Side with the draw or both teams to score
Betting view
The 2.18 favorite status of Peterborough United looks very thin to us ahead of Saturday's game at the Weston Homes Stadium against Notts County, who are 3.0 to take the points. We're going to take the slight home edge that Posh have, but we're not feeling confident enough to side with the hosts this weekend, so we're taking the tie at 3.55.
Management and form
Ryan Harley has been at the helm of Peterborough United since 20 September 2026, and he needs to get his side scoring goals before they can start climbing the standings. The Posh's current form of 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats from their last 5 matches in all competitions is below par, as is their home record of 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
Ben Woods is the home team's main goal threat, with the winger scoring 2 goals in 6 League One games this season.
- Their last 3 games saw a 0-2 home loss to Doncaster Rovers in League One, a 3-1 win at home to Colchester United in the EFL Trophy and a 1-0 away loss to Stockport County in League One.
Hosts to nick a close game
Early-season form
Notts County have had a slightly better start to the season, with 7 points from 7 in the new campaign leaving them with a narrow cushion over the bottom end. They come into this game on the back of a 2-0 away defeat to Reading in League One and a 2-1 home win over Grimsby Town in the EFL Trophy.
Manager and tactics
Martin Paterson has been in charge of Notts County since 22 June 2025, and has so far managed to make his team hard to beat on the road, with 3 draws and 1 loss from 4 games away from home in League One 2026-2027. They're also a bit more organised than the hosts, and should be able to punish any overcommitment by the Posh on the counter and with runs from their wing-backs.
Oliver Cooper is County's danger man, with 3 goals in 7 games in the third tier so far, and he's been involved in 3 of County's last 4 goals. We're expecting a tight and nervous game on Saturday, with Over 2.5 goals at 1.7 and both teams to score at 1.55 both looking very likely to us.
