Competition: EFL Trophy
Market: Stockport County win
Odds: 20/21 @ 1xBet
Turning their attention back to EFL Trophy action on Tuesday night, Stockport will welcome local rivals Wigan to Edgeley Park.
Starting with the hosts, eventually falling to a shock 3-0 drumming at the hands of Luton over the weekend, Stockport will be seeking an immediate response here. Nevertheless, embarking on what has been a public fairytale since opening up the 2025/26 campaign, Dave Challinor’s men are leading the chase at the top of the League One table. Now pencilled in as a standout contender to book a sensational Championship return, the Hatters have broken plenty of long-standing records. Getting November underway with a dominant 3-1 victory away at Tranmere, the Manchester-based outfit have won each of their other four appearances across all competitions. Signing off October with a 3-0 romp against Port Vale, Stockport have also lost just a pair of their previous 10 outings across all competitions. Likewise, Challinor’s side have lost just one of their last seven showdowns at Edgeley Park – a run that stems back to August 19th.
As for the visitors, once again scrapping it out at the foot of the League One table, Wigan are enduring what has been another rut. Despite eventually dragging themselves past sixth-tier outfit Hemel Hempstead earlier in the month as they extended on their FA Cup adventure, the Latics have continued to show some glaring issues. Despite landing a 1-0 win against Port Vale on October 18th, that is the only victory that Ryan Lowe’s side have recorded from their previous 10 consecutive appearances within 90 minutes. Failing to register back-to-back wins since opening up the 2025/26 campaign, Tuesday’s guests have also gained a reputation for their struggles on the road. Including a 4-1 drumming against Bolton on September 20th, Wigan have failed to win any of their first eight straight matchups away from the Brick Community Stadium. In fact, continuing on from last season, Lowe’s side have recorded just a sole win on their travels since way back on January 18th.
