The National League title race has been one of the most exciting in recent memory, with Wrexham and Notts County both vying for the top spot. The two teams have scored over 100 goals each and have amassed 100 points, making it an incredibly close race. However, Wrexham’s 3-1 defeat to Halifax on Good Friday saw them drop to second place on goal difference.
The stakes are high in this match, as only one team will be automatically promoted to League Two. Both Wrexham and Notts County are 25 points clear of third place, highlighting just how dominant they have been this season.
The match is set to take place on Easter Monday at the Racecourse Ground, with kick-off scheduled for 3pm. BT Sport 1 and BT Sport Ultimate will be broadcasting the match, with coverage starting at 2:30pm. Fans can also stream the match through the BT Sport App.
Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds has spoken about the club’s commitment to making a positive difference in the community. He said, “We remain committed to playing a full part in the life of the club and making a positive difference, in every way, for the benefit of everyone in this wonderful place we have taken to our hearts.”
Both teams have two top scorers who have scored a combined 75 goals this season. Paul Mullin has scored 34 goals for Wrexham, while Macaulay Langstaff has been dubbed the ‘non-league Erling Haaland’ for his impressive performance this season. Langstaff has scored 41 National League goals this season, setting a new record.
Wrexham has no injury concerns ahead of the match, with Phil Parkinson’s only decision being whether to start Sam Dalby or Ollie Palmer alongside Mullin. County left Ruben Rodrigues out of their matchday squad for their game against Wealdstone, suggesting that he has been rested. Sam Slocombe was also rested on Friday, while Aden Baldwin returned from injury in their 3-0 win.
It’s a shame that only one team can be promoted automatically, but this rule has made the title race even more exciting. Fans will be eagerly anticipating the match on Easter Monday, which could see either Wrexham or Notts County become favourites for the title.
