The 2019–20 National League season, also referred to as the Vanarama National League (since falling under new sponsorship) is the 5th season under football‘s recent title of the National League and the 50th season overall. This means that expectations are high and Non-League teams are eager for promotion to League Two.
While there is no certainty in the outcome of any football division – it sure is exciting trying to predict who will be scooted up to the next level. In this article, we will focus on who could potentially make League Two next season.
For punters looking to take part in a spot of sports betting, these are the Non-League teams with the best odds of ascending the pyramid in 2019-20.
To start, we’ll turn our focus onto Yeovil Town and Notts County. These two favourites are itching to reclaim their League Two spots, especially Notts County, with the sports betting community backing them heavily. This team has a huge fanbase that it wants to continue to impress. The popular team also has a large capacity stadium that’s ready flaunt its potential.
Then you have a team like Solihull Moors. This team is a force to be reckoned with and the players are working hard to improve on their 2018-19 position. The coach, Tim Flowers, and captain Kyle Storer have voiced their high hopes and will be pushing their men to go one step further by getting to League Two. Keep a close eye on this Midlands team – they might just have a few good surprises up their sleeves!
Next, we have North Walians Wrexham. These lads are clearly fully energised and willing to build on their progress this coming season. After finishing in fourth place during 2018-19, they’ll be putting a substantial amount of elbow grease in for promotion. Let’s see if manager Bryan Hughes and the young captain Shaun Pearson can get them to where they want to be!
Many fans are also hoping that Fylde makes a comeback. After missing out on promotion during the 2018-19 league (finishing in 5th place), we’re certain that they will be putting every effort in to secure a 2019-20 promotion with League 2 as their goal (no pun intended). This is a reality with manager Dave Challinor on the team’s side.
Last but not least, there are four other teams you’ll want to keep a good eye on this season. Torquay United, Woking, Stockport County and Chorley all stand a chance at solidifying their National league status. If these teams recruit smartly and fill in the correct positions, they could still potentially surprise us all!
To summarise, you’ll want to keep a close watch on the following teams:
- Yeovil Town
- Notts County
- Solihull Moors
- North Walians Wrexham
- Torquay United
- Woking
- Stockport County
- Chorley
While the above are only predictions, the teams have strengthened in the past few months and with their determination, they stand an excellent chance of promotion.
