Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Stockport County hosts Reading in a postponed League One clash, with the Hatters keen to put an end to their four-game winless run. The hosts face a tough test, especially with the likes of Will Collar, Ryan Rydel, Kyle Knoyle, and Macauley Southam-Hales sidelined due to injuries, while Callum Camps remains doubtful. Stockport will likely rely on their home crowd’s support to regain form and get back on course in the English third tier.
Reading, on the other hand, hav been struggling on the road, suffering three defeats in their last four away games. Despite their recent issues, the Royals will be motivated to exploit Stockport’s injury troubles. However, they too are dealing with absences, with both Andy Yiadom and Jeriel Dorsett ruled out due to injuries. Given the current form and squad challenges for both sides, this could prove to be a tightly contested encounter. Anyhow, we predict that the hosts are going to take advantage of Reading's difficulties on the travels.
