Surging Stockport County can ensure a playoff spot in League One with a point or more from their home game against already relegated Port Vale. A hectic run of fixtures sees the Valiants likely to be very tired as they come into what will be their sixth league game in the space of two weeks against an in-form Hatters. What will our prediction be for what looks like being a tough game for the visitors?
Currently, Stockport County lie fourth in the League One table with 74 points, just one point behind Bolton but with this game in hand. They have the same number of points as Bradford, two more than Stevenage and three more than Luton who are the first team outside the playoffs. Port Vale are 23rd in the table with 39 points from their 44 games and are confirmed as relegated.
Stockport's recent form sees Dave Challinor's men in good form. A 2-0 win at AFC Wimbledon was followed by a 3-3 draw away to Exeter City. County then did lose 1-0 at home to in-form Mansfield but bounced back at the weekend with a 3-1 home win over Peterborough.
Port Vale have had an onerous schedule of games to catch up on matches missed due to their FA Cup run. Recent results include a 3-1 win at Peterborough and a 0-0 draw at home to Wigan. They were then beaten 1-0 at Cardiff and then 2-1 at Plymouth at the weekend.
