Stockport County form and stats

Stockport County's first League Two home game here at Edgeley Park ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 11 wins, 9 draws and 3 defeats from 23 matches.

Stockport County are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Walsall.

Before that, a defeat in the away fixture against Sheffield Wednesday (after extra-time, 4-1 on penalties) in the Carabao Cup. The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Stockport matches with similar probabilities have ended with 3 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats (from 11 games).

The match schedule is unforgiving for Stockport County as they have a new game in only four days, a League Two match thankfully also at home. Barrow are visiting.

Early season league goal statistics from Stockport County's 1 home game: {0 goals}, 1 conceded.
