Wrexham are gearing up for a cup night under the lights as they welcome Hull City to the SToK Cae Ras for their opening-round clash in the 2025-26 EFL Cup.
The Dragons will have the home crowd roaring behind them and will be eager to turn that into a real advantage. Their last outing, however, didn’t go to plan — a late defensive collapse against Southampton in the EFL Championship saw them cough up two goals in the dying minutes and walk away empty-handed.
That bitter taste of defeat is something they’ll be desperate to avoid this time around.
Hull City, meanwhile, arrive fresh off a stalemate with Coventry City in league play. The Tigers weren’t exactly purring in that performance, but they know the Carabao Cup can be a different kind of hunt. With knockout football offering no second chances, they’ll be looking to sharpen their claws and pounce early, hoping a win can keep their cup dreams alive.
