Walsall, who won their previous game, will be hoping for a repeat of their 1-2 League Two victory against Swindon Town. Manny Monthe (90′) was Walsall’s sole name on the scoresheet. Swindon Town scored with Ellis Iandolo (33′) and Remeao Hutton (45′).
The Walsall backline has shown a lot of resilience recently, as seen by their recent scorelines. Walsall have been tough at the back, resulting in a total of three goals scored at their end during the course of their previous six games. Stockport County come into this encounter on the back of a 2-0 League Two win against Crewe Alexandra in their last match.
