Bournemouth face a trip to Wrexham at Racecourse Ground on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Cherries will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in August 2003, with Bournemouth inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Dragons in a League Division Two match.
