Saturday sees a key match in League One as Reading take on the team directly below them in the table, Stockport County in a crucial six-pointer. Will the Royals be the team our prediction backs, or can the Hatters follow up their 4-1 win over these opponents earlier in the season with another win here?

Just three points separates Reading in sixth in the League One table, from Stockport County in seventh. However, the Royals have played one game less (24) than their opponents (25), so a win here would give the home side a comfortable lead over County, with a game in hand too.

Reading have gone four unbeaten in the league with home wins over Northampton (4-1) and Mansfield (2-1) followed by two away games; a 3-1 win at Cambridge and a 0-0 draw at Charlton. They were beaten by Championship title chasers Burnley last weekend 3-1 at home in the FA Cup Third Round.

Stockport's recent form is not the best. Just one win in their last five League One matches (2 draws, 2 losses) has seen Dave Challinor's team fall a little off the pace in the race for the playoff spots. They lost 1-0 away to Crystal Palace last weekend in the FA Cup Third Round, and prior to that were beaten 2-1 at home by Mansfield Town in the league.

Our Reading vs Stockport County FC Prediction

Our prediction for the Reading vs. Stockport County League One match is: Reading wins the match!

Stockport may have won the previous encounter between these teams 4-1, but the teams have changed greatly since then. Reading's recent form is far stronger than Stockport's, especially at home, while County have struggled, particularly on the road and in recent weeks. Both went out of the FA Cup last weekend but the data suggests it will be Reading likely to get back on track here.
