Stockport to win promotion from the English League One has shortened from 8/13 to 8/15 at Skybet, with four of ten bookmakers cutting odds. See why.
The odds on Stockport to win promotion from the English League One have been slashed from 8/13 to 2/5 with Star Sports after another clean sheet away from home put the rest of the division on notice.
Stockport won 2-0 at Doncaster on Tuesday, with Mamadou Jobe and Kyle Wootton scoring after the break.
Four of ten bookmakers have cut their odds on Stockport to win promotion from the English League One.
The best price still available is 8/15 with Skybet, and Paddy Power match it.
Huddersfield are next in the betting at 1/1 with Betfred, a long way clear of everyone below them except Stockport.
Tuesday's 2-0 win at Doncaster was Stockport at their most stubborn. Jimmy McNulty's side kept the ball for long spells, gave the home side nothing to work with and then struck twice in quick succession after half-time. Mamadou Jobe bundled in the opener from a scramble in the box, and Kyle Wootton was on hand to follow up when Oliver Norwood's penalty was saved. That came straight after a 1-0 win over Bromley at Edgeley Park, so Stockport now have back-to-back clean sheets, and that is the foundation this whole story rests on.
Teams that stop conceding move promotion markets, and Stockport have won their last three matches in League One without needing to be spectacular. The bookmakers have stopped waiting for a wobble: four of ten firms have cut their odds on Stockport. You can understand why. A side that wins ugly on the road is usually the one still near the top of the log when the run-in arrives, and the Stockport odds have come in to reflect exactly that.

Are Stockport favourites to win promotion from the English League One?
Stockport are the favourites at a best price of 8/15 with Skybet, and on their current defensive form it is hard to argue with the bookmakers. Huddersfield are the nearest challengers after Joe Taylor's brace helped them to a 4-1 thrashing of Peterborough on Tuesday, so they are not going away quietly. Bradford City kept pace too, beating Stevenage at Valley Parade on Saturday. Leicester round off the leading group, but the gap between Stockport and the chasing pack tells you which side the market trusts most right now.
Stockport – 8/15 with Skybet, the shortest price in the market after consecutive clean sheets.
Huddersfield – 1/1 with Betfred, firm second favourites with the goals flowing.
Bradford City – 5/2 with Betfred, a price matched by Bet Victor.
Leicester – 11/4 with Paddy Power, also available with Betfair Sportsbook and Skybet.

Can Stockport win promotion from the English League One?
The next week is a proper examination of that clean-sheet habit. Saturday's trip to Notts County comes first, followed by a visit to Oxford next Tuesday, and Oxford are undefeated in 12 of their last 13 matches in League One. That is a stubborn home side by any measure, although Stockport carry the psychological edge into that one, because Oxford are still waiting for their first win over them in previous meetings. Our take is simple. The price is short, but it is short for a reason: Stockport keep the door shut, and they have Jobe and Wootton to nick the goals at the other end. If they come through both of those away days without leaking goals, nobody will be talking about the price being too skinny.
