Watch Middlesbrough vs Wrexham live streams as the new domestic season kicks off with a mouthwatering Carabao Cup clash. Both sides are aiming to earn promotion to the top flight this season and will be keen to secure a statement win before their Championship campaigns get underway.
It was a strange end to last season for Middlesbrough as they suffered play-off disappointment twice. First beaten by Southampton in the semi-finals, they were reinstated to the final due to the Spygate scandal, only to lose 1-0 to Hull City at Wembley.
Despite that tough end to the campaign, there are high hopes for this season, especially after the addition of strikers Will Lankshear and Kyle Joseph, who both impressed in the club’s recent pre-season 3-3 draw with Espanyol.
Wrexham are also seen as promotion candidates after an excellent first season in the Championship that saw them finish in seventh. Phil Parkinson’s side have put in some eye-catching performances over the summer, defeating Manchester United and Leeds, and will be hoping to go deep in the competition after falling in the fourth round last year.
