Middlesbrough vs Wrexham: free stream

Boro will be nursing wounds from last year's playoffs, where they lost twice – in the semi-finals and then again in the final after earning a second chance due to the Spygate scandal.

Unfortunately, they haven't been at their best in pre-season, with three draws and one defeat, including a 3-3 draw against Espanyol in their most recent outing. However, with the additions of strikers Will Lancaster and Kyle Joseph, they'll be looking for a better start this time around after being knocked out in the first round in three of the past five seasons.

Phil Parkinson's Wrexham, meanwhile, have had a better pre-season, with wins over Manchester United and Leeds United, alongside narrow 1-0 defeats to Liverpool and Sunderland. They've also strengthened their squad with the additions of midfielder Ben Wightman and Danny Imray, and will be eyeing promotion as well as a strong cup run in the Carabao Cup.
