Stockport County travel to face Luton Town in a League One fixture on Wednesday, 2nd September, with Dave Challinor's side looking to extend their strong start to the season. The Hatters, however, hold a formidable historical advantage over the Hatters.
Stockport County currently sit third in the League One table with six points from three games, following a win-loss-win pattern in their opening fixtures. They are just one point behind leaders Blackpool. Their next fixture is this away trip to Luton, who are 13th with four points. County have scored nine goals this season while conceding only four, giving them a healthy +5 goal difference.
Luton Town are unbeaten in their last 13 Football League games against Stockport County, a run stretching back to November 1968. That 2-0 defeat for Luton is the last time County managed a league victory in this fixture. This current unbeaten streak is Luton's longest ongoing run against any current EFL side. Stockport County have won just one of their 10 away Football League games at Luton, drawing four and losing five. Interestingly, four of their last five visits to Kenilworth Road have ended in a draw.
Stockport County's form has been promising, with their nine goals scored the joint-highest in the division at this early stage. Their defensive record is also strong, with only four goals conceded. Luton Town, meanwhile, have been involved in high-scoring affairs at home. Both teams have found the net in each of Luton's last nine League One home games. The last time they had a longer such run was between February and October 2024.
Stockport County are currently unbeaten in their last six away league games, winning three and drawing three. If they avoid defeat at Kenilworth Road, it would mark seven away league games without a loss for the first time since October 2008. This resilience on the road will be tested against a Luton side known for entertaining, goal-laden home matches. County's attacking options are listed on our squad page.
The historical data presents a clear challenge for Stockport County. While their current form is excellent, the weight of history is against them. Luton's dominance in this fixture over several decades is a significant psychological hurdle. However, football is played in the present, and County's recent away form suggests they are capable of breaking such sequences. The match kicks off at Kenilworth Road on Wednesday evening.
