Stockport hosts Walsall this weekend, where they will expect to pick up three points. That said, they will be motivated to do so after losing to this weekend’s opponent 2-1 in the reverse fixture.
Stockport
The Hatters will be looking to climb up to League One this season, and they are on course to achieve that so far. Stockport are the current leaders in League Two after winning 15 of their 26 matches. They’ve only conceded one goal per game on average, while netting 2.04, the third highest number per game.
However, their form has dipped in recent weeks, and they’re now three games without a win. Their most recent match was a 2-0 defeat to Mansfield in a top-of-the table clash. The Hatters dominated the ball, but they were vulnerable on the break.
Walsall
Walsall are one of the most in-form teams in League Two at the moment, with the side winning five of their last six matches. The Saddlers now sit in 13th, thanks to that run. However, they don’t particularly excel at either end of the field, scoring 39 goals and conceding 36 in 25 matches.
Having said that, they found their shooting boots last time out as they cruised to a huge 6-1 away win against Grimsby, despite going behind early on. Isaac Hutchinson was the star of the show, scoring a brace and setting one up.
Verdict?
Walsall will give Stockport a game this weekend, especially with the form of the two sides being so different. However, the Hatters could just steal all three points.
The final prediction is Stockport 2-1 Walsall.
