What is Stockport County's recent form?
Stockport County have made a mixed start to the new League One campaign. They have scored four goals and conceded three, giving them a positive goal difference of one. Their recent form reads as a win followed by a loss. Despite the inconsistency in results, their underlying numbers are strong. Data shows Stockport have generated the most shots on target of any side in the division across the first two matchdays, with 13. They also lead League One in expected goals (xG) this season with a total of 4.96.
How have past meetings with Wycombe gone?
The historical record heavily favors Stockport County in this matchup. Stockport have won each of their last three Football League games against Wycombe Wanderers. They will now aim to win four in a row against the Chairboys for only the second time in their history. The previous four-match winning run occurred between 1996 and 2003. Wycombe's record away at Stockport in the Football League is particularly poor. They have won just one of their 12 visits, drawing three and losing eight. That solitary victory was a 5-0 success in November 2024.
What is the state of the League One table?
The early League One table shows a tight race. Stockport's three points leave them three points behind the current leaders, Bradford City. Positions one and two mean automatic promotion, while places three through six lead to the promotion play-offs. The bottom four positions, 21 through 24, mean relegation. Wycombe Wanderers have drawn both of their opening two matches this season, leaving them in 16th place with two points. They have not drawn three league games in a row since February 2022. The third game in that run was a remarkable 5-5 draw with Cheltenham Town.
What does this mean for the upcoming match?
This fixture presents a clear opportunity for Stockport County to solidify their position in the upper half of the table. Their potent attack, evidenced by the league-high xG, will test a Wycombe side still searching for a first win. The historical weight of the fixture also leans toward the Hatters. For Wycombe, avoiding a third consecutive draw and improving their dismal away record at Edgeley Park will be the primary objectives.
