Prediction: 3-2
Gillingham
Notts County will look to extend their winning run in the League Two to five games when they take on Gillingham on Matchday 7. The Magpies have been scoring goals for fun of late and are likely to stick to their attacking style of play in Saturday’s clash. Despite failing to find the net in a 4-2 win over Bromley, experienced forward David McGoldrick should keep his place in the starting XI.
Conor Grant is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league match. The Gills, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-0 win over Tranmere, but given their ups and downs on the road, we believe that there is a big value in backing the home side. To make things even more complicated for the away team, important midfielder Ethan Coleman is banned for the match.
