Notts Co. - Burton

Notts County head into this matchday 3 fixture seeking their first victory of the League One campaign following a pair of hard-fought draws. They opened their season with a 1-1 stalemate against Leicester City before securing a 2-2 result away to Luton Town last week. Burton Albion arrive at Meadow Lane with momentum after a significant 2-1 victory over Leicester City on 22 August. This win provided a timely boost for the visitors, who had previously shared the points in a 1-1 draw with Stevenage during their second league outing of the month.

The two sides last crossed paths in the EFL Trophy Southern Group F on 24 September 2024, where Notts County claimed a 2-1 win. As they renew their rivalry in the third tier, Notts County will aim to leverage home advantage to turn their recent string of draws into a positive result. Burton Albion look to build upon their latest success, leaving the question of which side can assert control in this early-season clash.
