The visiting Stockport County side should be favourites in this visit to Fylde, as the away team holds a 11 point advantage from their 27 league games this season.

It's no vacation for neither Fylde nor Stockport County as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
