The match statistics show Wrexham as the dominant force so far, with 134 total shots this season, compared to Exeter City's 103, and their defensive solidity is also clear as they’ve only conceded 11 goals, which is among the best in League One. With Wrexham at second in the league and Exeter City down in 11th place, it’s been clear that the hosts have had the upper hand today. Notably, Wrexham has been outstanding at home this season, earning 19 points from their opening seven home games, their best start since the 1969-70 season.
Exeter City, managed by Gary Caldwell, has struggled to break through Wrexham's defense, despite some good chances and possession. The visitors have been kept under pressure, unable to capitalize on their own opportunities. While their passing accuracy of 77.91% surpasses Wrexham’s 70.41%, they have yet to find the cutting edge needed to get past Wrexham’s solid backline.
With both teams having a few yellow cards and stoppages throughout the first half, it’s clear that the tension is building. Caleb Watts of Exeter was booked at the 40-minute mark for a rough challenge, and the match had a few moments of delay as both sides reset and strategized. As the second half approaches, Exeter City will need to mount a serious comeback to challenge Wrexham's lead, but the hosts look confident in their pursuit of three valuable points.
Wrexham's impressive home form is proving critical in their quest for promotion, and if they continue playing at this level, their ascent to higher divisions seems more than achievable this season.
