Fixture Analysis
It is a League One clash, Regular Season - 14 as Stockport County welcome AFC Wimbledon to Edgeley Park. Kick-off is set for Saturday 31 October 2026 at 15:00 UTC.
Recent Form
Across all League One games this season, Stockport County have gone 6W 1D 3L from 10 outings — a 1.90 PPG return. Last five: L D W W W. They are averaging 2.10 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. This season is still relatively young for Stockport County, so this record blends games from this season and last.
In front of their own supporters this season, Stockport County have posted 6W 0D 4L at Edgeley Park — 1.80 PPG. They are averaging 2.00 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.
AFC Wimbledon — All Games: 3W 3D 4L from 10 League One fixtures this season — 1.20 PPG. Last five: D D L L L. Their scoring rate of 0.70 per game is modest, conceding 1.50 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their games, reflecting a regular tendency to keep or record clean sheets. This season is still relatively young for AFC Wimbledon, so this record blends games from this season and last.
AFC Wimbledon's away record: 2W 1D 7L from 10 road trips in League One this season (0.70 PPG). Away from home they average 0.60 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel. Their away PPG of 0.70 is notably below their overall 1.20 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.
Stockport County carry the stronger recent momentum — 0.70 PPG ahead of their opponents on 1.90 vs 1.20. The form data is a point in their favour, and where the price allows, it is the cleaner directional bet.
Head to Head
The historical ledger comes down firmly in favour of Stockport County: 5 wins from 6 previous clashes against 1 for AFC Wimbledon, with 0 draws across those contests.
The 6 previous meetings have averaged 1.8 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 15 Apr 2026, ended 2–0 with Stockport County winning.
The historical record gives Stockport County a meaningful edge here — 5 wins from 6 meetings is the kind of ledger that should not be discounted when the form picture is inconclusive. Even away from home, the visitors have struggled to impose themselves in this fixture.
In-Play Profile
Stockport County in-play tendencies (57 games, 29 at home): they score before half-time in 83% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; BTTS occurs in 62% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games (home games).
AFC Wimbledon in-play tendencies (57 games, 29 at away): they score before half-time in 72% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 79% of the time; BTTS occurs in 48% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 59% of games (away games); they fail to score in 42% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Stockport County 58% versus AFC Wimbledon 42%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Stockport County 60% | AFC Wimbledon 49%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Stockport County 2.42 xG and AFC Wimbledon 1.00 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Stockport County attack 1.244 / defence 1.009 | AFC Wimbledon attack 0.764 / defence 1.410. League average goals — home 1.377 / away 1.302. AFC Wimbledon bring a strong defensive rating of 1.410 — this is suppressing Stockport County's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 56 Stockport County games / 56 AFC Wimbledon games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Stockport County 68% | Draw 19% | AFC Wimbledon 13%. Fair-value odds: Stockport County 1.47 | Draw 5.26 | AFC Wimbledon 7.69. The model has a clear lean to Stockport County (68%) — a 55pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 66% | BTTS probability 58% | Total xG 3.42. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 66% — a total xG of 3.42 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS probability of 58% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Summary & Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Stockport County at 68% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 19% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
The Poisson model projects 3.42 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 66% — marginal — conflicting signals confidence, supported by form averaging 2.9 goals per game — though H2H averaging only 1.8 goals per meeting points in the other direction.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 58% on Yes. Form rates are neutral: Stockport County 60% | AFC Wimbledon 30%.
