Key Men

The key man for Notts has to be Lee Hughes. He has been in fantastic form so far this season and with 19 league goals already this season the Bournemouth defence will have to keep a close eye on Lee from start to finish.
Bournemouth striker Brett Pitman is the one to watch .He has been in top form so far, this season contributing 15 goals in the league this season. The Notts defence will have to keep an eye on him to stop him adding to this total.

 

Prediction

We at www.magpieweb.co.uk think this will be a close game.
It is also a game if Notts are to keep the promotion push going they must not loose.
Bournemouth do not score many goals at home and you have to go as far down has 23rd in the table Grimsby to find a club with a worse record for scoring at home than Bournemouth. They do have a mean defence at home with the fourth best in the league.
Notts on the other hand have the best away defence in the league and the joint second best attack.
So given all the facts we think the score will be

Bournemouth 1-2 Notts County
