Pre-Match Analysis
Stockport County and Peterborough meet at Edgeley Park in League One, Regular Season - 21. This fixture gets under way on Friday 20 December 2024 at 19:45 UTC.
Form
Stockport County (all games): 5W 1D 4L across 10 League One fixtures this term — 1.60 PPG. Last five: W W L W L. Offensively they are averaging 1.80 goals per game, with 1.30 conceded. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. This season is still relatively young for Stockport County, so this record blends games from this season and last.
At home at Edgeley Park, Stockport County have gone 6W 2D 2L this season (10 games, 2.00 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.80 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per game. 6 clean sheets from 10 home games (60%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at Edgeley Park. At home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle.
Peterborough's overall League One record this term: 4W 1D 5L from 10 games (1.30 PPG). Last five: W L L L W. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.30 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches this season — one of the stronger BTTS rates in the division, making Yes a well-evidenced play. This season is still relatively young for Peterborough, so this record blends games from this season and last.
On the road, Peterborough have gone 2W 1D 7L from 10 away fixtures this term (0.70 PPG). Away from home they average 1.20 goals scored and 1.90 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context. Their away PPG of 0.70 is notably below their overall 1.30 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.
Both sides are running at similar form levels — 1.60 PPG for Stockport County against 1.30 for Peterborough. There is no clear form edge to exploit here; other signals need to take the lead.
Trading
Stockport County half-time and goal-timing data (66 games, 31 at home): they score before half-time in 68% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 72% of the time; they lead at the break 46% of the time; BTTS occurs in 32% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 42% of games (home games).
Peterborough half-time and goal-timing data (66 games, 31 at away): they score before half-time in 68% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 93% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 64% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 64% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 44%.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Stockport County 53% versus Peterborough 65%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Stockport County 53% | Peterborough 68%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Stockport County 2.00 xG and Peterborough 1.27 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Stockport County attack 1.155 / defence 1.043 | Peterborough attack 1.078 / defence 1.317. League average goals — home 1.312 / away 1.131. Peterborough bring a strong defensive rating of 1.317 — this is suppressing Stockport County's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 20 Stockport County games / 65 Peterborough games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Stockport County 54% | Draw 22% | Peterborough 24%. Fair-value odds: Stockport County 1.85 | Draw 4.55 | Peterborough 4.17. Stockport County hold a narrow Poisson edge at 54% — the draw (22%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 63% | BTTS probability 62% | Total xG 3.27. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 63% — the 3.27 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 62% reflects that both xG figures (2.00 / 1.27) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.
Picks & Verdict
On the Poisson output, Stockport County are the pick at 54% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 22% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Stockport County if the outright odds are short.
On the goals line, Poisson's 3.27 combined xG gives a 63% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 62%. Form rates are neutral: Stockport County 30% | Peterborough 60%.
