It’s a fascinating encounter at the Weston Homes Stadium as 23rd-placed Peterborough take on 1st-placed Stockport on Thursday evening. While there might be plenty of league positions separating the teams, Peterborough will be buoyed by their 5-0 drubbing of AFC Wimbledon in their last league match.

Despite the visitors putting together a fantastic sequence of results over the last couple of months, a sobering 3-0 defeat at home to Luton has taken the gloss off a superb run. It’ll be interesting to see whether their confidence is impacted when the game kicks off.

📈 Peterborough v Stockport Form & Stats

Peterborough have seen a massive improvement since Luke Williams was appointed at the end of October, he’s now overseen three straight wins in all competitions, including a notable 1-0 win over Cardiff in the FA Cup, and 5-0 win against AFC Wimbledon. 

Although Darren Ferguson was given his marching orders, Peterborough’s form over the last 10 games hasn’t been horrendous; they’ve picked up 13 points, which puts them 17th in the form table over that sample.

Stockport’s relentless consistency has gradually seen them make an ascent to the top of the league. Before that blip against Cardiff, Stockport had gone seven unbeaten in the league, winning five of them. Stockport’s tight and sturdy defence has been a hallmark of their good form in recent times, conceding just three goals in their unbeaten run before the Cardiff game. 

Stockport sit on 28 points after 15 games, winning eight, drawing four, and losing three. The recent five-game xG table paints Stockport in a positive light; they currently sit 2nd with an average xGF of 1.81 and xGA of 0.88.
