Comparative Team Statistics: Stockport County vs Bromley

Past meetings

These two have met a handful of times before, but all in the National League between 2019 and 2022, back when both were at a different level. Stockport won 1-3 away in February 2022, and there were a couple of draws in between.

That history is too old and from a different division to say much about how they'll match up now.

Where they sit in the table

After seven League One games, Stockport are 9th with 10 points from three wins, one draw and three losses. Bromley are down in 19th with 8 points from two wins, two draws and three losses.

The points gap is only two, but the goal difference tells a clearer story: Stockport have scored 16 and conceded 10, while Bromley have scored just 8 and conceded 18.

Bromley's low goal tally is as concerning as their position in the table.

Players to watch

Stockport have two players on four goals each in seven matches, J. Diamond and K. Wootton, with H. Wood not far behind on three. L. Bate leads the assist charts with four, so the creative side of their game looks fairly settled.

Stockport County:

K. Wootton - 5

J. Diamond - 4

H. Wood - 3

Best assist providers:

L. Bate - 4

J. Diamond - 2

Bromley:

Best scorers:

V. Adeboyejo - 4

Penalty cards:

M. Pinnock x 4

For Bromley, V. Adeboyejo has also scored four in seven games, showing they do have a genuine goal threat even if the wider numbers are poor. M. Pinnock has picked up four yellow cards in seven matches, which is worth keeping an eye on given how close that is to a suspension threshold.

How this one could play out

Stockport have scored freely at home this season and Bromley have conceded heavily on the road, which points towards goals for the home side. But Stockport's own defence isn't watertight either, having let in ten in seven games.

Bromley do have Adeboyejo capable of scoring against most defences, so a goal or two at the other end wouldn't be a shock. The overall picture leans towards an open game rather than a tight, low-scoring one.
