Game Prediction
More and more European countries go on football holidays towards the end of the week. Nevertheless, the Foggy Albion, as usual, becomes an exception. The confrontations will be even on Friday, including at the level of the League Two. There, Stockport hosts Notts County – the undisputed leader will play against the contender for 2nd place. The website contains the author’s prediction for this match on December 22, 2023.
Stockport “travels” up and down the divisions quite often
“The Hatters” have only reached their peak in the previous couple of decades, having played in the Championship at the turn of the century. Still, then there was a fairly rapid decline, which ended with the bottom in the form of a couple of years in the sixth division of the country. However, almost the same rise followed the higher mentioned results, and Carlisle United did not allow the team into the League One already in the previous season – the opponent won the final match on penalties. Fortunately, this was not a blow; on the contrary, Challinor’s wards are now single-handedly in the lead. The only confusing thing is that there was a defeat made by Newport and the draws in the struggles with Salford City and Morecambe after 12 wins in a row. However, then they simply destroyed Sutton United with an 8-0 score.
Notts County returned to this division only in the current year
“The Magpies” position themselves as the oldest football club in England and, by extension, the world. This is what attracted investors, who lured Eriksson here as coach at the beginning of the century, and the team included the experienced Sol Campbell and the young Kasper Schmeichel. However, the enthusiasm did not last long. And the project went to the National League, from which it returned only in the spring, from 2nd place. Moreover, now the newcomer is even aiming for a “direct” ticket to a higher division. Having made a good start, everything fizzled out, and a 1-3 failure with Harrogate became the fifth defeat in 7 rounds.
Previous head-to-head matches
Notts County had spent 6 matches without a single defeat against this opponent. Still, Stockport beat the rival crushingly last March – 3-0.
