Prediction: 1-1
Carlisle
Stockport County welcome Carlisle United to their Edgeley Park on day 16 of the new League Two campaign. Stockport have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating both Bradford City and Salford, while losing to Grimsby, and, one thing is for sure, they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Callum Camps is in the middle of a three-match ban, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Cumbrians, on the other hand, aim to retain their spot in top seven, but beating Stockport on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, a close match is on the horizon, and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. In their last encounter in a competitive match the two sides played out a goalless draw. Talented forward Ryan Edmondson is banned for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Tomas Holy):
Born in the town of Rychnov nad Kneznou, Czechoslovakia, Tomas Holy is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a Goalkeeper for Ipswich Town in League One. The 27-year-old was born on the 10th of December, 1991, and joined FC Hradec Kralove's youth academy in 2006. After spending four years with them, he signed for Sparta Prague and started playing for its B team.
His first professional appearance for AC Sparta Prague B came on the 11th of June, 2011, in a 1-2 home loss against FK Varnsdorf. He went on to ply his trade-in Czech football for the next six years before moving to Gillingham in England on the 20th of January, 2017, on a two and a half year contract. Gillingham's manager praised the 2.06m tall goalkeeper's "large presence" and "ball-kicking ability," stating them as reasons behind his recruitment. In his time at Gillingham, Holy made 107 appearances and kept 25 clean sheets in all competitions.
On the 24th of May, 2019, Holy joined Ipswich on a free transfer and made an immediate impact. He kept six clean sheets in his first ten league games for Ipswich, including a run of five consecutive clean sheets, a club record. Internationally, Holy has capped at the under-16, under-17, and under-18 level for his country but is yet to receive a call up for the first team.
