Prediction Peterborough United vs Stockport County 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the League One on 20/11/2025

Preview: Weston Homes Stadium set for a clash of form and fortune

Peterborough United host Stockport County at the Weston Homes Stadium on 20/11/2025 in a match that looks like a textbook opportunity for the visitors to cement momentum. On paper the contrast is stark: Peterborough sit down in 23rd with 13 points from 14 matches, while Stockport are up in second with 28 points from 15 games. The home side have shown sparks — a run of wins in recent cup and league fixtures and a morale-boosting 2-1 victory in the EFL Trophy over Crawley Town last time out — but their league record reveals a team leaking goals and struggling for consistency in the longer run.

Stockport arrive having navigated their own tests in cup action, edging Wigan on penalties in the EFL Trophy, and otherwise producing a generally productive spell in League One. Their attack numbers — more total shots and higher shots on target than Peterborough — underline an offensive thrust that has helped them score 22 goals across the campaign, while also keeping five clean sheets. That balance of threat and relative defensive discipline is what separates them currently.

Tactical undercurrent and recent form

This fixture will likely hinge on which Peterborough turns up. At home they can be lively: a string of recent results suggests they are capable of pressing and creating chances, but the broader season statistics — more goals conceded than scored and only four wins in the league — point to defensive vulnerabilities. Stockport, by contrast, have demonstrated steadiness: fewer losses, more draws converted into points, and a lineup that produces dangerous attacks and generates corners more often. The head-to-head earlier this year finished 1-1, a reminder that Peterborough can make life difficult, but the league trends favor the visitors.

Betting suggestion After weighing form, league position and the bookmaker prices (Stockport priced at 2.14 with a 46.73% implied probability), the clearest value lies with the 1X2 market: back Stockport County to win. Their balance of attacking output, superior overall record and steadier defensive returns give them the edge away from home. A cautious stake size is advised given Peterborough’s capacity to upset visitors, but the best single-play recommendation here is Stockport County to take all three points.
