The last match between the two sides was a dramatic National League play-off game which Grimsby Town won in extra time in May 2022. Grimsby would go on to win the final and get promoted, while Notts County would go on to get promoted themselves a season later.

The last Football League meeting between Notts County and Grimsby Town was a 2-1 win for County back in April 2019. The Magpies would go on to get relegated after finishing 23^rd in League Two.

Notts County lost against Sutton United on MD1 and are now hoping to avoid opening an EFL campaign with consecutive league defeats for the first time since 2013-14, against Sheffield United and Peterborough.

Grimsby Town have won four of their last five matches in League Two against newly promoted teams (L1), beating Barrow and Stockport County twice each last season.
