Team news
- Jimmy Knowles Out
- Leo Farrell Out
Knowles, the club's top scorer, is reported out until around February; Pharrell Brown was added to the squad, which is not an absence.
No absences reported
A preview from today says Notts County have a clean bill of health and Callum Roberts should be back in attack; an undated club-linked injury page lists Dean Campbell and Emile Acquah as out, which conflicts with that and could not be dated, so I have not listed them.
Allowing for this news: Altrincham 17%, draw 23%, Notts County 61% (xG 0.92 – 1.94). This adjustment is being tested in the track record and isn't used in the prediction above yet.
Found by an AI web search, which found little recent news, so treat this with care. Reports can be wrong or out of date. Sources: livescore.com, fubo.tv, nottscountynews.co.uk, altrinchamfc.com

Corners
Most corners
Corner totals are hard to call: over 9.5 the model's log loss is 0.685 against 0.693 for a naive guess, across 30,937 past matches. Which side wins more corners is called much better.
Cards
Over 4.5 cards, the model's log loss is 0.653 against 0.682 for a naive guess, across 33,146 past matches. The referee matters a lot and isn't in the model.
