------------------------------
Stockport - WLLWLD
The team has been around for quite a long time, a typical story for British football. It has never progressed higher than the Championship, and after that, the club fell all the way down to the semi-amateur sixth division. Fortunately, they didn’t get stuck at that low point. The latest stage of their rise came with their promotion to League Two last season.
As newcomers, Stockport aimed to stabilize at the new level. However, under Dave Challinor, they are now among the surprises of the League One season. They win half of their matches and are contenders for a playoff spot. However, at the end of the year, they lost to Huddersfield and drew with Rotherham.
Stockport County possible starting lineup:
Hinchliffe; Connolly, Horsfall, Pye; Knoyle, Norwood, Bailey, Touray; Diamond, Barry, Wootton
Birmingham City - WWWWWD
The club experienced a sharp decline during the last season. Initially, they were strong contenders for a return to the Premier League but then sank into a prolonged crisis from which they never recovered. The crucial moment was their poor decision to appoint Wayne Rooney as manager at a time when things were already going well. After his sacking, his successors couldn’t fix the issues, and the team ended up relegating.
In League One, Birmingham has no plans to stay stuck. They not only kept the core of the team but also spent a significant amount of money on new signings. In terms of League One standards, they set records for transfer spending. They’ve led the league at times, but there has been no true dominance. This was evident in their 0-0 home draw with Blackpool in the last round.
Birmingham City possible starting lineup:
Allsopp; Laird, Bielik, Davies, Cochrane; Paik, Iwata; Willumsson, Leonard, Stansfield; May
Head to head
Inspecting their prior head-to-head meetings dating back to 29/01/2000 shows that Stockport County have won 1 of them & Birmingham City 5, with the number of drawn results being 0. 17 goals were produced between them during those clashes, with 4 for The Hatters and 13 for The Blues. That’s an average goals per game figure of 2.83. The previous league match featuring these clubs was League One match day 18 on 04/12/2024 which finished with the scoreline of Birmingham City 2-0 Stockport County. The match was refereed by Ben Toner.
Prediction: Stockport County 1-1 Birmingham City
Taking to the pitch for the last time with Barry leading the line, Stockport will be raring to cause an upset to kick-start their 2025 schedule. Birmingham are nearly at the end of a relentless period of five games in 13 days, and we feel that a mounting injury list could impact their ability to collect maximum points at Edgeley Park.
