Stockport vs Stevenage Prediction: Hosts To Complete Job And Book Wembley Berth
A look at Wednesday’s clash between Stockport County and Stevenage, with William Hill News previewing the second leg of this League One playoff double header.
Stockport bring a narrow advantage into the semi-final thanks to a stoppage-time goal from Ben Osborn after a defensive error, and another intense match is in store at Edgeley Park.
- Score prediction: Stockport 1-0 Stevenage
With Saturday’s 1-0 triumph at Lamex Stadium, the Hatters should be happy to be in the lead, but it was a tentative game with just 14 shots and only four on goal.
Stevenage should want to keep things tight and compact and play for chances on the counter attack, although Stockport controlled possession, which should happen again at home.
Stockport v Stevenage Odds:
- Stockport – 17/20
- Draw – 23/10
- Stevenage – 3/1
Despite their lack of firepower, Boro scored just 49 goals in 46 league games. However, they were excellent defensively, with only winners Lincoln giving up fewer goals than their 46 in the regular campaign.
Due to their practical approach, Alex Revell’s team frequently plays low-scoring games; in ten of their last twelve games, there have been two or less goals.
Stockport will be optimistic about finishing the job because they have won ten of their past 13 home games and only lost two – so supporters will be quietly confident of booking their trip down to Wembley Stadium.
Take Stockport to repeat the feat with another 1-0 victory because Stevenage has lost eight of their previous 12 away games and could be vulnerable if they have to chase the tie.
