Free-scoring Stockport host a leaky Bromley
Stockport County welcome Bromley to Edgeley Park on Saturday, 17 October 2026, in round 11 of League One. Jim McNulty’s side are third with 16 points from nine games and came from behind to beat Barnsley 3-1 last weekend. Bromley are 21st with eight points and have lost three games in a row in all competitions, most recently 2-1 at Mansfield. Kick-off is at 16:00, with Seb Stockbridge the referee.
Predicted lineups: Stockport vs Bromley
Stockport’s Harry Wood came off against Barnsley and is expected to miss out, according to Sports Mole, so Jason Adigun is likely to start in attack. Brad Hills is a long-term absentee. Bromley have no new injury concerns, but Andy Woodman made five attacking substitutions in the second half at Mansfield, so changes are possible.
Stockport County Team News & Preview
Stockport have been dangerous at Edgeley Park. They have scored in all five home league games, with results of 1-2, 3-4 against Leicester, 5-1, 1-0 against Peterborough and 3-1 against Barnsley. Last weekend they were 1-0 down at half-time before Kyle Wootton scored twice and Mikael Mandron added a third in the 90th minute.
Wootton has seven goals in nine games and is the focal point of the attack. Stockport are third with a game in hand on leaders Plymouth.

Bromley Team News & Preview
Bromley’s form has dropped off badly. They lost 2-1 at Mansfield last weekend, and that followed EFL Trophy defeats by Brentford U21 (1-0) and Crawley (4-0). They have not kept a clean sheet in nine matches.
The away record is the biggest worry. Bromley have conceded 11 goals in four away league games, including a 7-2 defeat at Sheffield Wednesday, and they also play Leicester on Tuesday.

Stockport vs Bromley: Prediction & Betting Tip
Stockport to win at 1.21 is too short for me, so I want to back their goals. They have scored three or more in three of their five home league games, Wootton is in excellent form, and Bromley concede 2.5 goals per game and nearly three per game away from home. I like Stockport to score at least three.
The strongest counter-argument is that Stockport’s home games are not always one-sided. They beat Peterborough only 1-0 and lost one home game 2-1, and without Wood the attack may be slightly less sharp. But against a defence that has not kept a clean sheet in nine matches, I expect Stockport to get there.
My main bet is Stockport over 2.5 team goals at 1.78 with Winz. My correct-score pick is 3-1.
