Notts County secured a return to League Two in 2022/23 and had an incredible start last year. They even held a top spot after the first quarter of the season and were in the playoffs spots in the first half of the season. Unfortunately for the Magpies, they couldn't maintain that form and eventually finished 14th - nine points from the Playoffs. This year, Notts County once again started the season well, as they are in 5th place after the first ten rounds. Even though 5th place doesn't look impressive, the fact that they are just one point away from the top spot is definitely a reason for satisfaction.
Northampton are one of the teams that constantly moved between League One and League Two in recent history. Last year, they had a sold season in League One as they finished 14th with 60 points. Unfortunately for the Cobblers, they did not start this season on the right foot and are in 20th place while winning just eight points in nine rounds - 0.89 per game. As the season progresses, the Cobblers are only looking worse, and survival looks like a challenging task at this moment.
Notts County vs Northampton pick: Notts County to (AH 0) win
Notts County are looking pretty good this season, losing only twice (in the regular time) in 12 games with a 50% win rate in all competitions. But even in those two losses against Port Vale and Gillingham, Notts County definitely deserved more as they dominated the matches. So, with a little luck, we would speak about a massive undefeated streak.
On the other hand, Northampton are in terrible form, having lost three in a row with an atrocious 1:10 goal difference. So, even though they are playing in a league above Notts County, we do not trust them to win away from home at this moment.
These teams will most likely rotate their squads, but considering all the above, we believe that the Magpies are closer to winning the upcoming EFL Trophy game on home turf at Meadow Lane.
