We have now reached the stage in this competition where clubs will play close to their best line-ups, and where the scores become more normalised as well. The chance of a trip to Wembley is only two wins away as well, which begins to capture the imagination of the fans. 

To this end, I fancy Huddersfield to put their foot down and win this tie in normal time. They have been better in the league under Liam Manning, winning three in a row until having to mount a fightback from two down against Blackpool at the weekend, but salvaging a 2-2 from being 0-2 down with a late equaliser is often a great boost to the confidence and a good feeling going into the next game.

The Terriers have a strong home record in the league this season, too, the fourth best in the competition with nine wins from 16 home matches and conceding less than a goal a game.

By contrast, Doncaster have lost 10 of their 16 away games against opposition in League One. Indeed, this match has already been played in league competition, and Huddersfield ran out comfortable 2-0 winners, albeit this was early in the season.

Huddersfield have an impressive +0.76 xG differential in their home league games this season, whilst Doncaster are about level on their away xG differential, so Huddersfield hold a substantial advantage there too.

Again, here, I am looking more at league form than EFL Trophy form because of the way that teams tend to take this stage of the competition seriously. I also note that Stockport have a deeper squad than most clubs at this level, so there may be some rotation for them, but it is also likely to not affect them as much as it would some other teams.

Stockport are on a seven-game unbeaten run in all competitions, and therefore taking the Double Chance over the 90 minutes here banks on them retaining that record.

They have won the xG battle in six of those eight matches as well, so there is a degree of performance-related form here too, which, coupled with the fact that they are 20 places above their opponents in the league, makes me a little surprised that they aren't actually favourites to win here.

This fixture was played earlier this season and resulted in a really comfortable win for Stockport, 0-3. It wasn't quite as emphatic in the xG, but that isn't totally reliable due to game state.

Vale haven't won any of their last three home matches in the league, against Burton, Wimbledon, or Exeter. This is a step up in terms of the difficulty of opposition, and I think that there is a bit of value with Stockport not being favourites for this.
