2020/21 National League Winner Odds

Despite an opening day defeat away to Torquay, Stockport are still the bookies’ favourites to win the National League this season.

The Hatters were unlucky to just finish outside the play-off positions last season despite being in the top seven when the season came to its abrupt end last campaign, with their points-per-game score seeing them fall short.

The club's experienced manager Jim Gannon will be hoping to go all the way and win the title this season, improving on the top ten finish last campaign in their first season back in the fifth tier.

The North West outfit will be looking to return to the football league for the first time since their 2011 relegation from League Two. Some strong signings such as John Rooney, who impressed at last season’s National League winners, Barrow, puts County as a serious contender, and the favourites.

County to win the National League is priced at 4/1, whilst they are 9/4 to be promoted.

Notts County narrowly missed out on promotion back to League Two last season, losing to Harrogate at Wembley in the play-off final.

Neal Ardley still boasts one of the strongest teams in the league on paper, so it’s no surprise that they’re still one of the favourites for the league. Plenty of positive signings have boosted their chances of returning to the Football League at the second time of asking, following their relegation in 2019.

They may not have got off to the right start, losing away to Dover Athletic, but they are still heavily tipped to be a force in the National League this season.

Notts County to win the National League is priced at 9/2 and to just earn promotion sits at odds of 5/2.

Another team that are tipped to be there or thereabouts after a recent relegation out of the Football League is Yeovil Town.

The Glovers also lost out in the play-off after succumbing to Barnet to scupper their chances of returning to the Football League at the first time of asking.

Darren Sarll’s side may have lost some of their influential players in the summer, such as Myles Hippolyte to Scunthorpe United, but still have some good players that are capable of taking Yeovil to the top.

Yeovil Town odds to win the National League is priced at 13/2, whilst the Somerset side are priced at 13/2 to earn promotion.

There’s a lot of hype around Wrexham in recent times, with a potential takeover involving Hollywood megastars being possibly on the verge. Can those exciting sounds around Wales be turned into momentum on the pitch, with Wrexham getting their hands on the title?

The Welsh outfit struggled last season, but have made strides in the summer with some big signings such as pacey winger Anthony Jeffrey from Dover and striker Adi Yussuf from Blackpool.

Odds are 15/2 for Wrexham to go all the way and win the National League in 2020/21 and to win promotion, the National League regulars are priced at 11/2.

Hartlepool fell just short of the play-offs last season; they were three points adrift before the league was stopped.

A win in their first game of the season against Aldershot at the weekend got them off to a good start, and the Pool are tipped to be in with a chance of lifting the title with a price of 7/1.

Dave Challinor’s side have made some promising acquisitions this summer, with Tom Crawford arriving from Notts County, Lewis Cass making the loan move from Newcastle United and David Parkhouse joining on loan from Sheffield United.

Challinor’s side have plenty of depth, which could be extremely helpful in the busy National League schedule over the course of the season, and you can find them at odds of 4/1 to earn promotion back to the Football League.
