The Southampton star who could hurt Wrexham, and it’s not Cyle Larin | OneFootball

Southampton visit the Racecourse Stadium on Saturday, and the player who could most trouble Wrexham might be Leo Scienza, not Cyle Larin. According to Sainstmarching.com, the Brazilian’s direct running makes him the danger to watch.

It is their final Championship match of September before an extended international break. After Wrexham, they are not back in the league until 11th October, when Portsmouth come to St Mary's for the South Coast Derby. Fans will also track Kuryu Matsuki, who could win a first Japan cap.

Wrexham have added spice with tongue in cheek social posts referencing Spygate. That could backfire, as Phil Parkinson’s side were thumped by Eckert’s team last season, when Larin scored.

In February, Larin had three from his first nine Championship games and had rarely started up front. Picked as Eckert’s leading striker on a Tuesday night in Wales, he broke clear to net a decisive third past Arthur Okonkwo.

That sparked a purple patch, with four goals in his final six league matches last season. He has opened this campaign with seven from seven. If Wrexham give him room, he could punish them again.

They have just shipped six to West Ham United at the London Stadium, struggling to contain Jarrod Bowen and Taty Castellanos. Southampton carry a similar direct threat, and Scienza could hurt them in that mould.

Operating off the left, he completed three successful dribbles and scored in the 3-1 win over Swansea City. He has four goal contributions from seven league appearances. If afforded space, he could make it an awkward afternoon before the break.
