ACCRINGTON STANLEY v NOTTS COUNTY
Saturday 9th January 2016 – Kickoff: 1500hrs
Football – England – League Two Betting Tips
Accrington Stanley registered a very handy 3-2 win away at Mansfield Town last weekend which maintained this afternoon’s hosts’ position in the play-off pack in League Two.
However, they will need to continue this momentum into today’s clash with Notts County as Stanley only occupy the last remaining play-off spot as the season starts to hot up and competition for places becomes fiercer.
Accrington’s home record stands at a reasonable 4-3-2 18/15 and three points today could see them leapfrog Wycombe Wanderers who are in FA Cup action against Aston Villa. Accrington strikers Kee and McConville look the likely anytime goalscorers for the hosts.
Visitors Notts County have now gone four matches without a win in League Two following draws with Wycombe Wanderers and Morecambe as well as defeats to Carlisle United and Oxford United.
As a result, The Magpies have slumped to 17th place in the division as they have depended on their home form so far to keep them out of any relegation worries until now. However, their away form has been less impressive as they’ve gone ten matches without a win amidst an overall record of 1-4-6 11/22.
In addition, County have kept just two clean sheets on their travels so far this season which is not a good sign when you’re travelling away to a side occupying a play-off position.
To sum up, I believe Accrington should win here today but I recommend giving the quarter-ball as extra insurance against a possible draw.
