Over 2.5 goalsYes (57%)
Both teams to scoreNo (44%)
Stockport County host AFC Wimbledon at Edgeley Park in League One's 14th round, with the hosts seeking to consolidate their position near the summit. Stockport sit second with 23 points from 13 matches, while Wimbledon languish in 17th on 13 points from 12 games. The gap in quality and trajectory is stark, and the odds reflect a decisive home advantage.
Team form
Stockport County
Stockport have shown the consistency of genuine promotion contenders. Over their last five matches, they have scored 8 goals and conceded 6, winning twice and drawing once. Their most recent outing saw a 1-0 victory over Peterborough, though they were held 0-0 by Sheffield Wednesday beforehand. The season average of 1.85 goals scored per game and 1.00 conceded marks them as a strong attacking unit with a solid defensive foundation. Jim McNulty's 3-4-3 formation has been effective in generating attacking play while maintaining structure.
AFC Wimbledon
Wimbledon's campaign has been troubled. They have won only three of their 12 matches and concede 1.58 goals per game on average—a significant weakness. Their last five outings yielded 5 goals scored and 4 conceded, with two wins offset by a heavy 1-4 defeat to Burton Albion. The 0.67 goals-per-game average underscores an attack that struggles to break down opposition defences. Under Johnnie Jackson, they have adopted a 5-4-1 setup, prioritising defensive stability, but this conservative approach has not translated into results or points accumulation.
Head-to-head
The recent head-to-head record is overwhelmingly in Stockport's favour. In their last five meetings, Stockport have won four times and Wimbledon once. Most significantly, Stockport won 3-0 at home in March 2026 and 1-0 in April 2024. The only Wimbledon victory came at home in January 2023. This pattern suggests Stockport have a clear tactical and psychological edge, particularly when playing at Edgeley Park.
Key factors
Stockport's superior league position and attacking output are decisive advantages. They average nearly two goals per game and have conceded just one per match—metrics that dwarf Wimbledon's struggling defence. Wimbledon's defensive fragility, compounded by an anaemic attack, leaves them vulnerable to Stockport's direct, efficient approach. The home ground advantage at Edgeley Park, combined with Stockport's recent form and historical dominance in this fixture, creates a heavily tilted contest. Wimbledon's 5-4-1 formation is designed to frustrate, but Stockport's attacking midfielders and forward line possess the quality to unlock a rigid defensive shape.
Prediction
Stockport are clear favourites and should control this match. Their superior attacking threat, combined with Wimbledon's defensive vulnerabilities, points to a comfortable home victory. The bookmakers price the home win at 1.26, reflecting the gap in quality. Stockport's recent form—particularly their ability to score multiple goals—suggests they will break through Wimbledon's defensive block. Wimbledon lack the attacking potency to trouble Stockport's defence consistently, making a low-scoring home win the most likely outcome.
Stockport County should win decisively. Back the home win with confidence.
