LP_0903_MAIN_LPE1_001

Saturday’s match between Wrexham and Stockport County promises to be one for the neutrals, as two of League Two’s most free-scoring sides go head-to-head.

Wrexham are two places behind County in third, with 25 wins and 10 draws putting them on 85 points.

The Dragons are in fantastic form in League Two, with five wins and one loss from their last six games.

But with six wins and no losses over that period, the Hatters’ form is even better – they have taken 18 points from 18, compared to the home team’s 15.

In Ben Hinchiffe, the visitors can rely on one of the league’s safest pair of hands. He has kept 17 clean sheets in his 45 appearances this season, and no ‘keeper has prevented the opposition scoring more often in League Two.

In Wrexham’s net, Arthur Okonkwo has 14 clean sheets in 35 games.
