Match Previews

Notts County have met Swindon Town on 62 occasions, the first time being 103 years ago in the FA Cup. On that day in January 1911, the Robins beat the Magpies 2-0 at the County Ground. Of the 62 clashes, 24 have been won by Notts, 26 by Swindon, and 12 have been drawn. The last meeting between the two was in December last year, when the Robins won 3-0 at Meadow Lane, thanks to an Andy Williams brace and a strike from Massimo Luongo.

Notts County have met Colchester United a modest 41 times over the years, all league encounters except for one Sherpa Vans Trophy tie in 1988. Notts hold the marginal upper edge, having won 19 games to Colchester's 14, with 8 draws. All league encounters between the two have never taken place higher than the third tier. The recent history between those two sides is very positive for the Magpies - we have won the last six games against the Essex side, by an aggrega

Notts County have met Port Vale a grand total of 93 times over the years, with the first two fixtures coming within a week of each other back in February 1921. The Magpies won the first game 2-1, but lost 1-0 at Meadow Lane. Notts have the upper edge having won 39 games, lost 34, and drawn 20 against the Valiants, with the highest scoring matches coming in February 1927 (a 6-2 defeat) and April 1935 (a 5-3 defeat). Last time these two play

Saturday marks only the second time that Notts have met Fleetwood Town in a league match. The first meeting was at the start of this season, in August - when the Fishermen beat the Magpies 1-0 at Meadow Lane. And the first ever meeting between the two sides was around eighteen months ago when Notts beat Fleetwood 3-2, again at our place, in the League Cup. You might remember it as the game that preceded THAT epic clash against Liverpool at Anfield.

Sheffield United’s first match against Notts took place on the 17th January 1891 in the FA Cup - and we won 9-1! Since then, however, the Blades have undisputedly held the upper hand in head-to-head statistics: they have won 48 games against the Magpies. We’ve beaten then just 26 times, and there have been 14 draws. Our last game was back in November, which ended in a 1-1 draw.   Their grou

Notts County have played local rivals Chesterfield a total of 64 times over the years, the first meeting coming on the 29th November 1930 in the FA Cup. The game took place at the Spireites' old ground, Saltergate, and finished 2-1 to the Magpies. The head-to-head record favours Notts, with 27 victories, 19 defeats and 19 draws. The latter was the outcome of our last meeting (1-1) back in September last year.   Nobody knows

Notts County first played Oldham Athletic all the way back in 1910. During the Division One fixture, played at the Oldham Athletic Ground (now known as Boundary Park), the home side ran out 2-1 winners against the Magpies. The Latics hold the upper edge against Notts in the head-to-head, having won 36 games to our 34, while 21 draws have taken place - making a total of 91 games. Of those draws, arguably one of the most important in recent years was a mere

Notts County and Peterborough have met a grand total of 45 times over the years, dating back to the 1960s. The Posh hold the upper edge, with 18 wins to our 12, while 15 draws have taken place. The first meeting between the two, a Third Division fixture on the 7th September 1961, ended in a 2-2 draw. Our record win over the Posh is a 6-0 drubbing at Meadow Lane in the 1970-71 season, while our record defeat to them

With only two games featuring tonight with Oldham v Rochdale being postponed, all play-off chasers and hopefuls will be keeping an eye out on the result of our game. Preston North End will be hoping to beat Yeovil so they can move back to 3rd whilst Yeovil could move to 21st if everything works out for them. Notts will be hoping the squad additions can continue to help us progress, whilst Doncaster will be focusing on how to take the game to us and using the home

Doncaster Rovers could include new signing Abdul Razak in their squad against Notts County, pending international clearance. The former Manchester City man has completed his move from Greek club OFI Crete, signing a deal at the Keepmoat until the end of the season. Doncaster have no new problems following the 1-0 home victory over South Yorkshire rivals Barnsley. Midfielder Dean Furman is still away with South Africa at the African Cup of

Saturday 17th January 2015 Key Fixtures Colchester v Walsall Doncaster v Barnsley Fleetwood v Oldham Gillingham v Coventry Port Vale v Peterborough Rochdale v Crawley Scunthorpe v Bristol City Prediction Crewe Alexandra are currently within good form having beaten some very respectable teams within League One. They will be heading to Meadow Lane to prove a point and to continue their progression away from the relegation zone. I see this ending in a 1-1 draw. Match Odds Notts County to win

