High flying Notts County target another win

Notts County have performed really well this season, winning on a consistent basis and they currently sit in third place in the league. Their recent form has seen them pick up wins against Aldershot, Barrow and Fylde as they go three games unbeaten. They are 10 points behind leaders Barrow, a lead that is likely to be too big to bridge but they will be keen to pick up another win and give their all as long as they have the chance of a title win.

County have scored 57 times this season at a rate of 1.54 goals per game and they’ve been able to improve this record over their past five games with their average rising to 1.6 over this time. Defensively the side have performed well too, conceding the least of any of the top six with just 38 goals conceded in 37 games.

Struggling Eastleigh facing relegation fight

Eastleigh have seen their season falter of late as the side drop into the bottom half and now sit just five points above the relegation zone. They’ve been wildly inconsistent over the past few weeks, picking up eight points out of a possible 15 but they do have the advantage of having a couple of games in hand over the sides above them.

Eastleigh have scored just 43 times this season, a total matched by Fylde who are currently second bottom. This poor record in the final third hasn’t been helped by their defensive woes, which have seen them concede at a rate of 1.41 goals per game. An improvement is needed at both ends of the pitch of Eastleigh could find their relegation fears worsen.

An easy win likely for Notts County

Notts County look as though they should take all three points from this game without too many issues with their form and superior squad having enough to take the win. We think the value lies in the team total goals market though and we’re backing Notts County to score over 1.5 goals, something they’ve achieved in their last three matches.

We can see Notts County having a relatively easy time of it this weekend with Eastleigh struggling for goals and consistency of late. A clean sheet for Notts County looks like it could be on the cards and we’re backing this match to finish 2-0 to the hosts.
