Despite racking up points last term, Notts County ultimately fell short of Saturday’s opponents, ensuring that they had to secure promotion via the National League playoffs.
Following a four-year stint in the fifth tier, the Magpies have enjoyed a seamless return to the EFL, having picked up 30 points from their 15 matches.
In their most recent outing, Notts County cruised to a 3-0 home win over Newport County thanks to Dan Crowley’s opener and a Macaulay Langstaff brace.
Impressively, Luke Williams‘s side have now won seven of their eight home league matches, scoring at least two goals in each of those victories.
Notts County, who boast the best home record in the fourth tier, will be confident about their chances of claiming three more points on Saturday after winning their last three home meetings with Wrexham.
Like their hosts, Wrexham are also targeting back-to-back promotions, having collected 27 points from their 15 matches, leaving them one point clear of fourth-placed Mansfield Town, who have played a game fewer.
Wrexham have put together a seven-game unbeaten run in all competitions since suffering a heavy 5-0 away defeat to current league leaders Stockport County on September 23.

Phil Parkinson’s side have also won four of their last five competitive matches after they left it late to claim a narrow win over Sutton United on Saturday.
The contest looked to be heading towards a draw when Sutton’s Aiden O’Brien cancelled out Paul Mullins’s opener, but the Red Dragons snatched all three points thanks to Elliott Lee’s 89th-minute winner.
Wrexham have now scored 11 league goals in the final 15 minutes – more than any other side in the division – and that dogged determination could prove valuable in Saturday’s top-of-the-table clash
