Stockport County
- Stockport are 3rd in League One 2026/2027 with 9 points from 5 games.
- The Hatters have been in good form to start the season with 3 wins and 2 defeats from their opening 5 games.
- Stockport followed up their 5-1 win at home to Wycombe with a 4-0 victory away to Wigan in their most recent game and they look likely to be among the promotion candidates this season.
- Jim McNulty has moulded the Hatters into a well-drilled side that has a possession-based approach with some real quality in wide areas.
Leicester City
- Leicester City are 17th with 5 points from 5 matches in League One 2026/2027.
- A trip to face 3rd placed Stockport County will be no easy task for Leicester City on Saturday.
- The Foxes have a progressive approach under Russell Martin, that prioritises possession, presses high up the field and plays some excellent football when they can keep their play patient and constructed.
- However, they have been poor overall in their 5 games so far, winning only once and losing 3 times.
- They beat Plymouth 2-0 at home in their opening League One 2026/2027 game but were beaten 4-0 at home by Oxford last time out.
Key Players
Harry Wood is the danger man for the hosts and is the top scorer in League One 2026/2027 with 3 goals in 5 appearances .
Betting Insights
- Martin's side are scoring 0.50 goals and conceding 0.50 goals per game away from home in League One 2026/2027, so they're not exactly setting the world on fire away from Leicester.
- The odds, however, tell a different story with Stockport being 2.06 favourites to Leicester at 3.09 whilst the draw is 3.55.
Prediction
Stockport look more likely to win here, though it could be tight, so I'm taking Stockport draw no bet to account for a possibly tricky match.
