Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Accrington will be aiming to build on a morale-boosting win over Swindon Town when they take on Notts County on Matchday 39. The Accy Stanley did well to put an end to their four-game losing run, with the team finally giving fans some cheer. Accrington are eight points behind the playoffs birth and seeing that they have one game in hand, Saturday’s clash is of big importance for the home team. Talented midfielder Alex Henderson is pushing for a rare start after scoring as a substitute in the midweek triumph.
The Magpies, on the other hand, have been struggling in the English fourth tier ever since experienced forward David McGoldrick suffered an injury and given Scott Robertson’s suspension, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the home side. Earlier this term Notts County defeated Accrington 3-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
