Stockport County – Wigan

Stockport County host a struggling Wigan side in what promises to be a decisive clash near the top of the table. The County, sitting eighth with nine points from three wins and three defeats and a healthy +6 goal difference, will be looking to extend their recent run of victories. Wigan, languishing at 23rd with just four points from one win, one draw and four losses, have a bleak -6 goal difference and will need to find a spark to avoid slipping further down the standings. Historically the two have met only sparingly this season, but the gap in form and firepower suggests Stockport should have the upper hand in front of their home fans. A win for County could see them close the gap on the playoff places, while Wigan will be desperate for any point to keep their survival hopes alive.
