Peterborough United travel to Edgeley Park this Saturday to face Stockport County, a fixture that pits the division's 23rd-placed side against the ninth. The Posh head north with just five points from seven games, a total that leaves them a significant 12 points behind the league leaders. They are aiming to build on their morale-boosting 3-1 victory over Colchester United last time out.
That win, secured with goals from Owura Edwards and a Harry Ashfield double, provided a rare bright spot in a difficult start to the campaign. Their recent form reads one win, two draws and two losses from the last five. The team has conceded 14 goals so far this season, a defensive record they will be desperate to tighten.
Stockport, managed by Dave Challinor, have settled into the top half after promotion and represent a significant test. The match officials for the contest have been confirmed, with James Linington appointed as the referee.
Ticket details for the away trip have been released by the club, with supporters advised to check availability in advance. The game is a key opportunity for Peterborough to start climbing the standings from their current lowly position. The squad will be looking to Edwards and Ashfield, who combined for three goals and two assists against Colchester, to provide the attacking threat once more.
