Football : England: League One
Venue: Edgeley Park

---

Next up is a top five clash in League One between hosts, Stockport County, and 2nd placed visitors Lincoln City as they meet at Edgeley Park on Boxing Day with Stockport County having won two of their last three matches in the English third tier.

Despite suffering a 3-1 loss at home to Stevenage, wins either side of that defeat against Doncaster Rovers and Mansfield Town, both away from home, will still give Dave Challinor’s side plenty of confidence heading into this upcoming encounter.

Stockport County actually possess the best record away from home in the division right now but results on home soil at Edgeley Park have been more modest as The Hatters’ home record of 4-3-3 11/12 indicate but the hosts will be keen to make home advantage count in this one.

Lincoln City bring a three-match unbeaten run in League One into this Boxing Day tussle as The Imps have registered recent wins against Barnsley and Cardiff City along with a point gained in a draw with Blackpool.

The visitors have actually picked up four wins within their last six games in the third tier which includes previous victories at the expense of Doncaster Rovers and Port Vale but it is worth noting that all four of these wins were achieved on home soil at Sincil Bank.

However, Michael Skubala’s side have tended to struggle on the road away from their home surroundings and indeed, Lincoln City have failed to win any of their last five outings on their travels within an ordinary looking away record that stands at 3-3-4 10/12 overall to date.
