Stockport to extend good run

Stockport have pushed themselves into the playoff spots thanks to a run of four wins from five in League One, a streak which looks set to continue when they visit Port Vale on Monday night.

The hosts are unfortunate to be hovering just outside of the drop zone, as they’ve got the second-highest Expected Points tally in the league. However, they’re underperforming their xG of 18.5 significantly, scoring only 11 times.

The hosts have suffered six defeats from 13 games this term, including three defeats in six at home. They’ve failed to win any of their previous three, while they meet a Stockport side who look ready to kick into another gear.

In the six league games since their 4-2 defeat to Plymouth, Stockport have conceded only three times. They’ve won the xG battle in all six games, in many cases they’ve been dominant in terms of chances created.

They’ve generated 10.72 xG in those six games, conceding only 4.33 in return. With Port Vale already struggling to convert their chances, back them to fall short against Stockport.
