The stakes
Last season Wrexham missed out on promotion after losing a heartbreaker in extra time to Grimsby Town during the promotion playoffs semifinal. This time around the Red Dragons can skip the playoffs all together by finishing first in the league and earn the automatic promotion spot.
With two games left to play in the fifth tier National League, Notts County is the only team that could catch Wrexham for first in the league. Four points separates the two clubs and Notts County leads the goal difference tie breaker by one goal.
Notts County will play three hours before Wrexham do on Saturday against bottom of the table Maidstone United. The result of that game will influence what Wrexham needs to get promoted. Here are the scenarios that would clinch promotion for Wrexham on Saturday.
Scenarios for Wrexham promotion
Notts County win + Wrexham win
Notts County draw + Wrexham win/draw
Notts County loss
It would certainly be anti-climactic if Notts County lose, and Wrexham automatically earn promotion before they even kick a ball.
Wrexham’s opponent on Saturday, Boreham Wood, sit sixth in the table and need to finish in the top seven to earn a spot in the playoffs. A win vs. Wrexham would clinch a playoff spot for Boreham Wood.
