Final score: Sheffield Wednesday 0–0 Stockport County
Match preview
League One’s unpredictable nature takes centre stage on September 19, 2026, as Sheffield Wednesday welcome Stockport County to Hillsborough. The Owls are enduring a torrid season, reflected in their dismal 4% win rate and a staggering 89 goals conceded. Their recent form, a solitary win, two draws, and two losses in their last five, offers little solace, despite a commendable 1-1 draw in their last encounter with Stockport.
Stockport, meanwhile, arrive with a more balanced, albeit limited, record of one win and one loss from their two matches played this campaign. Their 50% win rate and positive goal difference (3 scored, 2 conceded) paint a picture of a side still finding its rhythm but capable of surprising. The Prenton Park faithful will remember their side’s last visit to Hillsborough ending in a stalemate, suggesting another tight affair. Given Wednesday’s struggles and Stockport’s fledgling season, the home side are slight favourites with a 45% win probability, mirroring the draw, while an away victory stands at a slim 10%. Expect a cautious approach from both sides, with Wednesday desperate to break their losing habit and Stockport keen to exploit any defensive frailties. The battle in midfield and the Owls' ability to contain Stockport's attacks will be key.
