Stockport County vs Doncaster Rovers prediction
It is a new era under Jim McNulty at Stockport County but the ambition is as high as ever as they kick off a new season. The focus will unquestionably be on promotion but they will want to hit the ground running in a tough Carabao Cup opener against Doncaster Rovers on Saturday.
The two League One rivals will be eager to start the season strong and with the Carabao Cup taking place over the weekend, both teams are likely to field something close to their strongest sides.
Stockport have a fantastic record against Doncaster having won their last five meetings and while there has been plenty of change at the club over the summer, they are a quality side that has looked progressively better over pre-season. We expect the hosts to progress.
