Bitesize Prediction: Bitesize Prediction: Aldershot vs Stockport – 05/03/22

Competition: National League

Market: Stockport win

Odds: 3/5 @ 888sport

Two sides who really find themselves battling it out at opposite ends of the National League table, Stockport will make the trip to Aldershot on Saturday evening.

Starting with the hosts, putting in a woeful display last weekend and hit with a 4-1 drumming away at Wrexham, Aldershot find themselves in the midst of a real National League nightmare. While the Reds might still find themselves holding a commanding buffer over slipping into the drop zone, Mark Molesley’s men have collected just a single point from their last four fifth-tier matchups. With their recent issues also highlighted by a 0-0 stalemate against fellow strugglers Dover on home soil last month, and they have also landed just a single victory since January 2nd. Given their recent downbeat run, Aldershot should be bracing themselves for another stern test on Saturday evening.

As for the visitors, while Aldershot might be enduring a National League struggle, Stockport find themselves battling it out at the other end of the table. Last seen picking up a 1-0 win against Weymouth on home soil, that Hatters open this weekend’s fixtures holding a three-point buffer over the chasing pack. Along with winning each of their last four matchups on the spin, it should also be noted that fans around Edgeley Park find their side enjoying a remarkable unbeaten run that stems all the way back to December 11th. Continuing to shine at both ends of the pitch, there is no doubt that the National League leaders should be smelling a golden chance on Saturday evening. Given the recent gulf in class between the two sides, we’re backing a similar away victory for Dave Challinor’s side here.
