Notts County

Notts County was founded in 1862 and is the oldest professional football club in the world. Still, taking into account the recent past, it has not even appeared in the Championship for a long time. Speaking about the previous season, the team scored 107 points in the National League (the fifth division of the country), which allowed it to be promoted.

Notts County currently plays in the League Two. It started the new season successfully and is now considered one of the main favourites to qualify for the League One. Notts County leads the League Two table after 12 matches.

Derby

Derby played in the Championship and fought for promotion to the Premier League two years ago, but the team collapsed into the League One at the end of the season of 2021/2022. It was not possible to get back on the very first try – the club stopped one step away from the play-off zone. Undoubtedly, Derby will do its best to achieve the promotion this season.
