Notts County
Swindon Town
Notts County produced a gutsy comeback victory at Meadow Lane, overturning Ollie Clarke's opener with two goals in 27 minutes to claim a crucial three points in their League Two survival battle. Alassana Jatta's equalizer just before half-time shifted momentum dramatically, before substitute Matthew Dennis provided the decisive moment within seven minutes of his introduction. The Magpies showed impressive resilience after falling behind, with their attacking substitutions proving the difference as they moved further away from the relegation zone. For Swindon, this represented a missed opportunity to build on their recent form, as they failed to hold onto their early advantage despite Clarke's well-taken goal.
Second-placed Swindon Town travel to Meadow Lane to face eighth-placed Notts County in a League Two encounter with promotion implications. The Magpies will be looking to build on recent home form against a Swindon side that has shown vulnerability in recent matches despite their lofty league position.
