Cotterill to start with a bang - FREE £20 bet
All change at County again - new manager Steve Cotterill takes the reins for the next chapter in what has been a rollercoaster of a season. The murky background to the club’s finances and behind the scenes management must be put to one side as the team focus on the one goal – promotion. It’s tight in the race for the Play-Off places and County lie 7th with a big chasing pack – Morecambe in 13th placeare only 2 points behind – so a win is a must. A decent first match in charge for Cotterill, at home to Hereford, and he will fancy the side’s chances – County have only lost once at home all season and Hereford have just one victory on the road so odds of 2/1 on for a County win look right. A home banker – get on it. Match betting Notts County win 1/2Draw 14/5Hereford win 11/2 Paddy Power give you a FREE £20 bet when you place your first bet of a tenner.

A thumping 3-0 win to get Cotterill’s reign under way can be backed at 10/1 or if Hughes & co are really up for it, then a repeat of the biggest win of the season against Bradford (5-0) is on offer at a massive 55/1. More cautious fans might see a more tense affair, even against a side in the lower reaches of the League – a nervy 1-0 win is 11/2 but would still be worth a valuable three points Correct score County 1-0 11/2County 2-0 6/1County 2-1 13/2County 3-0 10/1County 3-1 11/1County 4-0 20/1County 5-0 55/1Draw 0-0 17/2Draw 1-1 6/1 Additionally, with Hereford having such a poor away record, you can back County to win without conceding a goal – Hereford have only scored 13 times in 15 matches so a win to nil at 6/4 also looks good value. Plus, good money should be on County scoring early to settle the nerves and opening up a comfortable victory – check out the odds on time of 1st goal: Time of 1st goal 1-10 mins 7/211-20 mins 4/121-30 mins 5/131-40 mins 13/241 mins - Half Time 11/146-55 mins 15/256-65 mins 12/166-75 mins 14/176-85 mins 19/186 mins – Full Time 30/1No goal 17/2 Back the County to win in style – a FREE £20 bet awaits with Paddy Power.
