Stockport County host Peterborough United at Edgeley Park in League One on Saturday, September 26, 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 14:00 local time. The teams approach this fixture from very different positions: Stockport are ninth after recording three wins, one draw and three defeats, while Peterborough sit 23rd with one victory, two draws and four losses. The hosts have been the more productive attacking side, averaging 2.3 goals per league match, compared with Peterborough’s 0.6. However, the visitors arrive after a confidence-boosting EFL Trophy success, and the scoring patterns in Stockport’s home fixtures suggest that this contest may be more open than the standings alone imply.

Stockport County Recent Form and Key Statistics

Stockport County enter the match after a goalless draw with Sheffield Wednesday on September 19. That result delivered their second clean sheet in three matches, although it was also the second time this season that they had failed to score. Establishing greater consistency is now the challenge for a team whose last five matches have produced two wins, one draw and two defeats.

The Hatters have nevertheless shown considerable attacking potential. Across those five games, they averaged 2.4 goals scored and 1.4 conceded, while their broader League One figures stand at 2.3 scored and 1.4 allowed per match. They are also described as the league’s leading scorers, making the recent 0-0 draw an interruption to an otherwise productive attacking campaign rather than the dominant pattern.

Home advantage has not automatically translated into victories. Stockport have won only two of their opening five home matches, but both teams scored in all five of those fixtures. That combination is significant: the hosts have regularly found the net at Edgeley Park, yet they have also given their opponents opportunities to respond.

• Stockport’s last five matches: two wins, one draw and two defeats.
• League One averages: 2.3 goals scored and 1.4 conceded per game.
• Second-half trend: at least one goal was scored after the interval in 18 of their last 20 home matches.
• Corners trend: more than 7.5 corners were taken in 24 of their last 25 matches and in 22 of their last 23 League One games.

The timing statistics also indicate that the contest could develop as it progresses. At least one second-half goal has been scored in 26 of Stockport’s last 28 matches, including 24 of their last 26 League One fixtures. Even if the opening phase is controlled, their recent records provide a strong basis for expecting activity after the break.

Peterborough United Recent Form and Key Statistics

Peterborough United have endured the more difficult league campaign. Their seven League One matches have brought one win, two draws and four defeats, leaving them 23rd. They lost their latest league fixture 2-0 against Doncaster, and only four league goals have been scored by Peterborough so far.

The visitors did, however, respond positively in their next outing. A 3-1 victory over Colchester United on September 22 secured progress in the EFL Trophy and provided a timely attacking lift before this trip. Their last five matches across the supplied record contain one win, two draws and two defeats, with averages of 1.6 goals scored and 1.8 conceded.

Peterborough’s League One numbers remain less encouraging, as they average only 0.6 goals scored and 1.7 conceded per game. Defensive problems have been particularly persistent away from home: they have conceded at least once in each of their last 13 away league matches. Their last 12 League One trips have also all produced more than 1.5 total goals.

• Peterborough’s league record: one win, two draws and four defeats.
• Away defensive sequence: at least one goal conceded in 13 consecutive League One trips.
• Half-time record: no half-time lead in their last 16 league matches.
• Second-half trend: at least one goal after the break in each of their last 18 away League One games.

The first-half data underline Peterborough’s vulnerability. They have trailed at half-time in their last three League One matches and in seven of their previous 11 away league fixtures. At the same time, second-half scoring has featured in 25 of their last 27 league games and 36 of their last 40 matches overall, reinforcing the possibility of another contest that remains active beyond the interval.

Stockport County vs Peterborough United Match Analysis

The available figures give Stockport County a clear pre-match advantage. Their supplied win probability is 54%, compared with 22% for the draw and 24% for a Peterborough victory. The hosts occupy the higher league position, score at a substantially better rate and face opponents who have conceded throughout a long sequence of away matches.

However, the case for goals at both ends is supported by the specific home and head-to-head records. Both sides scored in each of Stockport’s first five home fixtures of the season. Peterborough have also found the net in each of their last five meetings with Stockport, while keeping only one clean sheet across those encounters. The latest head-to-head ended 3-1 on April 25, 2026.

The wider head-to-head summary is evenly balanced, with Stockport recording two wins, one draw and two defeats. Across that sequence, Stockport averaged 1.4 goals scored and 2.0 conceded. Those numbers suggest that Peterborough’s low league scoring average should not be viewed in isolation, especially after their three-goal EFL Trophy performance against Colchester.

Stockport’s attacking output and Peterborough’s run of 13 away league matches without a clean sheet point toward chances for the home side. In the opposite direction, Peterborough’s scoring record in this fixture and the fact that every Stockport home match this season has featured goals from both teams give the visitors a credible route onto the scoresheet. With both the BTTS Yes and Over 2.5 goals probabilities listed at 62%, the strongest overall theme is an open game in which each side contributes.
