Notts County vs Cheltenham Town Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

It’s the proverbial relegation six pointer when Notts County host Cheltenham Town this weekend and we are backing new Magpies manager Kevin Nolan to help his side to a vital three points. With the side in such poor form at the moment we feel it would be sensible to add a safety net to the tip, so we are going with Notts County to win either half at 5/6 with bet365. For our correct score tip we think it will be a pretty tight affair and before County come out on top, a 2-1 home win is priced at 9/1 with the same site.

Kevin Nolan has had an okay start to life as Notts County manager and even though they couldn’t avoid defeat to Accrington last time out, their victory over Crawley the week before put an end to 13 games without a win in the league. There is obviously plenty of work still to be done but with Shoala Ameobi coming in to the club it will give the Magpies a focal point to their attacking threat. While Nolan has a big name up front, he knows his biggest task is at the other end of the field where their 53 goals conceded so far rates as the worst defensive record in the division.

Cheltenham sit just three points above Saturday’s hosts and they know that defeat at the weekend will drag them right back into the relegation dog fight. A recent improvement in form has seen them avoid defeat in their previous three games but with just three wins on their travels all season it looks like an uphill battle if they are to add to that tally.
