Stockport County take on Salford City at Edgeley Park on Friday night, in a battle between two teams vying for promotion from League Two.

The hosts are fifth in the table heading into the game, while the visitors are just one point lower, currently sitting in sixth place.

We say: Stockport County 1-1 Salford City

So much is at stake for both sides in the race for promotion, but they are very evenly-matched, and so we expect they will have to settle for a draw on Friday night.

Salford have been very good away from home all season, but Stockport are League Two's form side, and they have not lost a league game at Edgeley Park since November.

Tranmere Rovers take on Harrogate Town at Prenton Park on Friday night, in what is the Rovers' first home match since parting with manager Micky Mellon.

The hosts have little to play for at this point, given that they are firmly rooted in mid-table, but the away side are still fighting to maintain their EFL status, currently sitting in 20th place.

We say: Tranmere Rovers 1-0 Harrogate Town

Even though they were ultimately unable to come away with the three points, there were promising signs for Tranmere in the first half at Colchester last weekend, and they have largely been solid at home against teams in the bottom half of the table.

With Harrogate coming up short in their last away trip, against relegation-threatened Crawley Town, we expect the hosts to run out narrow victors, in what is likely to be a scrappy game.
