Stevenage Borough
- Only eight points separate these two sides in the League One 2025/2026 standings, with Stockport County sitting 4th with 56 points from 32 games, while Stevenage Borough are eighth with 48 points from 32.
- Stevenage come into this fixture on the back of two wins and three defeats in their last five, while Stockport suffered a 1-0 defeat away at Bradford City before bouncing back with a 4-2 victory at home to Wigan Athletic and they followed that result with a 0-0 draw away at Burton Albion.
- Alex Revell’s men set up in narrow shapes and keep a very compact shape, frustrating opponents and looking to overload the flanks in a structured way.
- Their game plan is built around counter attacks and set pieces, as well as being one of the stingiest at home in the league.
Stockport County
- Stockport have been the more consistent team of late, winning two, drawing two and losing just one of their last five in the league.
- In contrast, Dave Challinor has moulded Stockport into a high-tempo, high-pressing side who look to win the ball high up the pitch and get in behind the opposition with their wing-backs.
- Stockport County have a solid away record, with seven wins, four draws and four defeats from 15 trips.
Head-to-Head
Two months ago, in the reverse fixture, Stevenage ran out 3-1 winners in an end-to-end game and while they were the superior team on that day, there was little to choose between the two teams overall.
Key Players
- Jamie Reid is Stevenage Borough’s talisman, netting 10 goals in 30 appearances in League One 2025/2026, but 2 of his side’s last 6 goals have come via his boot.
- Stockport’s main threat comes from Kyle Wootton, who leads the scoring charts for the Hatters with 16 goals in 32 League One games, while Adama Sidibeh has been in fine form of late, bagging 3 of Stockport's last 8 goals in the past 5 games.
Betting Insights
- Stevenage Borough have a very solid home record in League One 2025/2026, after only conceding eight goals in 15 matches (0.53 average).
- With both sides strong defensively, and the visitors averaging 1.33 goals per away game in League One 2025/2026, but only conceding 1.13 goals per game, the Under 2.5 goals market, at 1.62, looks a smart bet.
- Stockport County are 2.3 favourites to win this game, while Stevenage Borough are available at 3.2 and the draw is at 3.1.
Prediction
Stockport are slight favourites to come away with the win, but Stevenage Borough have won both of their previous two home games and have lost just once in 15 on their own patch in League One 2025/2026.
