Team Reviews
Stockport County are entering this EFL Trophy Group C match at Edgeley Park on November 11, 2025, in decent form, sitting 9th in League One with 17 points from 13 matches (5 wins, 2 draws, 6 losses). Their recent form shows two wins and two losses in the last five league games, including a 1-0 win over Cambridge United but a 2-1 loss to Reading. They’ve scored 14 goals and conceded 16, averaging 1.1 goals scored and 1.2 conceded per game. At home, Stockport are strong, winning 3 of 6 league games, with goalkeeper Ben Hinchliffe keeping 2 clean sheets. Coach Dave Challinor’s 4-3-3 relies on Fraser Horsfall’s aerial presence and Will Collar’s finishing (3 goals). No major injuries are reported, but the team’s inconsistency (3 wins in 9) is a concern. Stockport will aim to leverage their home crowd to secure a group win and advance.
Wigan Athletic are struggling, sitting 20th with 11 points from 13 matches (3 wins, 2 draws, 8 losses). Their recent form includes one win and three losses in the last five league games, with a 1-0 win over Leyton Orient but a 2-0 loss to Shrewsbury Town. They’ve scored 10 goals and conceded 18, averaging 0.8 goals scored and 1.4 conceded per game. Away form is poor, with no wins in 6 road games (2 draws, 4 losses). Coach Shaun Maloney’s 4-2-3-1 depends on Charlie Wyke’s finishing (4 goals) and James Carragher’s creativity. Injuries to Jason Kerr (knee) and doubts over Tom Watson (hamstring) weaken their squad. Wigan will focus on defensive organization and counters, seeking their first away win since August.
Head to Head
Stockport County and Wigan Athletic have met 8 times since 2014, with Stockport winning 3, Wigan 3, and 2 draws, averaging 2.1 goals per game. Wigan won the last two encounters, including a 2-0 league win in 2018 and a 1-0 EFL Trophy win in 2017. At Edgeley Park, Stockport have won 2 of the last 4, with 1 draw. Both teams scored in 50% of the last 8 meetings. Stockport’s 1-0 Cambridge win and Wigan’s 1-0 Orient win suggest a tight, low-scoring affair.
Prediction
Stockport’s home strength (3 wins in 6) and Wigan’s winless away run (0-2-4) give the hosts an edge, but Wigan’s historical balance and Wyke’s threat keep it close. Stockport’s defense (1.2 conceded per game) should hold firm. I predict a 1-0 Stockport win, with Collar or Fraser Horsfall scoring, and Wigan failing to break through. Stockport’s win probability is around 50%, reflecting their 1-0 Cambridge win and Wigan’s 2-0 Shrewsbury loss. Expect Stockport to edge possession (around 51%) and corners (5-7), with Wigan relying on counters. The game will be cautious, with Stockport securing three points to push for playoffs.
