"This might not be a local derby but the 'north vs south' rivalry still burns intensely. Wrexham is credited as being the birthplace of Welsh football, though the sport is now officially run from the capital down south in Cardiff. There is no love lost between the two sides, even though this is their first competitive meeting since 2004. Up until recently, Cardiff have been the greater force in modern times, even gracing the Premier League,"
