Yeovil Town vs Notts County Predictions

With the halfway point of the season only just behind us, many will say that there is still plenty of time left in the campaign and plenty more twists and turns to come before League Two reaches it’s conclusion. However, for fans of Notts County, they know that time is running out for their side to reverse their fortunes and this weekend’s clash against fellow strugglers Yeovil Town is a huge match which could have major repercussions in deciding who suffers the drop come the end of the season.

For fans of Yeovil Town, they will be delighted to finally get the monkey off their back as last weekend’s 1-0 victory away at Mansfield Town was the side’s first win in 11 matches. That run of just three points from a potential 30 saw the side slip to just outside the bottom two and although there is still plenty of work still to be done, they will certainly be hoping it is a result which can be built upon with another three points in this relegation six pointer this weekend.

Making the trip to Huish Park is a Notts County side who have just not been able to get going at any point during the campaign so far. Now on to their third manager of the season, the Magpies know they face an uphill battle as not only do they have to close an ever expanding gap to those ahead in the league, but they also need to plug a leaky defence which has seen them concede 57 times in 28 outings, which is an average of  2.04 goals per game.

The importance of this match for both sides simply cannot be overstated and it is the definition of a relegation six-pointer. With the stakes so high, we predict a pretty tight affair and it is something which we think may play into the hands of the hosts. Although they have the worst home record in the division, they do have the better defence, and with the win from last weekend giving them that extra little boost, we think that backing a home win is the way to go in this fixture.
