Current Form

Peterborough's overall League One record this term: 1W 3D 6L from 10 games (0.60 PPG). Last five: L D L D L. They are averaging 0.60 goals per game and conceding 1.80 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Peterborough have played only a handful of League One games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

Stockport County have collected 1.60 PPG across 10 League One outings this season: 5W 1D 4L. Last five: W L W L D. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.00 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity. Stockport County have played only a handful of League One games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

On the road, Stockport County have gone 5W 3D 2L from 10 away fixtures this term (1.80 PPG). They are averaging 1.90 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. 4 clean sheets from 10 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road.

Stockport County arrive in superior form — a 1.00 PPG advantage (1.60 vs 0.60) that offsets much of the home-ground benefit. The away side are the form pick, with draw protection the sensible way to manage the home-field uncertainty.

H2H Analysis

Neither side has dominated this fixture. The last 4 head-to-head meetings have produced 1 wins for Peterborough, 2 for Stockport County and 1 draws — an even split that leaves the H2H largely neutral as a betting input.

These two sides have produced goals at a consistent rate historically, averaging 3.0 per game across 4 meetings. That scoring profile provides genuine support for the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent clash, on 25 Apr 2026, ended 1–3 with Stockport County winning.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 3.0 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Peterborough 57% versus Stockport County 58%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Peterborough 55% | Stockport County 60%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Peterborough 0.94 xG and Stockport County 1.56 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: Peterborough attack 0.825 / defence 1.021 | Stockport County attack 1.144 / defence 0.797. League average goals — home 1.423 / away 1.334. Stockport County's defence strength of 0.797 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Data: 53 Peterborough games / 53 Stockport County games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Peterborough 21% | Draw 29% | Stockport County 50%. Fair-value odds: Peterborough 4.76 | Draw 3.45 | Stockport County 2.00. Stockport County hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (29%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 45% | BTTS probability 50% | Total xG 2.49. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 55% — total xG of 2.49 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 50% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Stockport County at 50% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 29% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Stockport County if the outright odds are short.

Poisson projects 2.49 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 45% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction — though H2H averaging only 3.0 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 50% on No. Form rates are neutral: Peterborough 60% | Stockport County 50%.
