Stockport vs. Aldershot Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Stockport vs. Aldershot

In the quest for the opportunity to challenge Championship side West Bromwich Albion, Stockport County is set to engage in a second-round replay of this season’s FA Cup against non-league Aldershot Town.

Despite a recent decline in form, Stockport County remains in contention for promotion from League Two. On the other hand, Aldershot Town, aiming to secure a spot in the fourth tier next year, awaits this pivotal clash in the FA Cup.

Following a 2-2 draw with Aldershot at the sold-out Electrical Services Stadium on December 3, Stockport County’s winless streak in all competitions has stretched from three to five matches. This includes a 2-0 defeat against Wigan Athletic in the EFL Trophy and a draw in the recent outing to Morecambe over the weekend.

However, the promotion-chasing visitors secured a valuable point as Kyle Wootton found the net just three minutes before the end of normal time.
