Notts County Team News
This is the 4th season in the National League for Notts County. It is not necessary to say how much they want to get out from this league. Notts County is one of the oldest clubs in the world and in the previous couple of years they were in League One and League Two with an aim to get promotion to the Championship.
But thing goes in the opposite direction and they were relegated to the fifth tier. In the previous three seasons they always had finished in the top 5 and qualified for the playoffs but later lose there. It’s very hard to gain promotion from the National League because this league has only one automatic place (the champion) and all the teams from 2nd to 7th place must play in the playoffs. Notts County is currently 1st in the league with 30 points and only one defeat after 13 rounds.
They play exceptional football with Luke Williams as manager. He was appointed during the summer. Notts County has almost 65% ball possession per game and they have the league’s top scorer in Macaulay Langstaff who scored 15 goals in the league, the same as Erling Haaland.
Notts County is in the run of four straight wins and they have eight wins in the last nine games. They scored at least a goal in every game this season and they won five of six home games. With 31 goals scored their attack is second-best in the league.
Maidstone United Team News
Maidstone was promoted from the National League South as a winner. This season they are struggling so much. Currently, they are in the relegation zone with 12 points and only three wins from 13 games. They are without a win in the last seven games and are in one of the worst forms in the National League right now.
They scored 17 goals, which isn’t that bad, but also they conceded 30 goals, which is terrible. Only Barnet conceded more than Maidstone. They are allowing too many shots on goal and in this category, they are the fourth-worst team in the division.
Maidstone is especially bad away from home. They suffered five defeats in seven games, won only four points, and failed to keep a clean sheet this season. Again, only Barnet conceded more goals away from home than Maidstone.
H2H
Because of the difference in leagues in history they never met before.
Team News and Injuries

Maidstone United: Joan Luque is injured.
Notts County vs. Maidstone United Prediction
Notts County is a huge favourite here and everything except their victory would be a big surprise. They must win games like this because they want to keep first place in the league and they have a very strong opponent in Wrexham who has wealthy owners and an unbelievable strong squad.
Notts County has a run of few games against the teams from the bottom half of the table and that’s a great opportunity to keep good form running.
Maidstone can cause little problems to Notts County but we don’t think they can do something big here, especially when you see how bad they are away from home and their current form.
