Stockport County will be eager to continue their impressive League One campaign when they entertain struggling Blackpool at Edgeley Park on Saturday afternoon. The Hatters suffered a midweek blip with a 3-1 defeat to Salford City in the EFL Trophy, but their league form remains strong and consistent under boss Dave Challinor.
The hosts have put together a solid four-match unbeaten run in the third tier, collecting notable away victories at Rotherham United and Huddersfield Town, while also producing resilient displays on home soil. That form has lifted Stockport to 7th place in the standings, just one point outside the play-off positions, and with several of their rivals inactive this weekend, they have an ideal opportunity to climb as high as 4th with a win here.
By contrast, Blackpool’s season has been one of turbulence and frustration. A poor start led to the dismissal of Steve Bruce, and The Seasiders have managed just two wins from their opening eleven games, leaving them entrenched in the relegation zone. A 2-2 draw at home to Luton Town last time out offered a glimpse of improvement, but it was sandwiched between defeats to Bradford City and AFC Wimbledon, and the visitors’ confidence remains fragile.
Away from Bloomfield Road, Blackpool’s form has been particularly concerning. The Seasiders have lost all five of their league outings on the road, conceding 13 goals while scoring only three in return — a record that hardly inspires optimism ahead of this trip to a confident and well-organised Stockport side.
The Betting Verdict
Stockport County are in good rhythm and look well capable of maintaining their promotion push against a Blackpool outfit who have struggled for results away from home.
The Pick :
Stockport Co 2-1 Blackpool
