Sunday 4th January 2026, 1500hrs (GMT)
Notts County’s winless run in League Two was extended to four games following a disappointing 1-0 loss at home to Accrington Stanley but nevertheless, Sunday’s hosts still remain in the play-off pack with Martin Paterson’s side siting in 7th place.
Previous draws with Walsall and MK Dons along with an earlier loss to local rivals Chesterfield have seen Notts County involved in a tricky run of fixtures recently in the domestic fourth tier but The Magpies have a great opportunity to set the record straight at home against 16th placed Gillingham.
Notts County had strung together three league wins on the trot beforehand with victories gained over Bristol Rovers, MK Dons and Grimsby Town, so the hosts will be keen to return to winning ways on Sunday.
Gillingham currently occupy a place in the bottom half of the League Two table in 16th place after the Kent club have failed to win any of their last 10 matches overall which consists of seven draws and three defeats.
The best that The Gills can hope for therefore at Meadow Lane appears to be a point while the visitors’ record on their travels so far this season of 3-5-4 15/16 suggests Gareth Ainsworth’s side would be more than happy to settle for a point against their high-flying hosts.
Gillingham’s last success in League Two came in the form of a 1-0 win away from home at Bristol Rovers but having collected just one win from their last 18 matches in all competitions, The Gills will do well to gain even a point in this one.
The Betting Verdict
Notts County’s recent mini slump has been understandable but the hosts look in good shape to bounce back with a win here.
The Pick :
Notts Co 2-1 Gillingham
