Notts County will host Swindon Town at Meadow Lane on Tuesday, 27 January, in a matchup that spotlights contrasting recent forms. Notts County has struggled at home, recording just one win in their last five games (1W, 2D, 2L) with a total of five goals scored but conceding seven. Their last home match ended in a 0-1 defeat to Accrington Stanley on January 1, further highlighting their difficulties in converting chances into points at Meadow Lane. In contrast, Swindon Town has shown more resilience on the road, with a recent away record of three wins in their last five matches (3W, 2L). They scored nine goals while conceding five during this stretch, including a strong 2-0 win against Cheltenham Town on December 29. However, their latest away outing saw them narrowly lose 2-3 to Salford City in the FA Cup, indicating that their form might be on shaky ground despite previous successes. Both teams employ a possession-heavy and methodical approach to their play. Notts County excels in possession play and open play attacking, with key contributors such as Matthew Dennis, who has netted six goals and provided one assist in 11 home matches this season. Alassana Jatta and Tyrese Hall have also been instrumental in their attacking efforts, contributing five and three goals respectively in home fixtures. Swindon Town will look to their key players for a decisive edge in this encounter. Aaron Drinan has scored four goals in nine away games this season, while Joe Snowdon has added three goals and two assists in ten away matches. With both teams featuring strong possession play, the battle for midfield control could be crucial in determining the outcome of this fixture.
