- Home form: Bromley have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 3 of their 6 home games in League One 2026-2027.
- Defence issues: The Ravens have already conceded 14 goals at home.
- Visitors form: Notts County have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their last 5 games in all competitions.
Side with the visitors to avoid a draw
Bromley and Notts County are locked in a tight race after 13 and 12 games respectively and both sides will feel confident of taking something from the clash at The Copperjax Community Stadium this Saturday.
The Ravens are 24th in the League One 2026-2027 table with nine points from their first 13 games, and Notts County are 17th, sitting just above the relegation zone with 14 points from their 12 games.
In many ways, this game is typical of the sort of fixture that has been keeping the Magpies ahead of Bromley in the standings.
Bromley's last three games against Notts County have all been draws – 1-1 at Bromley's home in League Two 2025/2026 – and the odds of 2.0 are a little short here. The visitors have a much better form and structure than Bromley at the moment and can prevail.
Magpies should see off underdog Ravens
Tactics
Both teams will undoubtedly approach this fixture with a positive mindset, but Notts County look better equipped to get a result on Saturday because Martin Paterson's pressing strategy should bring the better result.
Notts County boss, who has been in charge since 22 June 2025, sets up his side in a 3-4-2-1 formation with the wing-backs providing width and the three central players in a midfield line pressing to recover the ball quickly. That system should work well against Bromley, who will try to play direct and wide, and win the second balls from aerial duels and set pieces.
Players and recent form
So the value angle has to be BTTS – Yes at 1.62, which fits the head-to-head draw trend and the fact that both sides have goals in them.
- Notts are 3-1-1 in their last five in all competitions after following up last Friday's 1-1 draw at home to Stockport County in the league with an impressive 2-0 win away to Mansfield Town.
- Byron Webster has been in charge of Bromley since 23 October 2026, but the club are currently on a streak of three straight losses, falling 3-2 at Wigan Athletic in League One 2026-2027 and 0-2 at home to Rotherham United FC in the FA Cup 2026-2027.
- Victor Adeboyejo has been Bromley's main man in the league, scoring four in seven, but Paterson's team have an equally clinical finisher in Oliver Cooper, who has three in seven.
