Stockport County currently sit fifth in the league and are strong contenders for a promotion play-off spot. The team is good at picking up points at home, with a home league record of 10 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses. In their last 10 league home matches they failed to score only once, showing a very consistent attack. In the most recent home game against Northampton Town, Stockport County created 22 shooting opportunities, 8 of which were on target. 29-year-old striker Kyle Wootton is the club’s top scorer; he has 17 goals and 3 assists in the league and is a strong candidate for the League One golden boot. In the previous league round it was his late goal that earned the team a point at Luton Town. Forward Adama Sidibeh, who joined in the winter transfer window, has adapted to the pace of League One and has scored 2 league goals, likely to help share the scoring burden with Wootton.
AFC Wimbledon are a newly promoted side, making only their second ever League One campaign. Currently the team sit 8 points clear of the relegation zone, so relegation pressure is limited. However, their recent form has been mediocre — they have gone three games without a win. During that run they failed to take all three points at home against relegation rivals Leyton Orient, showing poor form. Their away record is also not strong: in their last 10 league away matches they have 2 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses. In the most recent away game at Stevenage, AFC Wimbledon managed only 7 shots, with just 1 on target. Marcus Browne is the club’s top scorer, with 12 goals and 2 assists in the league. But his last goal came on February 21; he has gone more than a month without scoring and is not at his best.
The total market value of Stockport County’s first-team squad is roughly 2.5 times that of AFC Wimbledon, showing a significant gap in strength between the two sides. Based on recent matches, Stockport County’s attacking performance has been better than AFC Wimbledon’s. Given this matchup at home, Stockport County are expected to take all three points.
