There is no dominant team in H2H matches between Stockport and Bolton. Stockport won five, while their next opponent won three of the previous 12 H2H games. However, Stockport won both matches against Bolton last year, including a big 5-0 victory at Edgeley Park.
Stockport team overview
Stockport had an excellent last season, but it is hard to imagine them repeating that. During the preseason, Dave Challinor's team had only three friendly matches, and they won only one. In the previous game, Stockport lost 1-0 against Hull.
Stockport seems weaker than last season as essential players like Tanto Olaofe, Will Colar, and Fraser Horsfall left the team. The most important addition this summer is Corey O'Keeffe, who came from Barnsley. The team also signed Malik Mothersille (Peterborough), Arttu Hoskonen (Cracovia), Tayo Edun (Peterborough), and Joseph Olowu (Doncaster).

Bolton team overview
Early in the 21st century, Bolton were an important Premier League team, but in the previous few years, they hadn't even been able to return to the second level of English football. However, after a brilliant preseason with five wins from five matches, the confidence ahead of the opening round should be sky-high. In the last test, Bolton won 2-0 against Preston.
Although Bolton left important players like George Thomason, Nathan Baxter, and Ricardo Santos, the team is looking better than last season. The team spent almost two million euros to sign Ethan Erhahon (who came from Lincoln City), Thierry Gale (Rapid Vienna), and Xavier Simons (Hull). They also added a few more valuable players on free transfers and loans.
