- Prediction 3 – Match To End In A Draw – 27/10
First Prediction For Stockport County v Peterborough United – Stockport County To Win – 73/100
Stockport County have suffered a blip in form since the start of December and they lost their last home game, a thrilling 3-2 defeat to Bradford City. Before that they won their previous three at Edgeley Park to the tune of 6-1 aggregate score. Despite losing two of their last three League One games, they remain in the playoffs places, and will spy this game as one to put them back on track as the busy Christmas period begins. A 4-2 win at Newport County in the FA Cup came out of the blue in terms of away form as Peterborough United slide down the standings, as they have not won on the road in the league since August 24.
Second Prediction For Stockport County v Peterborough United – Both Teams To Score – Yes – 49/100
The goals have been flying in from both of these sides in this campaign, unfortunately for both it has been at both ends of the pitch. County have hit 32 goals in their 20 games, and United have gone better with 37 in one game less. With these two teams firepower this should be a banker for both teams to score, especially as the two have leaky defences. Peterborough can attribute their recent slide due to the 35 goals they have conceded. Stockport are not as bad but still average a goal a game with 21 let in.
Third Prediction For Stockport County v Peterborough United – Match To End In A Draw – 27/10
On current form Stockport might be happy with a point from the encounter, a win clearly the better option, but just to steady the ship they will want to avoid another defeat. Peterborough also need to stop the rot that is setting in, but with one of the worst away records in the whole of the top four divisions this could be another tricky game to navigate. A draw will help their cause more than Stockport’s at this stage and they will gladly take that. The Hatters have six draws overall in League One, with the Posh halving that amount.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head To Head
Dave Challinor will need his side to get over what was a very disappointing result at Stevenage last week well and truly behind them as they search for maximum points in this game to put their promotion push on the right rails. A tricky set of results has put the brakes on their campaign, but the manager has seen troubled runs before and put them behind him. He will need the scoring touch of 14-goal Louis Barry to continue as the 21-year-old leads the scoring charts in the division. Kyle Wootton, has chipped in with six more. It is at the back where they need more consistency with Fraser Horsfall and Ethan Pye trying to regain the form from earlier in the season.
In the opposition dugout on Friday night is the evergreen Darren Ferguson, although of late his patience has been tested with a set of results that has worryingly seen Peterborough drop well away from the playoff places. There is still a lot of time though and this festive period could be just the right time to pick up a bundle of points. Tucked in behind Louis Barry at the top of the League One scoring chart is Kwame Poku, the 23-year-old has hit 10 goals but is still side lined with a hamstring injury. Therefore, Malik Mothersille and Ricky-Jade Jones will be charged with keeping the scoreboard ticking over, something they have done with ease as they both have six goals. Emmanuel Fernandez is a leading light at the back and will have to be at his best here, but he can also grab an important goal, having netted four times.
