Notts County form: one win in six
Notts County beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 at Meadow Lane on 20 October 2026, four days before this match, and that result sits awkwardly against everything either side of it. In the six games counted here they have won 1, drawn 1 and lost 4.
The two before Sheffield Wednesday were a 0-2 defeat away to Wycombe Wanderers seven days before this fixture and a 1-2 home defeat to Oxford United 14 days before it. Going further back: 0-2 at Reading, 0-1 at home to Bradford City, 1-1 away to Huddersfield Town.
Four goals scored, eight conceded. They have failed to score in 3 of those 6 and kept a single clean sheet, which happens to be the one they just kept. At home they have won 1 of 3.
Stockport County form: four wins from six
Stockport County won 2-0 away to Doncaster Rovers on 20 October 2026, four days before this match, and that made it four wins in their last six - 13 points, with one draw and one defeat.
The wins have a shape to them. Bromley beaten 1-0 at home seven days before this fixture, Barnsley beaten 3-1 at home 14 days before it, Peterborough United beaten 1-0 at home 28 days before. The draw was 0-0 away to Sheffield Wednesday. The defeat, 42 days before this match, was a 3-4 home loss to Leicester City, and it is the only game in the six in which Stockport have conceded two or more.
Four clean sheets in six. Ten scored, five conceded. On the road they have won 1 of 2.
What decides Notts County vs Stockport County
Sheffield Wednesday are the useful comparison. Notts County beat them 2-0 at Meadow Lane; Stockport County drew 0-0 with them at Hillsborough 35 days before this fixture. Two clean sheets from two very different performances.
What that leaves is a Notts County side who have scored two or more in only 1 of their last 6, against a defence that has shut out four opponents in the same stretch. Notts need a repeat of Tuesday rather than a return to the three games in which they did not score at all.
Team news
Notts County are without Matty Platt, Lewis Macari, Dean Campbell, Olie Cooper and Emile Acquah, while Scott Robertson was forced off during the Sheffield Wednesday win; Luka Smyth came back into the starting side after sitting out the Wycombe Wanderers defeat, and manager Martin Paterson may give Lipsiuc a start after he scored off the bench against Wednesday. Stockport County reported no fresh problems from the Doncaster Rovers win and could name an unchanged team, with Kyle Wootton, Jack Diamond and Oliver Norwood all expected to keep their places, according to Sports Mole.
Notts County vs Stockport County prediction
Our call is a narrow Stockport County win at Notts County in League One on Saturday, 24 October 2026, with the visitors edging it by a single goal at Meadow Lane. Stockport have kept four clean sheets in their last six and conceded twice in a game only once in that run, which is a hard wall for a Notts County side who have scored four goals in six matches.
Notts County's 2-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday was their best work of the run and it came at home, so this is not a write-off. It is just that Stockport have been the more reliable team in every part of the pitch.
Our prediction: Notts County 0-1 Stockport County
