I'm backing Stockport County to beat AFC Wimbledon 1-0 on 31 October 2026 at 18:00. Stockport are in a different league right now. They've won six of their last ten matches and concede just 0.70 goals per game at home. I've watched them win five of their six previous meetings with Wimbledon, and the pattern is clear: they control these fixtures. Kyle Wootton leads their attack with nine League One goals this season, joint-top in the division.
Wimbledon are struggling badly. I see a team that's lost four of their last five matches and averages 0.70 goals per game overall. They're missing six players, including key attacking options. When I look at the head-to-head record, Wimbledon have won just once in six meetings with Stockport. This is a mismatch.
Form and H2H
I track Stockport's last ten matches closely. They've posted six wins, two draws, and two losses, scoring 1.70 goals per game while conceding under 0.70. At Edgeley Park specifically, I see three wins from their last four outings. That's the form of a team firing.
My read of the head-to-head tells the story I need. Stockport won 3-0 in March 2026 and 2-0 in April 2026. Before that, they took a 1-0 win in September 2024 and another 1-2 victory in September 2023. Wimbledon's sole win came in January 2023. I'm looking at a Stockport side that dominates this fixture, and I'm taking them to do it again with a clean sheet.
Best bet
I'm taking Stockport County to win at 1.27 with 1xBet. The price is tight because the market knows what I know: Stockport are the clear favorites here. I'll also pair this with Both Teams Score No at 1.90, because Wimbledon's attacking form is dire and Stockport's defense is stingy. I'm not chasing a 1-0 correct score at inflated odds. I'm taking the home win and the clean sheet separately, which gives me better value and flexibility.
The Under 2.5 goals line sits at 2.49 on 1xBet. I'd consider that too, given only two of Stockport's six previous meetings with Wimbledon produced more than two goals. My core play is the home win at 1.27.
Odds to watch
I'm monitoring the Both Teams Score market. 1xBet prices it at 1.81 for yes and 1.90 for no. I lean toward no because Wimbledon simply cannot score consistently. Their 0.70 goals per game average away from home is damning.
The Over 2.5 line is 1.42 on 1xBet, and the Under 2.5 is 2.49. I've seen only two of six Stockport-Wimbledon meetings go over 2.5 goals, so the under appeals to me more. If I'm wrong about the clean sheet, I still expect a low-scoring affair. Stockport's defensive record at home makes this a low-scoring fixture by default.
