Notts County will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 4 points behind Stockport County.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Notts County form and stats
Notts County have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the National League. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.
County faced defeat in their previous match, away at Aldershot Town (0-1). Preceding that match was the home game against Maidenhead United that was lost 2-3.
This is expected to be a close game, with County perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Notts County as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Notts County has won two of these, drawn six and lost five.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for County, as the National League home game vs Macclesfield Town is only three days away.
County are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here in their league games, having scored an impressive 9 goals in 3 matches. Notts County are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (6 from 3 played).
Stockport County form and stats
Stockport County have six points from their first three away games in the National League, meaning two victories and a loss. Momentum is building for Stockport in their away games, having won their two previous outings.
Stockport play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Rochdale. That result followed a home victory 4-0 versus Chesterfield (after extra-time, 6-7 on penalties).
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Stockport County playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were zero Stockport County wins, five draws and three defeats.
The schedule is very tough for Stockport now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A National League game at Dagenham & Redbridge is waiting in only three days.
The Stockport County manager J. Gannon has got the team scoring on the road, with 7 away goals in 3 league matches. Stockport have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.
