Prediction: Stockport 1-2 Bolton
There is a difference in quality as the hosts come into this from a league level lower than Bolton.
However, we do not expect a straight-forward win for Bolton but a hard grind given the nature of the competition; one night makes the difference.
Stockport will go all out to gain a result and would be confident given the drew attained recently.
But Bolton should nick this one as they pose more quality in their ranks.
