Huddersfield Town vs Notts County - a clash of two early-season contenders
With 7 points from three matches, Huddersfield Town are sitting pretty in 2nd place in League One 2026/2027, while Notts County are just two points off the pace in 6th after accruing five points from their opening three games. Huddersfield are the clear favourites to take the win at 69/100, with Notts County available at 19/5 and the draw at 27/10.
Martin Drury has his Terriers playing on the front foot, with a compact back four that presses high and employs quick vertical breaks. Ryan Ledson is their orchestrator, delivering two assists in three matches in League One 2026/2027. Joe Taylor is the chief menace, notching three goals in his first three appearances of the season to lead the scoring charts.
Martin Paterson has Notts County set up in a 5-3-2 or a 3-5-2 formation, which allows them to use the width of the pitch effectively with their wing-backs. The Magpies hit on the counter-attack quickly, with Nicholas Tsaroulla giving them real bite in the offensive third this season - he's laid two assists in his three League One 2026/2027 appearances so far. Luka Smyth has been the main finisher for the Magpies, he's scored two goals in three.
Huddersfield should edge out a close game
Huddersfield are the rightful favourites here, but Notts County have the ability to make this game close. Drury's side will look to overload the centre of the field, while Paterson's men will use their width to get the ball wide and counter quickly.
Under 2.5 goals at 19/20 is a lively alternative market if this turns into a cagey, scrappy game, but I'll go with Huddersfield to edge it at John Smith's Stadium, England.
