Recent respective form guides

Stockport County's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Hatters have scored 8, a worringly large 16 have been leaked at the other end.

Peterborough's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. A generous 6 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Stockport Co. find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 4 points from their 5 matches. Peterborough lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca Cola League Two, picking up 7 from their 5 games so far.
