Wrexham vs Stockport County Prediction & Preview

Preview

This Saturday, the Racecourse Ground in Wrexham sets the stage for a thrilling League Two showdown as Wrexham host league leaders Stockport County. With both teams in spectacular form, this clash could be pivotal in shaping the top of the table dynamics.

Wrexham, under Phil Parkinson’s guidance, have been formidable at home and come off an impressive 3-0 victory against Crewe Alexandra. Currently sitting third with 85 points, they’ve secured four wins from their last five matches and have been particularly strong defensively at home, conceding just 0.4 goals per game on average.

Stockport County, led by Dave Challinor, are not only topping the league with 92 points but also boast an impeccable recent record of five consecutive wins. Their last outing saw them overcome Accrington Stanley with a scoreline of 4-2 at Edgeley Park. The team has shown relentless attacking prowess both at home and away, averaging 2.67 goals per game on their travels.

The recent head-to-head record slightly favors Stockport County with three wins to Wrexham’s two in their last five meetings; notably including a dominant 5-0 victory over Wrexham earlier this season.

Both sides exhibit high-scoring habits which suggest we could be in for an action-packed encounter—Wrexham averages 2.3 goals per match overall while Stockport edges ahead slightly with an average of 2.8.

Bet

Given both teams' propensity to find the back of the net and their recent forms that see them rarely dropping points or scoring low numbers—especially considering Stockport’s robust away scoring stats (averaging nearly three goals per game)—the recommended bet here would be Over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.75. This choice aligns well not only with statistical backing but also offers reasonable value given how frequently both sides exceed that goal mark per match.
