Sheffield Wednesday - Stockport County

Saturday 19 September 2026 marks a compelling League One encounter as Sheffield Wednesday host Stockport County at Hillsborough for matchday 7. Both sides enter this fixture looking to establish consistency in what has been a high-scoring opening to their respective campaigns. The last time these teams faced one another was in the EFL Cup on 8 August 2023, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw.

Sheffield Wednesday arrive following a goalless stalemate against Wigan Athletic, though they had previously enjoyed a productive run with victories over Peterborough United and Wycombe Wanderers. Stockport County arrive with a more volatile recent record, including a heavy 4-3 defeat to Leicester City and a dominant 4-0 win against Wigan Athletic. With both teams showing a capacity for finding the net, the tactical discipline displayed at Hillsborough will likely determine the outcome of this contest.
