Magpies look for their first away win
Notts County are yet to win away from home in League One 2026/2027 after 4 trips, with 3 draws and 1 defeat, and that's a big reason why Wycombe go into this Saturday's game as marginal favourites at 2.0, with the Magpies listed at 3.45 and the draw at 3.55. Wycombe have 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat across their last 5 matches, but they're winless in 5 at home in League One 2026/2027 (D3, L2) and that makes this match look live for the visitors.
Tactical setup
Tom Hounsell has been in charge since 8 September 2026 and has had time to put his own stamp on this side, who usually begin in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 and then drop into a compact 4-4-2 mid-block when out of possession. This could be a cagey affair, but it could also be open as the Magpies will be keen to press forward and their counter attack should be a weapon for them. The matchup between Wycombe's wingers and Notts' wing-backs could determine who wins
Notts County setup
Martin Paterson's Notts County have been a frustrating side to watch since he took over on 22 June 2025 and has made the most of the structure he has in place. The 3-4-2-1 or 3-5-2 formation is tough to break down and the wing-backs often provide width and the midfield is capable of playing some nifty patterns with the back three.
Paterson's men are in average form at best going into this, with 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats in their last 5, but they'll be encouraged by Wycombe's poor home record in League One 2026/2027. Wycombe's winless start at Adams Park in the league has meant the Chairboys have not yet taken off, although they currently sit 15th with 10 points from 9 matches while Notts are 22nd on 7 from 8.
Notts suffered a 2-1 home loss to Oxford United in their most recent league outing, but they beat Grimsby Town 2-1 at home in the EFL Trophy.
So the attack is working, but a 2-1 home defeat to Oxford United kept the pressure on the hosts in League One 2026/2027.
Wycombe are the more likely winner here, but the odds and both teams' dodgy defensive records suggest we are going to get an edge-of-your-seat encounter rather than a runaway. Over 2.5 goals at 1.8 looks the cleanest bet in this one, with both teams to score a definite possibility at 1.62.
- Jayden Wareham is the danger man to look out for in this fixture with 3 goals in 4 league games,
- Oliver Cooper leads Notts in League One 2026/2027 with 3 goals in 7 games and has been their most trusted finisher over the last five (2 goals).
