Stockport manager Dave Challinor now views Kyle Wootton as their main striker after Louie Barry saw his highly productive loan spell end at the mid-season point. Barry remains their highest scorer, but Wootton has still managed a double-digit return in relation to league goals for County.

Although he tends to net his goals in patches, the 28-year-old is definitely a reliable source in terms of working the opposition keeper in the form of shots on target, as well as shots in general. He is currently on a 13-match run of having a shot, and is averaging 2.62 shots in this time. Focusing specifically on those on target, Wootton has fired in 13 shots on target over his previous 12 appearances.

What stands out more than anything is the regularity with which the striker is finding the target over the season as a whole. In league action, 46.32% of his shots have found their way on goal, which is most impressive with regards to his accuracy.

A major reason for Leyton Orient’s run to the play-offs this season is the incredible goal return of Charlie Kelman. The 23-year-old is currently in his second temporary spell at Brisbane Road, and it is fair to say he is much more prolific the second time around. So much so, the former Southend United youngster is the top scorer in League One, so he is often a good bet to score in any match he plays.

His manager, Richie Wellens, will design a game plan that is produced with the intention of working the ball into Kelman. If he is supplied with the service, he has proved that he will take his chances. Over his last six appearances alone, he notched a huge 21 shots, which really does reflect the tactical blueprint of getting him on the ball in advanced areas.

Whatever happens, Kelman will probably be in the Championship next season. Either with Leyton Orient if they win promotion, or back with his parent club, QPR. Therefore, he can approach these play-offs with a degree of freedom. He clearly is the type that doesn’t feel the weight of pressure and expectation on his shoulders, but he should love the bigger stage to really showcase his talents even further. He's a generous price to score anytime.

Leyton Orient may be in excellent form, but their defence has been anything but watertight in recent times. Six wins in a row and seven unbeaten they may be, yet they’ve returned only two clean sheets in this time. Over their 26 matches in all competitions played in this calendar year, they’ve returned seven clean sheets. Conceding in 19 in 26 is a hit rate of just over 73%.

Stockport have not suffered a loss in any of their previous eight fixtures, however, they retained just the two clean sheets in doing so. The fact they’ve recorded two or more goals in seven of those clashes reflects their super-strong offensive qualities, meaning they approach this first leg battle in very high spirits. It also suggests they won’t necessarily panic even if they concede, which should continue the theme of quite an open and exciting tie.

Above anything else, two teams that don’t know how to lose at the moment play one another, meaning the prospect of goals appears much more likely to materialise. If they play to their strengths, which they should do if they want to make a Wembley final, then sticking to their attacking principles should significantly contribute to goals flowing here.
