Stockport County vs Reading prediction
Two goals down and a man down against non-league Cray Wanderers, it looked as though Stockport County would be the story of this season's FA Cup first round for all the wrong reasons. However, an admirable late fightback from Jimmy McNulty's men forced extra time, and the additional 30 minutes proved enough for County to find a winning goal and break Cray hearts. They've since had ample time to recover ahead of this League One encounter, which sees the second-placed Hatters host Reading.
The Royals currently sit just inside the play-off positions, but they've struggled on their travels lately. Reading have failed to win any of their last three away league fixtures, picking up just one point against Wigan, Plymouth and Oxford Utd combined. Combine that with Stockport's form all season long, and the expectation is that we'll see a County victory here.
