Notts County – Stevenage

Notts County host Steven Age in what promises to be a crucial clash in the lower half of the table, with the home side sitting 20th on 7 points after one win, four draws and two defeats, their goal tally sitting at a modest 7‑9. Steven Age arrive in the 11th spot with 9 points, having taken two victories and three draws from five games while conceding eight and scoring eleven. The gap of just two points makes this a potential six‑pointer for the Magpies, who will be desperate to close the gap to safety before the winter break. Meanwhile, the visitors will look to consolidate their mid‑table position and stretch the gap to the teams below, hoping to turn their slightly positive goal difference into a string of wins. Both clubs have yet to meet this season, so the encounter could prove decisive in shaping the final stretch of the campaign.
