**Stockport's unbeaten streak meets a Barnsley side desperate to find rhythm** — this is a battle of momentum vs. inconsistency in League One. 🔴⚪
Stockport have won two of their last three and hold a perfect H2H record (2 wins, 2 draws in four), while Barnsley are sliding with just one win in five and conceded three against Plymouth. The Reds need this to spark any kind of run.
Key storylines:
- **Stockport's defense** — O'Connell, Gordon, and Pye have been solid; Barnsley's attack led by **Kirk and Noslin** will have to be clinical to break through
- **Midfield battle**: **Diamond and Norwood** anchoring Stockport's engine room against **Kelly and McGeehan**'s creativity
- Barnsley's inability to keep clean sheets (1W 2D 2L) plays into Stockport's hands at home
Expected lineups:
- **Stockport County**: Whatmuff, O'Connell, Gordon, Pye, Norwood, Bate, Osborn, Wood, Wootton, Glover
- **Barnsley**: Ravenhill, Kay, Gale, O'Riordan, Kelly, McGeehan, Connell, Cleary, Noslin, Richards, Kirk
Prediction:
**Stockport 2-1 Barnsley**
Stockport's home form and head-to-head edge tip the scales, but Barnsley's firepower keeps it tight.
Our calls before kick-off, and how they went.
A confidence, not a tip. We do not claim these beat the bookmakers' price — the odds are short precisely because the outcome is likely.
