Notts County come into this on the back of a 1-0 away win over Chesterfield, and that result gives them a clear recent reference point for how this tie can be managed. With no injuries reported for either side and both teams using familiar shapes, the game looks set to be decided by small margins rather than major tactical surprises. Notts County’s recent results also show a couple of low-scoring wins and a draw, which points towards a tight contest at Meadow Lane.
Chesterfield have still been winning games in their recent run, but they were beaten 1-0 by Notts County in the latest meeting and that may shape the approach here. Their last five league matches include three wins, so they are not arriving short of confidence, but the head-to-head data suggests Notts County have had the edge in the most recent fixture.

Form Guide & Team Overview
Notts County

Chesterfield
Chesterfield’s recent league form is stronger on paper, with three wins, one draw and one defeat in their last five. They beat Swindon Town 2-1 away, Crewe Alexandra 2-0 at home and Grimsby Town 2-1 at home, which shows they have been able to find results in different settings.
Their only defeat in that run was the 1-0 loss to Notts County, so they have still been competitive even when beaten. The 1-1 draw with Fleetwood Town also fits a run that has generally been productive, but the latest head-to-head loss is the key recent marker.

Lineups & Tactical Setup
Notts County (3-4-2-1)
Predicted lineup: James Belshaw (Goalkeeper), Jacob Bedeau (Defender), Lucas Ness (Defender), Rod McDonald (Defender), Jodi Jones (Midfielder), Nick Tsaroulla (Midfielder), Oliver Norburn (Midfielder), Scott Robertson (Midfielder), Alassana Jatta (Attacker), Jayden Luker (Attacker), Tom Iorpenda (Attacker)
Notts County’s predicted 3-4-2-1 gives them a solid base at the back, with the wing-backs able to support both the defensive line and the attack. That shape should also allow Alassana Jatta and the two players behind him to stay close enough to Chesterfield’s defence to create pressure in the final third.
Chesterfield (4-2-3-1)
Predicted lineup: Ryan Boot (Goalkeeper), Kyle McFadzean (Defender), Lewis Gordon (Defender), S. Curtis (Defender), Sil Swinkels (Defender), Armando Dobra (Midfielder), Dilan Markanday (Midfielder), Liam Mandeville (Midfielder), Ryan Stirk (Midfielder), Sammy Braybrooke (Midfielder), Lee Bonis (Attacker)
Chesterfield’s predicted 4-2-3-1 offers a more traditional structure, with two holding midfielders helping to protect the back four. It also gives Lee Bonis a clear focal point up front, while the three players behind him can look to supply him between the lines.
Key Battles & Players to Watch
| Notts County | Chesterfield | Key Battle Overview |
|---|---|---|
| Notts County | Chesterfield | Alassana Jatta against Kyle McFadzean looks important because Notts County’s main attacking threat will need to be handled well by Chesterfield’s experienced defender. |
| Notts County | Chesterfield | Jodi Jones against Armando Dobra could matter in the spaces between midfield and attack, where both sides will want to create their best openings. |
| Notts County | Chesterfield | Alassana Jatta is key for Notts County because he is the central attacking reference in their predicted shape and featured in the recent win over Chesterfield. |
| Notts County | Chesterfield | Lee Bonis is key for Chesterfield because he is the lone striker in their 4-2-3-1 and the main outlet for turning midfield support into chances. |
