Stockport County

DWWDWL

Stockport County will be looking to improve on their last outing here after the 1-0 League One losing effort in their last game against Bradford City.

Antoni Sarcevic (48') scored for Bradford City.

Their latest results really do illustrate the point that it has been a great time for the Stockport County backline. Stockport County have been mean at the back, resulting in the tally of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper over the course of their last 6 matches standing at 4. With no two games being the same, we will just have to wait and see if that trend shall be maintained in this next match.

Looking at their past form shows that Stockport County:

• have not lost a league tie with Wigan Athletic in their last 4 matches.
• are unbeaten in their previous 5 league matches at home.

Wigan Athletic

LLLLLW

Wigan head into the encounter after a 1-0 League One win as they beat Luton Town in their last fixture.

The only player to score from Wigan Athletic was Joe Taylor (73').

A number of pretty dire efforts from the Wigan Athletic defensive players has resulted in a total of 18 goals being given up by them in only their past 6 fixtures. They definitely need to see an improvement in this unimpressive aspect of their game.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Wigan Athletic:

• remain unbeaten by Stockport County when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 4 league games.

↔️ Head to head

ℹ️ Team News: Stockport County

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Stockport County gaffer Dave Challinor to contend with due to a largely intact group. Louie Barry (Knee injury) is out of contention.

🔮 Prediction

In our opinion, Stockport County have it within them to get the goals that they need when they line up against Wigan Athletic, who will be up against it to get a goal of their own.

We can therefore see a 2-0 margin for Stockport County by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
