Cardiff City host Stockport County in a top of the table League One clash on Saturday lunchtime. Will our prediction for the match back the home side Bluebirds to take the win, or can County secure a vital three points to keep themselves very much in touch with their hosts in the battle for promotion?
Brian Barry Murphy's Yr Adar Gleison have cemented their place at the top of the table of late, opening up a six-point gap between themselves and Lincoln City in second. They have 55 points from their 26 games. They face Dave Challinor's Hatters who lie fourth in the table with 45 points from their 26 matches so far. They are four points behind Lincoln in the final automatic promotion spot.
Cardiff's recent L1 form has been excellent. They started the year with a 1-1 draw away to Wycombe before beating Wigan Athletic 1-0 at home. A 1-1 draw away to Leyton Orient followed before last weekend's huge game away to Bradford City, which they won 2-1.
Since losing 1-0 away to Reading, Stockport have rattled off three wins in a row. A 1-0 home win over Huddersfield in the league was followed by a 2-1 Football League Trophy home win over Harrogate Town. Then this past weekend, they earned an exciting 3-2 win at home to Rotherham United.
