Two teams looking to maintain their unbeaten start to the season clash in the English National League as Wrexham host Notts County at the Racecourse Ground. An open and exciting contest is expected with goals at both ends and the spoils shared at full time.
Wrexham are coming off their first win of the new campaign as they knocked off Eastleigh 2-0 in their previous fixture. A superb first half saw Jake Hyde score twice.
The win over Eastleigh will be a confidence boost for Wrexham having begun their campaign with a 1-1 draw at Solihull Moors. With four points from a possible six, the Red Dragons will consider this a good start as they look to go one better than last season, when they narrowly missed out on a playoff finish.
While the win over Eastleigh will be pleasing to manager Phil Parkinson, Wrexham’s defending is likely to be a source of worry. They already conceded twice against Solihull Moors and despite keeping a clean sheet last time out, they gave away a few chances that could be punished by better opposition.
Notts County dropped points for the first time this season after playing out a 1-1 draw against Torquay last time out. Despite having the numerical advantage for a large portion of the contest, they failed to seal the win and needed a second half effort from Kyle Wootton to earn a point.
Manager Ian Burchnall is also targeting a playoff finish this season after watching his team fall just short last term. Although they remain unbeaten after two matches this season, the draw against Torquay came after they began their campaign with an impressive 5-0 victory at Barnet.
One concern for the manager will be Notts County's defending as they conceded first against Torquay despite having the numerical advantage. However, with six goals scored in two matches, they will be confident of causing problems to the Wrexham backline.
