Rushden & D. prepare to entertain Wrexham at Nene Park on Tuesday evening, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Half of the previous meetings have ended in defeat for Diamonds.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Nene Park was just last season, in August 2008, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a (Conference) Premier match.
