League Two
Our Three Predictions For Swindon Town vs Notts County
- Prediction 1 – Aaron Drinan To Score – 7/5
- Prediction 2 – Over 2.5 Goals Scored – 3/4
- Prediction 3 – Notts County To Win – 12/5
First Prediction For Swindon Town vs Notts County – Aaron Drinan To Score – 7/5
The League Two top scorer had an off day last time out but is surely a shoe-in to score once again in this match. With 8 goals in 11 matches so far, the Irish forward leads the division in contributions, also having an assist to his name. The loss to Accrington Stanley brought to an end a run of 6 matches with at least a goal. Playing just an hour against Stanley, he will need to be much more sharper since returning from a layoff but the stats back him to get on the board, with 1.34 shots on target per game and an xG on target of 5.80, one of the best in the fourth tier.
Second Prediction For Swindon Town vs Notts County – Over 2.5 Goals Scored – 3/4
While Drinan is surely a dangerous threat for Swindon, County do have their own assets which can deliver. Tyrese Hall was the difference maker against Barnet on the weekend, while Alassana Jatta remains a dangerous aerial threat, even if he has had a slow start to the season. These are two of the league’s best offensive sides, with Swindon averaging 1.83 goals per game, while the Magpies sit just behind them on 1.75 goals per game. Neither side have been strong at the back either, both also averaging over a goal conceded per match.
Third Prediction For Swindon Town vs Notts County – Notts County To Win – 12/5
Town were sucker punched against Accrington Stanley and head into a clash against a Notts County side now consistently getting results and building momentum, no doubt helped with a late winner away from home. Martin Paterson’s side have now won 3 on the bounce, and despite some shaky results against Crewe Alexandra and Gillingham, the Magpies look to have finally got themselves on an upward trend towards promotion. The visitors may just have enough to beat Swindon, but the result could easily go in favour of the Robins.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
Swindon Town play their match in hand knowing that a win will propel them back to the top of League Two by one point. Ian Holloway’s side surrendered their place in the automatic positions on the weekend with a damaging loss to Accrington Stanley, which saw the ‘Owd Reds score 4 and an Ollie Clarke red card. That was their first loss in a month, having also lost to playoff contenders Salford City in a back-and-forth thriller in Greater Manchester. Nevertheless, Town have secured 9 points in their last 5 games. Ian Holloway has confirmed four absences for that game, with Clarke, Ryan Tafazolli, Danny Butterworth and Adam Murphy confirmed to be out of action.
Notts County meanwhile are beginning to climb their way back up the table after a slow start, and enter their game in hand in 9th place, which could rise as high as 5th should the Magpies win back-to-back road games. It was added-time ecstasy for Martin Paterson’s side as Tyrese Hall’s 94th-minute goal beat Barnet at the Hive at the weekend, giving them their 3rd straight win on the spin in all competitions. County have also picked up 9 points in their last 5, losing to Gillingham and Crewe. Jayden Luker is definitely out of action, having undergone knee surgery.
These sides have played 16 games since 2010 and it is Notts County that hold the winning record in this fixture, with 8 wins to Swindon’s 7. The last time the points were shared was way back in 2013 in League One in a goalless draw at the County Ground. The Magpies won both games last season.
