Three Punchy Stats
- Stockport have scored 16 goals in seven League One matches. , the highest total in the division, despite sitting ninth after three defeats.
- Peterborough have conceded in 13 consecutive League One away games. and are without a victory in their last 11 league trips, making their road record a major pressure point against Stockport’s attack.
- Four of Stockport’s seven league games have contained at least four goals. Their combination of heavy wins and a 4-3 defeat to Leicester shows how quickly their matches can move away from routine scorelines.
Scoring and Goal Volume
Recent attacking records for Stockport and Peterborough are shown below.
Defensive Stability
Recent defensive records for Stockport and Peterborough are shown below.
Jim McNulty’s side have scored a division-high 16 goals through seven matches, yet three defeats have left them ninth rather than among the early leaders. Peterborough United arrive at Edgeley Park with rather different problems: one league win, 23rd place and an interim manager after Luke Williams’s departure.
The contrast is sharpened by Peterborough’s away record. They are winless in 11 league trips and have conceded in 13 consecutive League One away matches, while Stockport have already produced several games in which the scoreline has accelerated quickly.
Stockport’s Results Have Been Wilder Than Their Position Suggests
Three wins, one draw and three defeats is an unusually balanced record for a side leading the division for goals scored. Stockport have rarely occupied the middle ground.
Their recent sequence includes a 5-1 victory over Wycombe Wanderers, a 4-0 win at Wigan Athletic and a 4-3 defeat against Leicester City. Four of their seven league fixtures have contained at least four goals.
Yet last weekend brought a striking change of tone. Stockport drew 0-0 away to Sheffield Wednesday despite registering 18 shots to their opponents’ six. The absence of a goal did not reflect a lack of attacking activity; if anything, it showed that they can still generate considerable pressure when the finishing return disappears.
Jack Diamond and Kyle Wootton are expected to retain prominent attacking places, having scored four goals between them this season.
Peterborough’s Road Problem Is Difficult to Ignore
Peterborough’s 3-1 EFL Trophy victory over Colchester United gave Ryan Harley a winning start as interim manager and ended a run without victory, but their league position explains why change was made.
The Posh have collected only five points from seven matches, with one win, two draws and four defeats. Their six most recent league games have produced only five Peterborough goals, while defeats at Blackpool and against Doncaster Rovers came without a goal of their own.
Away from home, the broader pattern is particularly concerning. Peterborough have not won any of their last 11 League One road matches and have lost six of the last eight. They have also conceded on each of their previous 13 league trips.
That record meets the division’s highest-scoring side at an inconvenient moment.
Can the Midweek Win Change Peterborough’s Attack?
Harley does at least have a fresh attacking option to consider. Harry Ashfield scored twice against Colchester and could make his first League One start, while Harry Leonard, who scored 16 goals last season, is expected to feature in attack.
There is uncertainty around the visitors’ selection following the managerial change and midweek fixture, while injuries continue to remove Sam Hughes, Rio Adebisi, Matthew Garbett, Ethan Williams and Declan Frith from contention.
Stockport could be more settled after emerging from the Sheffield Wednesday match without a fresh injury. Brad Hills, Ryan Rydel and Adama Sidibeh remain unavailable.
The hosts have lost four of their last six home matches, so Edgeley Park has hardly been an automatic source of points. Their attacking numbers nevertheless present a demanding test for a Peterborough defence that has repeatedly conceded on its travels.
📊 Market Explainer
Handicap Market
Selection: Peterborough Asian Handicap +1.5. A virtual goal advantage or deficit is applied before settlement. The bet is decided by the adjusted score after normal time.

🎯 Pick 1: Peterborough Asian Handicap +1.5 @ N/A
Stockport County lead League One with 16 goals scored across seven matches, yet three league defeats leave Jim McNulty’s side ninth in the standings. Their home record exposes clear fragility, with four losses in their past six fixtures at Edgeley Park. That inconsistency makes a large winning margin far from guaranteed against a Peterborough United team operating under interim manager Ryan Harley following a 3-1 midweek EFL Trophy win over Colchester United.
Peterborough’s league form presents severe away travel issues, having failed to win in 11 consecutive League One road fixtures while losing six of their last eight. They have also conceded in 13 straight away matches. However, Stockport’s recent performance at Sheffield Wednesday demonstrated how high shot volume does not always yield a blowout victory. Despite generating 18 shots to Wednesday’s six, Stockport finished with a 0-0 draw. Peterborough scored three goals midweek, with Harry Ashfield scoring twice and Harry Leonard offering a proven goalscoring record after netting 16 goals last season, giving the visitors enough forward output to stay competitive.
The main hazard for this handicap selection stems from Stockport’s explosive goal production, highlighted by a 5-1 victory over Wycombe Wanderers and a 4-0 win against Wigan Athletic. Nevertheless, with Peterborough needing only to avoid a defeat by two or more goals to cover the +1.5 line, Stockport’s four home defeats in six matches provide reasonable backing for a tight margin.
🎯 Tactical Indicators
- Stockport have lost four of their last six matches at Edgeley Park despite scoring 16 goals in seven league games.
- Peterborough are winless in 11 away League One fixtures and have conceded in 13 consecutive road trips.
- Stockport were held to a 0-0 draw by Sheffield Wednesday in their last match despite registering 18 shots to six.
Risk Factor: Stockport’s multi-goal wins mean any defensive lapse by Peterborough could quickly erase the +1.5 margin.
Key Tactical Mismatch
Scored 16 goals in seven matches, registering heavy wins over Wycombe (5-1) and Wigan (4-0).
Conceded in 13 consecutive League One road games and winless in 11 away trips.
⚔️ Pick 2: Stockport County vs Peterborough 2-1 @ 7/1
A 2-1 victory for Stockport County reflects both the hosts’ superior attacking numbers and Peterborough United’s persistent defensive issues on the road. Stockport lead League One with 16 goals through seven matches, having delivered heavy victories such as a 5-1 win over Wycombe Wanderers and a 4-0 away success at Wigan Athletic. Jack Diamond and Kyle Wootton have four goals between them, giving the hosts regular finishing threat against a Peterborough defence that has conceded in 13 consecutive away league fixtures and lost six of its last eight road games.
Justifying Peterborough’s goal requires looking at Stockport’s defensive concessions alongside the visitors’ midweek resurgence. Stockport’s fixtures can become volatile, as shown in a 4-3 defeat to Leicester City and four league matches containing at least four goals. Peterborough ended their winless run with a 3-1 EFL Trophy victory against Colchester United, where Harry Ashfield scored twice and Harry Leonard featured in attack. With Stockport losing four of their last six matches at Edgeley Park, Peterborough have a plausible route to score at least once even if their broader league record of five points from seven games limits their winning chances.
The principal risk to a 2-1 scoreline is Stockport’s capacity for heavier scorelines, given that four of their seven league matches have produced four or more goals. Additionally, Peterborough failed to score at Blackpool and Doncaster. However, four recent home defeats for Stockport and Peterborough’s 13-game away conceding streak make a narrow 2-1 home victory a balanced scenario.
Risk Factor: Stockport’s capacity for high scoring and Peterborough’s away defensive issues make a narrow 2-1 score plausible.
