- Leicester City have a poorer recent form (W1, D1, L3), but Stockport County have made a stronger start in League One 2026/2027.
- Stockport have lost only 1 of their 2 home matches in League One 2026/2027 and have scored 6 goals in these 2 games.
- Leicester City have an away record in League One 2026/2027, scoring 0.50 goals and conceding 0.50 goals per away match.
Hatters can take the points at Edgeley Park
The Foxes have made a less-than-ideal start to their campaign in League One 2026/2027 with 5 points from 5 matches, putting them in 17th place. Russell Martin has installed a progressive, high-possession, aggressive counter-pressing style of play, but the results have not quite reflected this yet. Leicester edged out Plymouth 2-0 in their most recent home match in League One 2026/2027, but were then thrashed 4-0 by Oxford at home.
Stockport County sit in third place in League One 2026/2027 with 9 points from 5 matches and their form looks the best of the two sides going into Saturday's game. County have won three and lost two of their last 5 matches, following up a 5-1 trouncing of Wycombe at Edgeley Park the previous weekend with a 4-0 win away at Wigan last weekend.
Leicester will press, but County are the likelier victors
These two clubs have played a contrasting type of football so far this season, with Jim McNulty's Stockport playing a much more regimented, possession-based style, with wing-backs and a more controlled build-up from the back.
The Foxes have been more progressive, playing a high-possession style with aggressive counter-pressing and high-field pressure. Harry Howell has been the driving spark for Leicester in League One 2026/2027, but with just 1 goal in 5 matches for the team so far, they have not yet been clicking in the final third.
Stockport look the more likely winners in this game and Leicester will have to be at their very best to win. County's Harry Wood is the danger man for the Hatters as top scorer in League One 2026/2027 (3 goals in 5 appearances), and they should edge this one.
Stockport are a good price in the draw no bet market
The odds available for this game make little sense with County a shade under evens at 53/50, Leicester a shade against at 209/100 and the draw available at 51/20.
A Stockport draw no bet selection looks like the right call in this one, as the Hatters may just edge a tight, tense match at Edgeley Park. This will be a bit of a midfield chess match, with a lot of possession and plenty of pressure, but the extra pressing edge of Leicester should test Stockport's ability to circulate the ball with calm in the most pressure cooker of conditions.
