- Sheffield Wednesday are in good form (W3, D1, L1) and are top of League One 2026/2027 with 13 points from their six games.
- Stockport County, with 9 points from their 6 matches, have played a mixed bag (W2, L3) and sit in 8th place.
- Sheffield Wednesday have scored seven goals in three home League One 2026/2027 matches and Stockport have scored 7 in 3 away fixtures, so both teams to score looks likely.
Owls fancied to edge close contest
Two in-form teams go toe to toe in League One 2026/2027 on Saturday as Sheffield Wednesday, in first with 13 points from 6 games, take on Stockport County, who are 8th with 9 from 6 games.
Sheffield Wednesday have taken 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss from their 3 home games in League One 2026/2027 so far so Hillsborough hasn't been much of a fortress in 2026/2027. However, the Owls have been scoring plenty of goals (7 in 3 games) and should have the edge in this contest as they come up against a team that they beat 5-2 in the 2023/2024 EFL Cup.
Wednesday's last two results have been a 1-2 away win over Peterborough United in League One 2026/2027 and a 0-0 home draw with Wigan Athletic. Henrik Pedersen has done a fine job since taking charge of the Owls on 31 July 2025 and has drilled them into a compact side that will be extremely tough to break down.
Jim McNulty took charge of Stockport County on 1 July 2026 and inherited a possession-based side that likes to press and get their players moving between the lines in midfield. The Hatters have played some good stuff in recent weeks, particularly when they thumped Wigan Athletic 0-4 away from home, but they were unable to get past Leicester City at home last weekend, losing 3-4.
Pedersen’s men to edge it at Hillsborough
Two very different sides who are in different form come together in a game that looks to be close and interesting. McNulty's men are in possession of a fine away record in League One 2026/2027 so far, going 2-0-1, while Wednesday have shown a tendency to falter at home, so the Hatters are favourites here at 59/50.
However, Wednesday are only 21/10 away and it's worth siding with the hosts to nick this one. Both sides have the ability to score plentiful goals on their day and both teams to score at 1/2 looks like the best way to go here.
Jamal Lowe is Wednesday's main man and with 4 goals in 5 League One 2026/2027 games, he has already supplied 3 of their last 10 goals in the last 5 games. Harry Wood is Stockport's sharp edge and the ex-Chelsea man has 3 goals in 5 League One 2026/2027 fixtures and a knack of arriving in the right place at the right time.
