They are averaging 2.20 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 6 clean sheets from their last 10 home games (60%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at home. Their home PPG of 2.30 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.20 — Stockport County are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.

Wycombe have collected 2.60 PPG across their last 10 games: 8W 2D 0L. Last five: D W W W W. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.20 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%).

When travelling, Wycombe have posted 6W 3D 1L from their last 10 away outings — 2.10 PPG. They are averaging 2.10 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. Both teams have scored in 90% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture. Their away PPG of 2.10 is notably below their overall 2.60 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.

On a straight form reading, Wycombe are the stronger side — 1.40 PPG clear of the hosts (2.60 vs 1.20). Backing them with draw insurance is the conservative play if the outright away price appears short.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Stockport County 1.49 xG and Wycombe 1.64 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 0.984 / defence 1.047 | Wycombe attack 1.300 / defence 1.105. League average goals — home 1.368 / away 1.202. Wycombe have an above-average attack rating of 1.300, which lifts their away xG to 1.64. Data: built from Stockport County's last 13 games and Wycombe's last 58.

Result probabilities: Stockport County 35% | Draw 24% | Wycombe 41%. Fair-value odds: Stockport County 2.86 | Draw 4.22 | Wycombe 2.42. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 24% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 60% | BTTS Yes probability 62% | Total xG 3.12. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 60% — the 3.12 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 62% — both xG figures (1.49 / 1.64) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Wycombe at 41% — marginal model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 24% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Wycombe if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 35% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 3.12 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 60% — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Stockport County's last 10 home games and Wycombe's last 10 away games) averaging 3.2 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 62% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Stockport County 40% (last 10 home games) | Wycombe 90% (last 10 away games).
