One of the most entertaining matches last weekend took place at Gigg Lane, where Notts County came back from 2-0 and 3-2 down to land a point against Bury. While they continue to be suspect on the road, their home form is more solid, with five wins from eight matches thus far. It would be six had they not taken their foot off the gas against Torquay, although the Magpies should prove too strong for Aldershot. Striker Lee Hughes has eleven for the season and forms a lethal partnership with Luke Rodgers.
Aldershot have lost four of their eight away matches, mustering just two wins. Last Saturday’s goalless draw with Macclesfield suggests a lack of cutting edge, with the team managing just six goals on the road. They will aim to keep things tight at the County ground, although it’s their form at the Recreation Ground which has enabled them to sit in the top half of the table and goalkeeper Mikhael Jaimez-Ruiz could be in for a busy afternoon. Best odds for the Notts County win is 1.61 at Sky Bet.
