History of the Stockport County v Notts. County fixture

Notts County face a trip to Stockport County at Edgeley Park on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Magpies have won 3 of the 12 games compared to the host's 5 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in August 2002, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Stockport County need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Hatters have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Notts County's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Magpies have hit 4 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Stockport are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 11 points from 13 matches. Notts County are stuck down in the relegation zone of Nationwide League Division Two with a return of just 9 points from their 13 games thus far.
