Key Betting Tip: Stockport County to Win at 1.40 Odds
Stockport County (3-4-2-1) Hinchliffe, Hunt, Hills, Pye, Edun, Norwood, Osborn, Fevrier, Mothersille, Diamond, Wootton
Harrogate Town (3-1-4-2) Oxley, O'Connor, Jameson, Horton, Morris, Cass, Thomson, Smith, Evans, Bennett, McCoulsky
The home side picked up a well needed victory against play-off rivals Huddersfield Town last time out. They are currently fourth-placed in League One, having won 12 of their 25 league matches this season. Stockport defeated League Two Crewe on penalties to advance to this stage of the competition and will fancy themselves to prevail in favourbale home fixture against another opposition in that division.
Harrogate Town have been on a horrendous run of form, five defeats in their last seven (no wins) is quite telling for a side that sit second bottom of the league table. They have scored just one goal in their last five matches, also coming against Crewe in a draw last time out. Harrogate defeated Blackpool in the last round to reach this stage of the competition but may well have met their match against a Stockport side that they have a poor record against.

Football Park's Best Bet: Stockport County to Win @ 1.40 Odds - We are siding with a home victory in this fixture. The home advantage, superior form and tactical matchups justify confidence in this selection.
Oliver Norwood (Stockport County) The midfielders return from injury would have been very warmly welcomed by the Stockport faithful. Norwood has five goals and four assists in the league this season and has been the key man for Stockport in their quest for promotion.
Anthony O'Connor (Harrogate Town) There are not a lot of positives to take from this Harrogate side but the form of O'Connor is certainly worth crediting. The defender put in a player of the match display away at Crewe last time out and will be a prominent figure in the defence once again.
