkinson’s side were unbeatable at home last season and no wonder they are 3/5 to start their League Two campaign with a victory over MK Dons.

It will be the first chance to see Wrexham for most fans with all the club’s friendlies taking place on a two-week tour of America.

And even without the mighty Mullin up front, the Reds should have enough to down The Dons.

PREDICTIONS:

WREXHAM 2 MK DONS 0 NICK HARRISON

WREXHAM 2 MK DONS 1 RICHARD WILLIAMS

WREXHAM 1 MK DONS 0 SHAUN DAVIES
