Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Following a routine 3-0 win over Newport County, Notts County will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on fellow promotion-chasing Wrexham on Saturday afternoon. David McGoldrick and Co. have been scoring goals for fun in the first half of the season and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. The opposition back-line should have Macaulay Langstaff at bay as the 26-year-old forward scored a brace against the Exiles.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Sutton and given their attacking potential, we are tempted to put our money on over 2.5 goals. Matt Gray is likely to stick to the 4-4-2 formation. In their last meeting in a competitive match Wrexham defeated Notts County 3-2, but the hosts are closer to picking up all three points from Saturday’s showdown.
