It is a League One clash, Regular Season - 17 as Stockport County welcome Leyton Orient to Edgeley Park. Kick-off is set for Saturday 28 November 2026 at 15:00 UTC.

Recent Form

Across all League One games this season, Stockport County have gone 6W 1D 3L from 10 outings — a 1.90 PPG return. Last five: D W W W W. They are averaging 2.00 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches. This season is still relatively young for Stockport County, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Stockport County's form when playing at home: 6W 0D 4L across 10 games at Edgeley Park this term (1.80 PPG). They are averaging 2.00 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.

Leyton Orient — All Games: 4W 2D 4L from 10 League One fixtures this season — 1.40 PPG. Last five: L W L D W. They are scoring at 1.50 per game and conceding 1.10. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. This season is still relatively young for Leyton Orient, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Leyton Orient's away record: 4W 4D 2L from 10 road trips in League One this season (1.60 PPG). Away from home they average 1.50 goals scored and 0.70 conceded per game. 5 away clean sheets from 10 games (50%) — they are as difficult to score against on the road as they are at home.

Stockport County are in the better shape of the two on current League One data — 0.50 PPG ahead (1.90 vs 1.40). That form margin is the baseline of a sensible selection even before other signals are layered in.

H2H

The H2H landscape is flat: 8 previous encounters have yielded 2 wins for Stockport County, 2 for Leyton Orient and 4 draws. A neutral reading in isolation.

The 8 previous meetings have averaged 2.8 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 7 Feb 2026, ended 0–0 with a draw.

The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.

In-Play Data

Stockport County trading profile (56 games, 27 at home): they score before half-time in 82% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; BTTS occurs in 59% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 59% of games (home games).

Leyton Orient trading profile (56 games, 27 at away): they score before half-time in 70% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; BTTS occurs in 48% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 63% of games (away games).

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

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Stockport County 1.23 xG and Leyton Orient 1.50 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 1.244 / defence 1.009 | Leyton Orient attack 1.139 / defence 0.720. League average goals — home 1.377 / away 1.302. Leyton Orient's defence strength of 0.720 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Data: 56 Stockport County games / 56 Leyton Orient games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Stockport County 30% | Draw 27% | Leyton Orient 42%. Fair-value odds: Stockport County 3.33 | Draw 3.70 | Leyton Orient 2.38. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 27% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 51% | BTTS probability 56% | Total xG 2.73. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 51%/49% — the total xG of 2.73 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 56% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Leyton Orient as the most likely outcome at 42% — marginal model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Stockport County (1.90 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — consider the strength-adjusted model over surface-level form results. With a 27% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Leyton Orient offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 30% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 2.73 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 51% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 2.7 goals per game and H2H averaging 2.8 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 56%. Form rates are neutral: Stockport County 60% | Leyton Orient 40%.

The outsider holds a 30% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
