A fixture with plenty of history

Stevenage's league position gives them a clear edge, though a table reading alone doesn't guarantee how this specific game unfolds.

How this one could play out

With Notts County drawing seven of their last 20 games and Stevenage drawing four, there's a decent chance this ends up tight rather than decisive. Stevenage's better league position gives them a bit more confidence heading in.

Still, Notts County have shown they can compete with tougher opposition recently, taking points off Huddersfield and Luton, so this won't necessarily be a straightforward away day for Stevenage.
