Hatters can control a decent home game
Stockport County look a lot more reliable at 1.24 than the 9.25 on Bromley or the 5.75 on the tie and that is reflected in the betting for Saturday's League One 2026/2027 clash at Edgeley Park. The Hatters have won three of their last five, including the most recent two, and they're coming into this encounter on the back of a 1-0 home win against Peterborough United and a 3-1 home victory over Barnsley. Jim McNulty has his team playing a patient possession-first 4-2-3-1 system that can control tempo and keep the ball on the ground.
Bromley have been very poor of late, losing their last three games in a row. Andy Woodman's men have been solid defensively at times in League One 2026/2027, but they have been caught out in the last two. They lost 4-0 away to Crawley Town in the EFL Trophy 2026/2027 on Tuesday night and they were beaten 2-1 away to Mansfield Town earlier today in League One 2026/2027.
Bromley have enough to make this interesting
Away outlook
Their away record in League One 2026/2027 tells us that they will come out and try to get forward against Stockport, as they have won only once on the road so far (W1, D1, L2). This will be a contrast in styles between a possession-dominant team and a transition-based team, which is a classic chess match.
Scoring and tactics
Stockport are averaging 2.50 goals per game at home in League One 2026/2027, having scored 10 goals in four games already, and they should have the edge in this clash, but Bromley can certainly nick a goal. They have scored six on the road in four matches in League One 2026/2027, averaging 1.50 per game.
The Ravens will look to play a compact 3-5-2 or 5-3-2, sitting deep and hitting their opponents on the break and from set-pieces. They have the right type of player to make this game interesting, especially if they manage to stay in the game.
Over 2.5 is the top bet
Over 2.5 goals at 1.48 is expected, as it seems likely that Stockport will force the issue and Bromley will have to score to stay in the match. Both Teams to Score at 1.87 is also an excellent choice in this matchup.
- Kyle Wootton is Stockport's main goal threat, with five goals in eight League One 2026/2027 appearances, and he has scored two of his team's last six goals in their previous five.
- Victor Adeboyejo is Bromley's biggest threat, with four goals in seven in 2026/2027, while John McKiernan has scored twice in his last five, netting two of The Ravens' last four goals.
