Notts County vs Boreham Wood Predictions

• Notts County have won six of their last nine National League home games.
• Boreham Wood have lost three of their last four league games away from home.
• Fewer than four goals have been scored in six of the last seven Notts County home games and nine of the last ten Boreham Wood away league fixtures.

Don’t touch out-of-form Wood this week

Boreham Wood have lost a lot of momentum in recent weeks and it’s hard to see them preventing Notts County from leapfrogging them in the National League table on Tuesday night. Luke Garrard’s side have won only one of their last eight games and seem destined to drop out of playoff contention unless they can arrest their current slump.

Tuesday’s trip north to Meadow Lane is an opportunity to put some distance between them and the team that sits just one place below in the table, but the Wood are in a hole in terms of their goalscoring right now. The visitors have scored just four times in their last eight games and have failed to find the back of the net in three of their last four away league contests.

Magpies’ recent win was a timely boost

Notts County’s recent form could also be better, but the Magpies are at least scoring goals – 18 in their last nine league fixtures. Their come-from-behind win at Dagenham and Redbridge on Saturday is just the boost Ian Burchnall’s men need going into this fixture.

We believe a Magpies team with a handy home record can get the win against this out-of-form Boreham Wood side right now. And with fewer than four goals scored in six of the last seven Notts County home games and nine of the last ten Boreham Wood away league fixtures, taking the hosts with under 3.5 goals looks like a good option.

Clean sheets have been a problem at Meadow Lane, where they have kept only one since November, so we are taking the hosts to win this 2-1.  Boreham Wood have conceded seven in their last four away trips and may need to find their shooting boots quickly if this season of promise isn’t to fizzle out over the next month.
