Salford City vs Stockport Predictions

• Stockport are unbeaten in 13 games.
• Salford have three defeats in their last four at home
• Stockport took four points from the League Two games between these sides.

County the form team

Stockport entered the campaign as the favourites to win League Two after winning promotion last season but ultimately had to settle for a place in the play-offs.

County come up against local rivals Salford in the play-off semi-finals, and they can take a step towards Wembley by winning away from home in their first leg on Saturday.

Salford managed to keep hold of their top seven place despite losing to Gillingham in their final game of the regular season. The Ammies lost three of their final four home games and Stockport should come into the game full of confidence as they look to extend a 13-game unbeaten run.

The Hatters won at this venue back in October, claiming a 2-0 win, and the two sides played out a 1-1 draw at Edgeley Park in March.

Only four points separated these sides in the final standings but Stockport’s superior defence might just prove the difference over the course of the two legs and they can come away from Salford with a win.

County only conceded 37 goals in 46 games, while Salford shipped 54, and the hosts failed to score in three of their final four at home.

A 2-0 win for the visitors is the correct score prediction as Stockport have four clean sheets in their last six away from home (W4, D2), and they averaged exactly two goals-per-game over their final six games.
