Prediction: 2-2
Stockport County
Grismby Town and Stockport County square off against each other at Blundell Park in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. The Mariners aim to put an end to their four-game winless run and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Danny Amos has joined York City on loan, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Hatters, on the other hand, shared the spoils with Harrogate at the weekend following back-to-back wins over Walsall (3-1) and Doncaster (5-1). Given Stockport County’s attacking potential, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. Midfielder Macauley Southam suffered an injury in a 1-1 draw with Harrogate, with Ibou Touray likely to replace him in the starting eleven. Earlier in the process Stockport County defeated Grimsby Town 3-2 at Edgeley Park.
