Wrexham vs Notts County Prediction: Both teams aiming for promotion

Wrexham will welcome Notts County at Racecourse Ground, Wrexham in Game Week 34 of the English League Two. Both teams are aiming for promotion into the English League One. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Wrexham broke their four-game losing streak in all competitions with a 2-1 victory over Sutton United in an away match on Tuesday. The winning goal was scored by Elliot Lee, their top scorer, in the 85th minute. This win has propelled Wrexham to fourth place in the League Two table, taking advantage of Barrow's surprising defeat and Stockport County's loss. They are now six points away from the top spot and have a game in hand over the teams above them.

Wrexham has a strong home record, winning 11 out of 15 league matches at the Racecourse Ground, accumulating the most points at home in League Two this season. They will look forward to their upcoming match against Notts County, a team they have beaten in their last two meetings, including a victory in October last year.

Wrexham defender Tom O'Connor is making good progress in recovering from a fractured foot, but he is not expected to return in the upcoming weekend. As a result, the defensive trio of Boyle, Eoghan O'Connell, and Max Cleworth is likely to remain unchanged. Striker Paul Mullin was not fully fit and only featured as a substitute during the last match. However, he should be ready to start against Notts County. Manager Parkinson may choose to stick with Jack Marriott and Steven Fletcher upfront, although there is competition from Ollie Palmer. It is unclear whether James Jones will be fit to play after missing the previous game. In the midfield, Lee, George Evans, and Andy Cannon could be chosen to play. 

Wrexham Predicted Lineup

Okonkwo; Cleworth, O'Connell, Boyle; Bolton, Cannon, Evans, Lee, McClean; Mullin, Fletcher

Notts County form

Notts County also ended their run of poor form with a 3-1 away victory over Newport County on Tuesday. Macauley Langstaff, the top scorer in League Two, scored two goals in the match. This win has placed them in seventh position in the league standings.

Notts County's next two matches against Wrexham and Crewe are crucial as they aim to climb back into the playoffs and close the 10-point gap to the automatic promotion spots. However, they have struggled in away matches recently, winning only one out of their last nine. Additionally, they have not won any of their last four visits to Wrexham.

Notts County are still without Matt Palmer, Geraldo Bajrami, and Cedwyn Scott due to long-term injuries. However, Lewis Macari recovered from injury and made an appearance in the last game. He will be hoping to retain his position as the right-back in the starting lineup. Goalkeeper Luca Ashby-Hammond, on loan from Fulham, is expected to continue in goal after making his debut. Aaron Nemane, Jim O'Brien, and Sam Austin will also be vying for a starting spot after being substitutes in the previous match.

Notts County Predicted Lineup

Ashby-Hammond; Macari, Baldwin, Warner, Cameron; Bostock, Robertson; Crowley, Langstaff, Jones; McGoldrick
