Preview: Maidenhead United vs. Notts County - prediction, team news, lineups

sportsmole.co.uk, 8 December 2022, 11:02
Notts County will be looking to keep their grip at the top of the National League on Saturday when they make the journey to York Road to face Maidenhead United.

The hosts are sat in mid-table at the moment, but they come into this game with plenty of confidence due to the fact they are on a five-match undefeated run.

Match preview

Maidenhead United will be hoping to see their impressive run of form continue this Saturday as they have not lost a match since the start of November.

Despite that, the team will be aware their previous defeat took place against another club that is searching for promotion in the form of Wrexham.

Alan Devonshire will not be overly concerned by that though as his men have been far more impressive at York Road, as they have only lost three matches at home in comparison to the seven they have sustained on the road.

Maidenhead shared the points against Dorking Wanderers in their last outing with Remy Clerima scoring a second-half equaliser to secure the 1-1 result.

A victory has the possibility of moving the club to just a point away from the play-off positions as well, providing the team with plenty to fight for.

The visitors also cannot afford to slip up right now due to how close things are at the top of the table as they are battling Wrexham in an attempt to win the league.

Notts County are just a point ahead of the Welsh club at the moment, so any errors could lead to them losing their spot at the top of the table.

Luke Williams has brought the best out of his team this season in terms of their attacking qualities as they have scored an impressive 53 goals already.

That was on full display last weekend when they faced Scunthorpe United as Notts County secured three points with a 4-1 win with each goalscorer being completely different.

The Magpies secured a 3-0 win the last time the two teams met earlier this season, which should bring plenty of confidence heading into this one.

Team News

Maidenhead United fans are still patiently awaiting the return of Will De Havilland to the team following his recent injury, and he is expected to be back anytime now.

Meanwhile Clerima will more thank likely retain his place in the team after he managed to get on the score sheet during their previous outing.

For the visitors, there is little reason to make any adjustments to the starting XI after securing a 4-1 win against Scunthorpe, showcasing quality across the park.

However, Cedwyn Scott will be hoping that he can push his way into the Magpies team after he got himself a goal off the bench in that match.

Maidenhead United possible starting lineup:

Gyollai; Asare, De Havilland, Smith; Clerima, Massey, Nathaniel-George, Barratt; Ferdinand, Adams, Acquah

Notts County possible starting lineup:

Slocombe; Chicksen, Baldwin, Cameron, Adebayo-Rowling; Palmer, Austin, Scott, Brindley; Langstaff, Rodrigues

We say: Maidenhead United 0-3 Notts County

Maidenhead United are in the best possible position heading into one of the toughest matches of the season due to their recent undefeated run.

Despite that, this is still going to be a very tough task for the hosts due to the quality of Notts County, as their attacking abilities should help them take all three points.
