Latest Stockport vs Wolverhampton U21 football prediction
Having been playing in the National League in 2022, Stockport County have made an impressive rise to the Third Division of English football in just three years. Last season, the Greater Manchester club even narrowly escaped the pressure of the EFL Trophy, finishing third in League One and just 270 minutes away from promotion to the Championship, before being unexpectedly eliminated in the play-off semi-finals by Leyton Orient thanks to the brilliance of Charlie Kelman.
Stockport started the 2025-26 season in fine form with three consecutive wins in League One and the EFL Cup, but have since won just one of their last five games. Dave Challinor's side continued their inconsistent form this weekend, holding Wigan Athletic to a 1-1 draw at The Brick Community Stadium, despite Jayden Fevrier opening the scoring early.
Kyle Wootton has made a big impact in the early stages of the season, having been directly involved in four goals (two goals, three assists) in just six League One games. He also assisted Fevrier’s first goal of the season against Wigan.
One of 16 academy teams competing in this season's EFL Trophy, Wolverhampton Wanderers U21s will be aiming to improve on their 2024-25 campaign, when they were eliminated in the group stage with just one point from three games.
However, the start of the new season has shown signs of improvement. Wolves U21 are unbeaten in their first three Premier League 2 games, finishing third behind Chelsea U21 and Leicester U21. The standout performer has been 19-year-old Tom Edozie, who scored twice, including off the bench in Friday's 3-1 win over Blackburn U21.
James Collins’ side have lost just one competitive game this season, but that was against older opposition Wealdstone in the National League Cup (1-2). Wolves’ U21s are now winless in five consecutive EFL Trophy games, with their last win coming in September 2023 when they beat Notts County 2-1.
