League Two-promoted side Notts County face Championship-relegated Leicester City in their opening League One fixture on Saturday. The Magpies struggled in pre-season against stronger opponents and are likely to find it difficult against a more experienced Leicester City, who are unbeaten in nine of their last 10 matches since last season.
Notts County appear set for what is likely to be a tough League One campaign after securing promotion back to the English third tier for the first time since 2015. They went winless in their final four friendlies (L3, D1) after opening pre-season with a win over Alfreton.
Moreover, the Martin Paterson-led team crashed out in the first round of the 2026-27 Carabao Cup, losing 4–3 via penalties to Burnley after a 1–1 draw. They failed to win three of their final four home league matches last season.
Despite an underwhelming Championship campaign that ended in relegation to the third tier, Leicester City rounded off last season on a strong note, going unbeaten in their final three matches. They also impressed in the pre-season, winning four of their last six outings (D1, L1).
Interestingly, the Foxes have already laid down a marker for what could be a strong start to the campaign after edging out Northampton 1–0 in the 2026-27 Carabao Cup Round One on Saturday.
