Stockport County - AFC Wimbledon betting tip & best odds | 31.10.2026
Stockport County host AFC Wimbledon at Edgeley Park on Saturday, 31 October 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 16:00 in League One’s 14th matchday. Second in the table with 23 points, Stockport will look to respond to a narrow defeat, while 17th-placed Wimbledon arrive hoping to halt a difficult run.
Our betting tips for Stockport County vs AFC Wimbledon
Stockport have the stronger season record, a more productive attack and the advantage of playing at Edgeley Park. Wimbledon’s recent results and away form make the home side the more convincing choice in this fixture. Our first sports betting tip is a Stockport win, though the price is short and may suit bettors who are comfortable backing the clear favourite.
- Stockport County to win (Tip 1) — 1.27: Stockport sit second with 23 points and have scored 24 goals in 13 league matches. They have also won four of six at home. Wimbledon, by contrast, have lost four of their six away league games and have just eight goals overall. Those numbers support the home-win selection for today’s football prediction.
- Both teams to score — Yes — 1.91: Stockport’s attacking output gives them a strong chance of finding the net, while Wimbledon have conceded 19 league goals. The visitors have struggled to score consistently, so this selection carries more uncertainty than the home win; still, the price offers a reasonable alternative if Wimbledon can make the most of a chance or two.
These betting tips today reflect the contrast between Stockport’s position near the top and Wimbledon’s struggles near the lower end of the table. As always, compare the available markets and odds before placing a bet, and only wager what you can afford to lose.

Stockport County performance check
Stockport have made an impressive start to their League One campaign. They are second after 13 matches, with seven wins, two draws and four defeats for a total of 23 points. Their goal difference is also a positive one: 24 scored and 13 conceded. That scoring rate gives Jimmy McNulty’s side a strong platform, particularly against a team that has shipped goals regularly.
At home, Stockport have won four of six league matches and lost the other two, with no draws. That record suggests they are capable of turning Edgeley Park into a useful advantage, even if they have not been entirely consistent on their own ground. Their latest result was a 0–1 away defeat to Oxford United, also their most recent League One outing. It ended a run that had included three wins and a draw across their previous five matches in all competitions. Overall, Stockport’s last-five record stands at three wins, one draw and one defeat, so the Oxford loss should be viewed in the context of a generally productive spell.
McNulty’s challenge will be to help his team regain momentum without losing the attacking intent that has brought them 24 league goals. Against Wimbledon’s vulnerable defence, patient pressure and good use of home possession could prove decisive.
How is AFC Wimbledon currently doing?
AFC Wimbledon are 17th with 13 points, having recorded three wins, four draws and five defeats. Their eight goals scored are the lowest of the two teams by a considerable margin, while 19 conceded points to defensive issues that have contributed to their position. Johnnie Jackson’s side will need a more reliable balance at both ends if they are to take points from one of the division’s leading teams.
The away figures are a concern ahead of this trip. Wimbledon have won once, drawn once and lost four times in six League One away matches. Their recent form across all competitions is also poor: they have not won any of their last five, drawing once and losing four. The latest result was a 1–2 home defeat to Arsenal FC U21 in all competitions. In their most recent league match, they drew 1–1 at home with Wycombe Wanderers, which at least stopped the run of defeats in league play, but it did little to erase the wider concerns.
Wimbledon’s low goal total means they may have to be especially efficient when opportunities arise. A disciplined defensive performance could keep them in contention, but conceding early would put further pressure on an attack that has not produced many goals this season.
The last direct duels
Stockport have had the upper hand in recent meetings. Across the last five head-to-head matches in all competitions, they have won four times, while Wimbledon have claimed one victory; there have been no draws. The most recent meeting ended 2–0 to Stockport, with the same scoreline recorded in the latest League One encounter. That result offers a useful reference point, although the teams’ current form and match conditions will shape this fixture anew.
The head-to-head pattern adds weight to Stockport’s favouritism, but it should not be treated as a guarantee. Wimbledon will be looking to disrupt the hosts’ rhythm and avoid repeating the defensive problems that have marked parts of their campaign.
Match conclusion and prediction
Stockport enter this match with the stronger league position, better scoring numbers, a more convincing recent record and a clear advantage in the recent head-to-head results. Their home form is not flawless, but four wins from six at Edgeley Park is a solid return. Wimbledon’s away record and current run of results make the task particularly demanding, especially against a side that has scored three times as many league goals.
The most likely outcome is a home victory, and Stockport are the logical choice for the main prediction. The 1.27 price reflects their status as a strong favourite, so bettors should consider whether that return suits their approach. Both teams to score is a more speculative option: Stockport should create chances, but Wimbledon’s limited goal output makes their contribution far from certain.
