Notts County host relegation strugglers Scunthorpe United on Saturday the 25th March as they still harbour hopes of title success.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Currently just three points off high flying Wrexham in first place, victory here and a slip up by the Welsh side could give that boost to manager Luke Williams that is so desperately needed. It might just also swing the title charge in his side’s favour.<\/span><\/p>\n
Notts County are currently unbeaten in four games and will be looking to take advantage of their excellent home form at Meadow Lane.<\/span><\/p>\n
A disappointing 1-1 draw to Barnet last weekend away from home slightly dampened the mood for the Magpies faithful but expect them to be back in full voice this time around.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
However Scunthorpe are coming off an impressive result of their own with a 4-1 thrashing of Wealdstone last Saturday.The Irons have not tasted victory away from home since the 25th of January though so any result here would come as a shock to National League fans.<\/span><\/p>\n

He is even ahead of the goalscorning sensation Paul Mullin, who plays for Wrexham and has hit an inferior 31 goals so far this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1244128384\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.66667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/1244128384?et=QA41RK4vQD5kL7EddInu2g&tld=com&sig=bNKn_T-tYTnwep46vi_Qv2lGy5yhX_UMYsjAVisnJfk=&caption=true&ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It would be unfair to Notts County to say Longstaff has got them to where they are this season but his goals have no doubt been a shining light for the Magpies in this spectacular year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Longstaff will be expected to add to that tally against Scunthrope\u2019s leaky defence and inspire the Magpies to another victory on home territory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notts County are one of the highest scorers in league play this season and expect them to add to this tally against a Scunthrope defence who have conceded a woeful 71 goals so far this term.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add to the fact that Notts County have scored 97 goals in league play so far this season, the stats portray a game in which Notts County take the initiative and make their star quality count.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scunthorpe have quality of their own however with Joe Nuttal, who has dragged his side out of tough situations on multiple occasions this season.
