Stockport County welcome Barnsley to Edgeley Park on Saturday afternoon, kick-off 3pm, with the free-scoring hosts strongly fancied against a struggling visiting side.
Our Stockport vs Barnsley predictions and betting tips are below, with Anthony Eadson’s best bets and score prediction.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson backs Stockport’s in-form striker.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Kyle Wootton to score anytime | 11/10 (Ladbrokes) | Kyle Wootton has been in sparkling form, leading League One’s scoring charts with five goals in eight games as Stockport have hit 17 in total, the division’s joint-best tally. County can punish anyone, as a 4-0 romp at Wigan underlined. Barnsley sit 18th and have conceded 12, keeping only one clean sheet, so Wootton should get his chances. He also struck in that emphatic 4-0 win at Wigan. At odds-against for the division’s top marksman, the anytime market looks the standout play. |
| Stockport County 2-1 Barnsley | 15/2 (bet365) | Stockport score for fun but are not immune at the back, shipping 10 already, and Barnsley have shown they can land a goal, with wins over Blackpool and at Leyton Orient earlier in the campaign. A comfortable home win that still sees the visitors register feels the likeliest shape of the game, rather than a clean-sheet procession. County have found the net in every home game this term, so the goals should keep coming. The 2-1 correct score, at 15/2, offers a tidy price on County taking the points while Barnsley get on the board at Edgeley Park. |

How Stockport County go into the game
Stockport County sit fifth and boast the division’s sharpest attack with 17 goals, including a 4-0 win at Wigan.
County are not flawless at the back, however, having conceded 10 and slipped to a 2-0 defeat at Luton during that run.
How Barnsley go into the game
Barnsley arrive 18th, a 1-1 home draw with Leicester last time out offering some respite after heavy losses to Plymouth and Stevenage.
The Tykes have leaked 12 goals and kept just one clean sheet, so shutting out County looks a tall order.
