Notts County (home)
- League Two 2025-2026’s 4th-placed club (81 points from 46 games) Salford City take on 5th-placed Notts County (80 points from 46 games) in what promises to be a keenly contested game at Meadow Lane on Monday.
- Notts County have failed to win any of their last three home games (D2, L1).
Salford City (away)
- Salford City are undefeated in their last five, winning three and drawing two.
- Karl Robinson, who took the reins of Salford City in January 2024, operates at the other end of the spectrum with a pragmatic, results-first approach that sees the visitors switch up their formation and players fluidly.
- A Salford City side that have claimed two wins and a draw in their last three away games are capable of playing in a compact 4-5-1 shape, or they can match the pace of Notts County in a more fluid 4-2-3-1 system.
Head-to-Head
Salford City have won the last five head-to-head meetings between these teams, including a 2-1 win at home six weeks ago.
Key Players
-
Notts County:
- Notts County have been let down by a lack of goals up front, but 15-goal Alassana Jatta has been the main threat, while Nicholas Tsaroulla has stepped up recently, scoring half of their last four goals in the past five games.
-
Salford City:
- Salford City’s top scorer Ryan Graydon has 11 to his name in 46 appearances and is a man for the big occasion, so he looks like a good anytime goalscorer bet alongside the County number 10.
Betting Insights
- Both teams to score looks the best bet at 1.77.
- Notts County have scored 45 goals in total at home in League Two 2025/2026, averaging 1.96 goals per game, while Salford City have been vulnerable on the road, conceding 27 goals in 23 away fixtures this season.
Prediction
While Notts County’s attacking threat looks good on paper, the hosts have failed to beat Salford in their last three home encounters, while the visiting Ammies are unbeaten in five, so take Salford to nick it on Monday.
