Notts. County prepare to entertain Rushden & Diamonds at Meadow Lane on Saturday afternoon, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Out of their two previous meetings, the Magpies have drawn one game and lost the other.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Meadow Lane was less than a year ago, in February 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Two match.
