Bolton Wanderers, currently showcasing a strong offensive form, have been consistent in scoring with an average of 1.63 goals per match. Their ability to maintain possession at 54.49% and create goal-scoring opportunities through 11.57 shots per game makes them a formidable opponent. However, their defense has been slightly vulnerable, conceding 1.46 goals on average, which Stockport County might exploit.
Stockport County, on the other hand, have demonstrated a solid defensive setup, conceding only 0.92 goals per match. Their offensive prowess is highlighted by Louie Barry, who has netted 15 goals this season, making him a key threat to Bolton's defense. With a possession rate of 52% and a slightly higher shots on target average than Bolton, Stockport County could capitalize on Bolton's defensive lapses.
The head-to-head statistics favor Bolton Wanderers, who have historically performed well against Stockport County. However, Stockport's current form and tactical discipline could turn the tables in this encounter. Both teams are expected to adopt a balanced approach, with Bolton focusing on their attacking strengths and Stockport leveraging their defensive solidity.
