- Venue: Edgeley Park (Stockport)
Two teams with promotion aspirations will face off at Edgeley Park as Stockport County hosts Wrexham in Saturday’s League One action.
As fourth-tier champions last season, Stockport County are determined to continue their rise through the leagues, aiming to end a two-decade-long wait for a return to the Championship. The team coached by Dave Challinor stands out as one of the few sides with 15 third-tier appearances, and their decent record of six wins, six draws, and three setbacks places them in the final playoff spot. Despite being on the losing end of a 0-2 scoreline against Tranmere midweek, the Hatters clinched their qualification to the knockout rounds of the EFL Trophy as group winners.
Despite falling short of the League Two title by just four points to Stockport last season, Wrexham's second-place finish marked a triumphant return to England's third tier after a 20-year absence, and now they’re setting their sights on securing yet another promotion. Led by Phil Parkinson, the squad has proven their commitment to climbing up the ranks by gathering a good 28 points, currently sitting an admirable third position, only two points shy of Birmingham, who currently hold the last spot for direct promotion.
Stockport County vs Wrexham Betting Tips : AH1 (0)
While Wrexham has undoubtedly kicked off their third-tier campaign on stronger footing than their Saturday hosts, they’ve struggled to translate that home ground momentum when playing on hostile turf, which raises doubts about their ability to unsettle a resilient Stockport side. The team’s record on the road is a worrying one, with only one victory and four defeats over the last seven matches, showing the difficulties the Red Dragons encounter when they play away from home.
Hopes for a positive shift this weekend seem bleak, especially considering Wrexham's tough run at Edgeley Park in recent years, where they were outclassed by Stockport on every occasion in their last three visits, suffering a brutal aggregate score of 1-9. The Hatters brought a surge of optimism to their fans ahead of Saturday’s clash, having netted five unanswered goals past Bolton in their latest League One outing, and they will look to capitalize on their rival’s travel struggles to make it a fourth win on the bounce against Wrexham on home soil.

Wrexham team news
In contrast to their Saturday hosts, Wrexham are facing more injury concerns, with George Evans, James Jones, Jack Marriott, and former Marseille striker Steven Fletcher all currently sidelined in the recovery room.
Will Boyle and Luke Bolton are the latest additions to the injury list after picking up knocks in midweek's EFL Trophy match against Tranmere, and their conditions will need to be assessed.
The Red Dragons face a tough blow as Arthur Okonkwo has been ruled out for a minimum of six weeks due to a broken wrist, leaving either Callum Burton or Mark Howard to take over as goalkeeper for Saturday's match.
