Key Men
With 9 goals so far this season, Richard Butcher has emerged as Notts main threat this season. The ex-Peterborough man does not light the game up but he finds those spaces around the area and with 9 goals so far he is a midfield player with an eye for goal. Brentford will have to be wary of Butcher’s runs into the area because he as the ability to score goal around the edge of the area.
Brentford midfield player Glenn Poole will be the danger man on Tuesday night. The Brentford player has scored 8 goals so far this season in his 22 appearances and will always try his luck with 65 shots at goals this season. Notts will have to keep a close eye on him
Prediction
We at www.youpies.co.uk think this will be a tough game for the magpies. Notts don't play so well in the capital city and with Brentford loosing more than half of their home games this will be a close game. So we think the score will be
Brentford 1-1 Notts County
