Stockport vs AFC Wimbledon Match Summary
Competition | English League One |
|---|---|
Match Date | Saturday 31 October 2026 |
Match Time | 15:00 UK time |
Venue (City, Stadium) | Stockport, Edgeley Park |
Edgeley Park hosts its annual Remembrance fixture as Stockport vs AFC Wimbledon pits a League One promotion chaser against a side sliding the wrong way.
Jimmy McNulty's Hatters sit 2nd and still hold an automatic promotion spot. Tuesday's 1-0 defeat at Oxford United did mean back-to-back league games without a win, though.
AFC Wimbledon have slipped to 17th. Johnnie Jackson's side are winless in eight in all competitions, and Tuesday's home defeat to Arsenal's U21s in the EFL Trophy summed up their slump.
Stockport County have won their last 4 matches against AFC Wimbledon in all competitions. The Stockport vs AFC Wimbledon betting odds tell the same story, with the hosts 2/7 with BetGoodWin.
Stockport vs AFC Wimbledon Form
Stockport's form is still among the best in the division, so the slip at Oxford looks more like a blip than a crisis. This is a side built on possession, short passing and through balls, with Kyle Wootton the man on the end of it. Games stay tight, too: under 2.5 goals landed in 6 of their last 7 League One outings.
AFC Wimbledon have failed to win their last 6 matches in League One. Only one side in the division carries a worse form ranking, and cup duty brought no relief either. Their last league outing was a draw against Wycombe, and Jayden Stockley remains the one forward offering a regular threat.

Stockport

Stockport vs AFC Wimbledon Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Stockport 3-0 AFC Wimbledon. Our Stockport vs AFC Wimbledon prediction is a comfortable home win, with the hosts better on the ball, sharper in the final third and facing a side that rates poorly for finishing.
Best Bets
Under 3.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. Stockport's recent games have been low scoring and the projected total is around 2.8 goals. The projected total sits at 2.82 goals, comfortably inside the line. Stockport tend to strangle games rather than turn them into shootouts, and even our home win projection leaves room under this line.
Both Teams To Score: No. Stockport are expected to control the game against an AFC Wimbledon side that struggles to finish chances. Stockport County have kept a clean sheet in their last 3 home matches against AFC Wimbledon in all competitions. The projection has the visitors on just 0.69 goals, and finishing is the weakest part of their game.
Stockport vs AFC Wimbledon Bet Builder
Our Stockport vs AFC Wimbledon bet builder tips combine three legs: a home win, Kyle Wootton to score anytime and both teams to score.
Stockport to win. The hosts carry the second-best form in the division, while Wimbledon carry the second-worst, and that gap is hard to ignore.
Kyle Wootton to score anytime. The forward has scored in 4 of his last 6 League One apps and is the focal point of everything Stockport create.
Both teams to score. This is the leg that does the heavy lifting on price, needing a Wimbledon goal from Jayden Stockley, who has scored in 3 of his last 5 League One apps.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 29/10 and is as short as 13/5 elsewhere.

Stockport vs AFC Wimbledon Talking Points
The tactical clash is simple enough. Stockport want the ball, play short and attack through the middle, while Wimbledon go long, cross often and play with width. That suits the hosts, who rate well in aerial duels and at defending set pieces, so the visitors' main route to goal runs straight into a Stockport strength. The opener matters too: Stockport hold a 100% winning record in League One this season when scoring first, and they are good at protecting a lead. Backing Wimbledon at 11/1 with 10Bet needs a leap of faith their recent outings simply do not justify, which is why our Stockport vs AFC Wimbledon best bets lean firmly towards the hosts.
