Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Stevenage will be aiming to build on a 2-1 win over Tranmere when they take on Stockport County in the League Two round 2. The Boro proved their worth in the season opener, but keep in mind that midfielder Elliott List limped off with injury in the first half. His replacement Jordan Roberts eventually scored the winner, and, as a result, the 28-year-old midfielder should keep his place in the starting XI.
The newcomers, on the other hand, did not seem to be competitive at this level on their League Two debut, with the team suffering a 3-2 loss to Barrow on home soil. Given their shaky defence, we predict that Stevenage are going to give fans yet another reason for celebration on Saturday. You should know that the two sides have not met in the League Two since April 2011 when they played out a 2-2 draw.
