Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Bromley and Notts County, the two old rivals from the National League, face each other at Hayes Lane in what is expected to be an interesting League Two encounter. The Ravens shared the spoils with Colchester United at the weekend, but it has to be noted that the U’s failed to turn their dominance into victory. Defender Besart Topalloj is banned for Saturday’s clash, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Magpies, on the other hand, look unstoppable at the moment, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive win in the English fourth tier. Taking everything into account, we predict that Notts County are going to capitalize on Topallo’s absence in the Hayes Lane clash. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be former Sheffield United striker David McGoldrick, who scored a brace in a 2-0 win over Accrington Stanley.
