Form Guide & Team Overview
Stockport County
Stockport County have shown flashes of brilliance in recent weeks, with a solid win against AFC Wimbledon and a commanding 3-0 victory over Wycombe Wanderers. However, their recent loss to Mansfield Town at home might have dented their confidence slightly. Despite this, their ability to score goals consistently, as seen in their thrilling 3-3 draw against Exeter City, suggests they have the firepower to trouble any defence.Stockport County have shown flashes of brilliance in recent weeks, with a solid win against AFC Wimbledon and a commanding 3-0 victory over Wycombe Wanderers.

Peterborough United
Peterborough United are in a bit of a rut, with their last win feeling like a distant memory. Their recent draw against Burton Albion offered a glimmer of hope, but back-to-back 1-3 losses against Port Vale and Blackpool highlight their defensive vulnerabilities.

Head-to-Head Record
The head-to-head record between these two sides has been fairly balanced, with Peterborough United having the upper hand in recent encounters. Their 3-0 victory last November will give them confidence, but Stockport’s 2-1 win in December 2024 shows they can compete. Historically, Peterborough have often edged these fixtures, but Stockport will be keen to change that narrative on home turf.The head-to-head record between these two sides has been fairly balanced, with Peterborough United having the upper hand in recent encounters.
