Meetings between these two teams usually end with a narrow scoreline, and often the points are shared. This time the pattern looks different, because Stockport County are in a spell where their attack is clicking, while Barnsley are still struggling to find their footing in the league. Stockport County have won their last two matches without conceding, and overall this season they have scored more often than they have conceded. Barnsley, meanwhile, have not won in a while, their defence has been leaking chances at times, and their attack is not sharp enough to make up for it. If Stockport County score first, given the pattern of them controlling more of the ball, the game is likely to flow toward the home side gradually grinding Barnsley down and forcing them to drop deep and wait for the occasional counterattack.
