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

Prediction: 2-1
Swindon
Following a 2-1 loss to Walsall, Notts County will look to return to winning ways in the League Two when they face Swindon Town on Matchday 25. The Magpies failed to continue where they left in December, but they are surely capable of beating the Robins at Meadow Lane. Experienced striker David McGoldrick should keep his place up front despite failing to find the net in the midweek defeat, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Swindon, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-2 win over Colchester United. The Robins have been scoring goals for fun at home of late, but given their poor winless run on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. The bad news for the visiting team is that important forward Harry Smith limped off with injury in the last league match.
Highlighted Player (David McGoldrick):
David McGoldrick is an Irish international who was born in Nottingham, England on 29 November, 1987. McGoldrick was eligible to play for both England and Republic of Ireland and he decided to play for the Irish national team. The striker made his Ireland debut on 18 November, 2014, in a 4-1 win over USA and it has to be noted that he provided assists for Robbie Brady and Anthony Pilkington.
McGoldrick began his senior career at Nots County and he played for the likes of Northampton, Bournemouth, Port Vale, Nottingham Forest, Sheffield Wednesday and Coventry City in the past as well. The Irish attacker he joined Ipswich Town on loan until the end of the 2012/2013 campaign and he signed a permanent deal with the club in July 2013.
David McGoldrick scored 14 goals in 31 appearances for the Tractor Boys in the 2013/2014 Championship campaign and that is considered his most successful season. You should have in mind that his Ipswich teammates Daryl Murphy and Stephen Hunt backed David for his first-ever Ireland call-up.
