Prediction: 2-2
Notts County
Saturday’s football game at the Wham Stadium pits together Accrington Town and Notts County. The Accy Stanley aim to build on back-to-back wins over Grimsby Town and Colchester United and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Notts County. A man to watch in the home team will be Shaun Whalley, who scored a brace in the last league match, while midfielder Liam Coyle returns to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the FA Cup loss (0-4) to Liverpool.
The Magpies, meanwhile, have been in a fine form of late, winning four of their last five league matches. As both Notts County and Accrington have been showing signs of improvement in January, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Alassana Jatta is rated doubtful for the visiting team after limping off with injury in a 2-0 win over Swindon.
