Two of the top five in League One meet on Boxing Day. Stockport County are fifth in the table and can go level on points with visitors Lincoln City if they can win this match. Read our match prediction below.
Stockport County came from behind to win at Mansfield last weekend. That was their second win in three league games with one loss in their last four. That sole defeat came at home when being beaten by Stevenage 3-1.
Home form is a bit of a worry for County with just one point from the last three league fixtures. They have only scored 11 home league goals this season and just five sides in League One have scored fewer this season.
Lincoln City are only three points behind leaders Cardiff City, who they beat 2-1 at home last Saturday. Three of their last four matches in League One have been won with ten points being earned.
City have won three away league matches this season but only scored ten goals with 12 conceded. Away form is a concern at present with only two points from their last four league games. Most recently they drew 2-2 at Blackpool after leading 2-0.
We suggest a double chance bet on Lincoln to win or draw.
