First Prediction For Stockport County vs Wrexham – Match result – Draw – 2.18/1
There’s very little between these two sides – Stockport are sixth and Wrexham third. Both were expected to do well after being promoted last season, and both have started relatively well. Stockport will come into the game on the back of an outrageous 5-0 hammering of Bolton, and they’ll have some momentum. However, Wrexham are in fine form as well, and it is hard to see a clear winner between the two.
Second Prediction For Stockport County vs Wrexham – Both teams to score – Yes – 4/6
Stockport are the third-highest home scorers in the division, courtesy of the Bolton thrashing, but they’ve got a great set of attacking options and can create goals from nothing. They are also susceptible at home – their game prior to Bolton was a 5-0 home defeat against Wycombe. The fact that they scored five and conceded five in the last 180 minutes of football suggests that both teams should score. Wrexham don’t travel particularly well, and this will be their fourth away game in five outings, but they do have goals in them.
Third Prediction For Stockport County vs Wrexham – Goals – Over 1.5 – 1/4
It’s got 1-1 written all over it. Wrexham struggle to score away from home – they’ve hit the net just six times away from the Racecourse Ground, but Stockport do leak goals. Only Crawley, Peterborough and Shrewsbury have let in more home goals this season. That said, both sides are riding high, and while there are sure to be goals, there’s enough quality at either end to ensure this finishes 1-1. If it isn’t a 1-1 draw, expect it to be higher than two goals, rather than lower – these two teams always seem to produce two or more goals, in every fixture for the last 12 years.

Full Preview of the Game: Last Results and Head-To-Head
This is a tasty clash between the real League Two champions of 23/24, and the team that behaved like they’d won it. Wrexham were the story of the season, thanks to the Hollywood connection, and in all the fanfare of their promotion, it got lost that Stockport actually won the title. The Hatters are back in the third tier for the first time in more than a decade, having been relegated from the Football League in 2011 and spending time in the Northern Premier. They’re back with a bang and are among the favourites for promotion this season.
Wrexham are in the same boat, although they never dropped out of the National League. They grab the headlines because of their owner, but Phil Parkinson has put together a tough, functional League One side and, this season, hasn’t spent massively either. Both teams expect to be in the top six at the end of the season, and this is just another chapter of a rivalry born in the fifth tier of English football. The Red Dragons haven’t won at Stockport since 2012, but recent fixtures between the two have seen goals – Stockport won 5-0 last season, and fixtures have had two or more on every occasion since 2012, a run stretching back 12 matches.
