Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Stockport County & Chesterfield face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the FA Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
The visiting Chesterfield played their last game only four days ago, a Vanarama National League match. That game, against Wealdstone, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Chesterfield.
Stockport County form and stats
Stockport participated in FA Cup the last season, where they reached the 4th round qualifying.As mentioned below, Stockport County are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Vanarama National League games. With a nice streak brewing from their home games, Stockport County are also looking for their fifth consecutive victory regardless of location. Two home wins in a row for Stockport bring valid hopes of a third.
It's back home for Stockport, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Chesterfield away with the result 2-1. M. Kitching and A. Reid found the net in that victory. In the preceding match a 5-2 victory visiting Wealdstone.
Manager J. Gannon felt very clever after A. Reid scored the winning goal against Chesterfield, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 72nd minute.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Stockport County matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, zero draws and one defeat (from three games).
The match schedule is unforgiving for Stockport County as they have a new game in only three days, a Vanarama National League match thankfully also at home. Solihull Moors are visiting.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Stockport County at home in the league. 5 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Chesterfield form and stats
Chesterfield's mission in FA Cup last season failed in the 4th round qualifying replays.It's not happening yet for Chesterfield on their Vanarama National League travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three has not been a lucky number for Chesterfield as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Woking match. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Chesterfield are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Chesterfield play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 2-3 to Wealdstone. A 1-2 loss hosting Stockport County before that.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Chesterfield playing away, we found three games. Results were one away win, zero draws and two home wins.
The schedule is very tough for Chesterfield now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Vanarama National League game at Macclesfield Town is waiting in only three days.
3 goals so far away for Chesterfield, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 5. All from 2 league matches away.
