Only Mansfield have knocked in more league goals than County’s impressive tally of 72. Yet, the Magpies find themselves with the division’s most porous defence, having let in 72 goals. Bradford, on the other hand, have managed a mere 22 goals at home, with only three teams faring worse in front of their own fans.
The Magpies could turn their recent downturn around with a win Notts County’s form has taken a nosedive, with just one league win in their last 12 outings, plummeting to 17th place and nine points adrift of the play-off spots. Despite this, Stuart Maynard’s side remains a solid pick to clinch a win at Valley Parade, thanks to their sharpshooting abilities.
Macauley Langstaff leads the division with 23 goals this season, with both David McGoldrick and Dan Crowley hitting double figures in goals, and Jodi Jones setting up an impressive 20 assists – twice as many as any other player in the league.
With Bradford only finding the net 22 times at home this season, they might find it tough to keep up with the scoring prowess of their opponents on Tuesday night. Especially considering the Bantams’ 4-2 loss in the previous encounter, where they were 4-0 down by half-time.
Notts County urgently needs a win to revive their promotion hopes, and given their superior quality, they should be able to secure it. With Bradford managing just a single goal in each of their last five home matches across all competitions, a 3-1 victory for the visitors seems the most likely outcome.
