Premium Tips

Andy leans towards Stockport, who look the sharper side.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Stockport to win and both teams to score3/1Stockport have started the season strongly, scoring nine goals in four games, and they hold a good recent record over Wigan, winning the last league meeting 4-2 and a 2-0 before that. Wigan have been leaky, conceding seven in four, which underpins both a Stockport win and the both-teams angle, while Stockport’s own defence has shipped six in four, so Wigan should find the net too.
Kyle Wootton and Sonny Perkins to score anytime15/2Wootton is the strong leg: a prolific League One marksman with 65 goals for Stockport in the sample, facing a Wigan defence conceding freely. Perkins is a regular Wigan starter this season generating heavy shot volume, 14 attempts across five games, against a Stockport back line that has shipped six in four.

How Wigan go into the game

Wigan were beaten 1-0 at AFC Wimbledon last time out, a frustrating afternoon. The DW is where they must find their form.

Committed but short of a spark, Wigan will look to frustrate Stockport. A response in front of their own fans is the aim.

How Stockport go into the game

Stockport hammered Wycombe 5-1 last time out, a statement of intent. Confidence will be sky-high heading to Wigan.

Dangerous and full of running, Stockport are early promotion contenders. Backing up that win on the road is the target.
