A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : England: League One
Venue: Edgeley Park
Saturday 23rd August 2025, 1500hrs (GMT)
Stockport County will be looking to bounce back from a 2-1 midweek defeat at home to Bradford City on Saturday afternoon when they play host to Burton Albion in this upcoming League One clash at Edgeley Park.
Stockport County had previously collected three wins on the trot as The Hatters had registered early season wins in the English third tier against the likes of Bolton Wanderers and Wycombe Wanderers along with a 1st round win in the EFL Cup over League Two outfit Crewe Alexandra.
Dave Challinor’s side currently occupy 8th place in the League One table but all three points here on Saturday afternoon could lift the hosts as high as 4th place if they manage this along with other results going their way.
Burton Albion sit in 16th place in the League One table having won, drawn and lost in equal measure within their opening three league matches so far this campaign along with beating Tranmere Rovers 5-4 on penalties in the 1st round of the EFL Cup.
The Brewers started this new campaign off in positive fashion as they registered a 2-1 home win against Mansfield Town but a 3-2 loss away from home at Barnsley along with being held to a 0-0 draw at home by 10-man Port Vale mean the visitors head into this weekend’s action sitting in the lower half of the table.
Burton Albion finished last season winning just twice in their final eight games of the campaign and the visitors finished just one place and one point above the relegation zone.
The Betting Verdict
Stockport County reached the play-offs in last season’s League One campaign but if they’re to at least match last season’s exploits, the hosts need to win these sort of games at home.
The Pick :
Stockport County 2-1 Burton Albion
