Stockport County form and stats

7 victories, 7 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Stockport County, who have the fewest conceded goals (10) at home in National League, have to build on here at Edgeley Park in the National League. Two draws in a row at home now for Stockport.

The Stockport goalkeeper Ben Hinchiffe is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 196 minutes without conceding a goal in the National League.

It's back home for Stockport County, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Wrexham away with the result 3-0. J. Rooney and A. Reid (2) found the net in that victory. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Bromley that ended 0-0.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Stockport as they have a new game in only four days, a National League match thankfully also at home. Maidenhead United are visiting.

Stockport are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 20 goals in 16 games. From these home matches, Stockport have conceded only 10 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

King's Lynn Town form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for King's Lynn Town so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 3-1-10 (win-draw-lose). It's all red in the travel logs of King's, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.

King's Lynn Town might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Chesterfield proved too strong as King's slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at The Walks. Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Altrincham.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The National League trip to Halifax Town.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting King's as they have only managed to score 13 times from 14 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. King's Lynn Town have conceded 33 goals in these games.
