Our Three Predictions For Notts County vs Swindon Town
- First Prediction: Notts County To Win – 13/20
- Second Prediction: Both Teams To Score – 27/50
- Third Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals – 57/100
First Prediction For Notts County vs Swindon Town – Notts County To Win – 13/20
Swindon Town head to Nottingham in their best form of the season thus far, having won two and drawn two of their last four games. This has seen them pull away from the bottom of the table, and they now sit 19th in League Two, four points above safety. However, they face arguably their toughest test of that run against an in-form Notts County team.
The Magpies saw a three-game winning run come to an end on New Year’s Day when table-toppers Walsall secured a late victory at Meadow Lane. There’s no shame in losing to a team running away with the division and they will be confident of a return to winning ways here.
Second Prediction For Notts County vs Swindon Town – Both Teams To Score – 27/50
The home side have kept three clean sheets in their last five games, although have shipped five goals in their last two outings. This indicates that the busy festive schedule is beginning to catch up with their back line and they now come up against a Swindon team that have only failed to score three times in their last 15 league games.
Ian Holloway has sparked a mini revival in recent weeks, with perhaps the most pleasing aspect coming in front of goal. With 10 goals in their last six games, the Robins will be confident they can find a way through Notts County’s defence. However, their clean sheet record is appalling, having conceded in every game since a 0-0 draw with Harrogate Town in early October.
Third Prediction For Notts County vs Swindon Town – Over 2.5 Goals – 57/100
Last season, Notts County were one of the most exciting teams in the country to watch as a neutral. Their 46 league games produced an astonishing 175 goals and whereas this season hasn’t come anywhere near those numbers, their 23 fixtures thus far have still seen the net bulge on 62 occasions. These figures have been inflated with some high-scoring games, including the recent 5-3 win over Cheltenham Town.
Swindon games this season also tend to see three or more goals, with only three of their last 10 outings failing to hit that mark. The two sides also met back in August, with the Magpies securing a 2-1 win at the County Ground.

Full Preview of the Game: Last Results and Head-To-Head
Notts County’s 2-1 defeat against Walsall on New Year’s Day saw them slip to seventh. However, League Two remains exceptionally tight at the top and they are just two points off second-placed Doncaster Rovers, who have played a game more. Prior to the loss against the Saddlers, County at won three successive games against Bradford City, MK Dons and Cheltenham Town respectively.
Swindon are in the midst of their best form of the season and are unbeaten in four games. It’s worth stating that the Robins had been dreadful for the majority of the campaign though, briefly hitting the foot of the table early last month. A 98th minute penalty from George Cox secured the three points against Colchester United on New Year’s Day. This followed two respectable 1-1 draws away from home against AFC Wimbledon and Bromley.
Notts County have won two of the three previous meetings between the two teams since their return to the EFL in 2023. This includes a 2-1 victory at the County Ground in August, whilst they also won 3-1 at Meadow Lane last season. Swindon’s last win in Nottingham came in 2018, the same season the Magpies were relegated to the National League.