Notts County’s head-to-head history with Crewe Alexandra dates back to September 1893, when the Magpies faced the Railwaymen at the Alexandra Recreation Ground. The result was a 2-0 win for Notts. After several further meetings in the late 1890s, the fixture would experience a hiatus of 63 years; between 1896 and 1959, the two teams didn't play each other.   Despite our shared history going back so far, there have only been 40 meet

All is to play for today as Bristol City, Swindon Town, Preston North End and MK Dons stride to continue their progress towards their title challenges. Whereas Notts will be trying to secure points which would allow them to remain within the top half of the division. A draw would be a brilliant result. Sheffield United v Preston North End is the stand out game within League One, two top teams coming head to head with a lot on stake.  

Notts County and Bristol City have faced each other a gargantuan 106 times over their history. This is because both clubs have been regularly playing each other since the 1900s. Tomorrow will however be just the fourth league encounter between the two in just over ten years. City only just hold the upper edge, having won 43 games to Notts's 39, while 24 matches have been drawn. The city of Bristol is the largest metro area in Engla

Notts have faced Bradford 65 times in their history - the first clash came in 1908, when the First Division fixture at Meadow Lane finished 1-1. Over the years, the Magpies have the edge, with 28 wins over the Bantams, 22 defeats, and 15 draws. The last game between the two was on New Year's Day this year, a resounding 3-0 win for Notts. Bradford City was founded in 1903. It was immediately elected into Division Two of the Football League despite not havin

Bristol City, Swindon Town and even perhaps Preston North End fans will be hoping Notts can 'surprise' MK Dons today, as Notts prepare to host them at Meadow Lane. This is a very tough game for us Magpies, MK Dons are in fine form and may put on a performance to suppress that of what we seen by Swindon. Notts will have to be tactically prepared, whilst the defence and midfield will be key to over coming any danger.   Key Fixtures&#

If we take into account that the Milton Keynes Dons began their history in 2004, then Notts County have faced the club just 12 times. The first fixture took place in 2006, which was won by the Dons 3-2. Its predecessor, Wimbledon, was around for over 110 years, but nonetheless, Notts have only played six games against them.   A depressing statistic: out of 18 games between the Magpies and both Dons incarnations, we’ve only won once

Notts and Rochdale have only met a total of 38 times over the years, with the first meeting coming on the 10th December 1949. During this FA Cup clash at Spotland, the Magpies triumphed 2-1. The last meeting between the two was two and a half years ago in February 2012, and in this League One clash, again at Spotland, Notts won 1-0.   Rochdale AFC was formed in 1907, and in their entire history, they have only ever switched divisio

Notts County and Preston North End are two of the oldest football clubs in the country (and by extension, the world), whose history goes back over 125 years. The first fixture between the two took place in November 1888, when North End defeated the Magpies 7-0 in the first ever season of the Football League. The 1888-89 season saw Preston remain unbeaten throughout, and would go on to become English football's first "Invincibles", a feat which remained unb

Notts County have met Swindon Town on 61 occasions, the first time being 103 years ago in the FA Cup. On that day in January 1911, the Robins beat the Magpies 2-0 at the County Ground. Of the 61 clashes, 24 have been won by Notts, 25 by Swindon, and 12 have been drawn. The last meeting between the two was back in April this year, which Notts won 2-0 at Meadow Lane   The club was founded in 1879 by Reverend

Notts County have met Doncaster Rovers 51 times over the years, with the first fixture coming on the 13th December 1930. On that occasion, an FA Cup tie, the Magpies triumphed 1-0. Rovers have the upper edge head-to-head, but only just. They have 23 wins and 21 defeats against Notts, with seven draws. Our last meeting came at the tail end of the 2012-13 season, when Notts secured a 1-0 victory at the Keepmoat courtesy of this rather decent effort by Joss L

Sheffield United’s first match against our beloved Notts took place on the 17th Jan 1891 in the FA Cup. Just to give you an idea how long ago this was… Sir Winston Churchill was a mere 16 years old when the game was played! The scoreline is also of note: Notts won 9-1! Since then, however, the Blades have undisputedly held the upper hand in head-to-head statistics: they have won 48 games against the Magpies. We’ve beaten then just 26 times, and there have
