League One
Our Three Predictions For Peterborough United vs Stockport County
- Prediction 1 – Kyle Wootton To Score – 13/7
- Prediction 2 – Over 2.5 Goals Scored – 9/11
- Prediction 3 – Stockport County To Win – 9/8
First Prediction For Peterborough United vs Stockport County – Kyle Wootton To Score – 13/7
Leading the scoring charts for the Hatters, Wootton has been his ever-dependable self with 6 goals and 3 assists in his League One account for the season. He has shown up in the games against teams also in the relegation scrap this campaign, with goals against Reading and Port Vale in the past 6 weeks.
While not the best at any individual statistic among League One’s frontmen, Wootton is consistently strong across multiple attacking metrics, including expected goals on target, and shots on target, with 14 across his league season so far. An excellent creator of goals as well, the 29-year-old should be in the mix again and could find another contribution against Peterborough.
Second Prediction For Peterborough United vs Stockport County – Over 2.5 Goals Scored – 9/11
Despite a recent uptick in form for Peterborough since the arrival of Luke Williams, Posh have still largely struggled at the back for much of this season. Their 22 goals conceded so far is only bettered by Doncaster Rovers, Leyton Orient and bottom side Plymouth Argyle. In his 3 games in charge, Williams has already drawn level with predecessor Darren Ferguson for clean sheets this campaign.
Both sides can attack efficiently, but it is still early days to assess whether Peterborough can sustain the level of performance they put up against AFC Wimbledon on Remembrance Day. Stockport can attack with plenty of talent on the pitch, but they could have issues facing up against this new-look Posh outfit.
Third Prediction For Peterborough United vs Stockport County – Stockport County To Win – 11/10
However, with their lead at the top of League One being separated by just the number of goals they and Lincoln City have scored, this is a crucial fixture for the Hatters to win ahead of the weekend’s action. After a very disappointing performance against Luton Town, Dave Challinor and his side need to respond, and should be able to do so against a Peterborough side still finding their feet.
It is perhaps the worst time to face Posh after 3 successive wins, including that strong victory over Cardiff City in the FA Cup, but Stockport need to win in these situations and against a team with 9 defeats already, that should be an easy enough task. United will run them very close, but the visitors might be able to edge out all 3 points.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
Peterborough United look renewed since the appointment of former Notts County boss Luke Williams at London Road, and with their weekend game against Mansfield Town postponed, the 43-year-old still maintains a 100% record since taking over after 3 matches. Those victories have come in separate competitions, beating Cardiff in the FA Cup, AFC Wimbledon in League One and Crawley Town in the EFL Trophy.
Posh are still in a tough position with the side joint bottom, however their 5-0 win over the Dons have seen them jump past Plymouth Argyle, who have played a game more. However, they are just 4 points from safety, and have 2 games in hand on the 4 teams above them. It is unlikely that David Okagbue will be unavailable, with his second international match for Ireland’s under-21s being on Tuesday night.
Stockport County have maintained their lead at the top of League One over the weekend as they also had a postponed fixture against Wimbledon, giving the Greater Manchester side a 2-week debrief from their loss to Luton Town. They are level on points with Lincoln City, but lead the 3rd tier by way of goals scored. Bradford City sit a point further behind in 3rd.
Dave Challinor’s side last played in EFL Trophy action, with a draw against Wigan Athletic being enough to see the Hatters into the knockout stages. Prior to those two results, County won 5 of their last 6 fixtures, ensuring progress to the FA Cup 2nd round. County are unlikely to see any injury returns, with 7 names currently sidelined.
Last season was the first time in 14 years that these sides played a competitive fixture, having last played each other in 2 FA Cup 1st round fixtures back in 2010. County got the better of Peterborough at Edgeley Park, while the match in Cambridgeshire ending in a 1-1 draw with goals from Ricky Jade-Jones and Jack Diamond.
