Stevenage vs Notts County Predictions

Billy-Joe Saunders, the talented British boxer and former Middleweight champion of the world, will box for the Super-Middleweight championship at Stevenage’s Lamex Stadium once the football season is finished, but prior to that contest taking place, the football team who plays their matches their will be hoping to show some fight of their own as they bid for a spot in the end of season play-offs. This weekend Stevenage welcome another side fighting for every point at the moment as relegation threatened Notts County come to town.

Stevenage will still be hopeful they can secure a spot in the end of season play-offs but their inconsistent form going into this weekends clash means that they are now seven points from the top seven and have played a game more than Exeter City, the side who currently occupy the much prized seventh spot. The hosts have managed to claim just seven points in their previous eight outings, which is a tally just one greater than the most out of form side in the division.

Making the trip to the Lamex Stadium this weekend is a Notts County side who have an identical points return over the last eight outings. The visitors will know that they need to improve their form if they are to avoid playing their football the National League next season and they go into this match three points behind the side who are in 22nd place. The Magpies will know that their recent improvements at the back also have to be balanced by still being able to put the ball in the back of the net if they are to accomplish their goal.

With both sides having plenty left to play for, we think that they will both come into the match in a positive mindset and go on the attack. The hosts have clearly demonstrated their quality throughout the campaign and will fancy themselves to outclass their visitors, but at this stage in the season teams down on their luck often find an extra few percent and perform on a higher level. With this in mind, we think that backing there to be over 2.5 goals scored represents the best option.
