Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Notts County
Match Time & Date:

16:00
Prediction: 3-1
Forest Green
Notts County will be aiming to build on a 2-0 win over Salford City when they take on Forest Green in the League Two round 9. The newcomers continue relying on experienced striker David McGoldrick, who has already netted three goals this season and we predict that the former Derby County man is going to prove a handful for the opposition back-line. Meanwhile, the Green Army suffered a dip in form, with the team conceding six goals in total in back-to-back losses to Crewe (1-4) and Doncaster (1-2).
Forest Green face an uphill task in Saturday’s clash against the promotion hopefuls and we do not believe that they are capable of claiming a major scalp. To make things even worse for the visiting team, defender Fankaty Dabo limped off with injury in the last league match. Fellow right-back Dominic Bernard is ready to step up.
