Cheltenham vs Notts County Match Preview Prediction and Team News
Cheltenham Town is set to face Notts County in a crucial League Two match on Monday. Under new management from Steve Cotterill, Cheltenham has experienced a revival, climbing out of the relegation zone.
Cheltenham Town’s Resurgence
After a challenging start to the season, Cheltenham found themselves at the bottom of the league. Their previous manager, Michael Flynn, was dismissed after a series of poor results. After a 7-1 loss to Grimsby Town, the club appointed Cotterill, a former player and legend, to stabilize the team.
Since his arrival, the Robins have gone unbeaten in their last four League Two matches, securing three victories and one draw. They recently knocked out League One’s Bradford City from the FA Cup, further boosting their confidence ahead of the match against Notts County.

Notts County’s Challenges
Notts County currently sits in eighth place, just five points behind the league leaders, Walsall. However, their recent performances in the FA Cup and EFL Trophy have been disappointing. They suffered a penalty shootout loss to Brackley Town and were defeated by Manchester United Under-21s.
Despite these setbacks, Notts County has displayed strong home form with five wins and one draw in League Two. Their away record, however, reveals two victories, two draws, and three defeats, raising concerns about their upcoming clash.
Team News
Cheltenham enters this match with minimal injury concerns. Left-back George Harmon has returned to action but may not start. Isaac Hutchinson is the standout player, contributing four goals this season.
Notts County’s defense will be impacted by the absence of Rod MacDonald due to injury. Matty Platt, who missed earlier matches, might return for his first league start since August.
