Stockport take on Stevenage in the League One play-off semi-final second leg, following a narrow 1-0 away win. Stockport, strong at home, have won seven of their last ten matches at Edgeley Park and limited Stevenage to very few chances in the first leg. Stevenage, on the other hand, have struggled away from home, losing 8 of their last 12 on the road. With key injuries affecting both sides, Stockport’s recent form and home advantage make them favorites to win this crucial tie.
