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 15 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats from 22 matches.

Stockport County are returning here after guesting Harrogate Town in a Carabao Cup fixture and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Johnson, defender, was given a rating of 7.61/10 in that game, top of the team. Johnson hit one key pass and won 10 of 11 duels.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Stevenage (1-2).

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Stockport's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 5 games, won 3 matches, drawn 2 and lost 0.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Stockport County as they are travelling to their away game against Doncaster Rovers in the League Two. That match is three days after this one.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Stockport County at home in the league. 2 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Colchester United form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the League Two ended in defeat. Last season Colchester United had these away match statistics: Played 23; won 8, drew 4 and lost 11.

Two away games in a row for Colchester United, whose boss Brown could celebrate last time after the Carabao Cup win against Ipswich Town. Hornby was the team player of the game with the player rating of 8.45. The agile goalkeeper Hornby topped it up with a clean sheet.

Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Carlisle United.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Colchester United playing away, we found 7 games. Results were 1 away win, 1 draw and 5 home wins.

A quick return to home after this game, as Colchester are hosting Bradford City in the League Two only three days away.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Colchester United has managed 2 goals and let in 3 from 1 match.
