It is a top of the table clash in the National League as Wrexham host Notts County in a Monday night clash. Locked on 100 points, a closely fought contest is expected here but given Wrexham's impressive record at the Racecourse Ground, a home win could be on the cards.
Having led the National League for a long time, Wrexham were finally overtaken at the top following a 3-1 defeat to Halifax Town in their previous fixture. Elliott Lee put them in front midway through the first half but capitulated after the break.
Wrexham have now dropped to second in the standings, although they are level on 100 points with new leaders Notts County while also having a game in hand. With only the league winners gaining promotion, the team owned by Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds will be keen to make a swift return to winning ways and reclaim their spot at the top.
The good news for Wrexham as they seek a swift return to winning ways is that they are unbeaten at the Racecourse Ground this season. They are currently on a six-match winning run at home and claimed a 5-1 victory over Oldham Athletic in their previous home fixture.
Notts County travel to the Racecourse Ground off the back of a 3-0 victory over Wealdstone in their previous National League fixture. Samuel Austin set them on their way with an early effort while Macaulay Langstaff and Francis Vincent added further goals after the break.
That result along with Wrexham’s defeat at Halifax Town means Notts County have now climbed to the top of the standings, although the Welsh side do have a game in hand. Luke Williams’ men have lost just once in their last 10 matches, claiming seven wins in that run.
While Notts County are undoubtedly having a fine campaign, they have been slightly unconvincing on their recent travels. They have claimed just one win in their last three away matches, although that victory came in their previous fixture on the road as they triumphed 2-0 at Altrincham.
