4 victories, 0 draws and 0 defeats. That’s what Notts County have to build on here at Meadow Lane Stadium in the League Two. Notts County has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Meadow Lane Stadium. We remember; it was Grimsby Town.

No payout for County in their previous match, an away game at Colchester United that ended in defeat 4-5. Up until that beating this club had gone eight consecutive league rounds without losing. A goal frenzy last time out for Notts County, with a total of 9 goals in the match against Colchester United. Fun stuff to watch! Midfield player Crowley got a match rating of 8.44 in that game, the max score being 10. Crowley hit five key passes, dribled past the opponent 4 of 4 times and had 51 successful passes (of 59 total).

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Forest Green Rovers in a game that was won 4-3.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
