Stockport County
- Stockport County have won three and lost only one of their six home league games (W3, D2, L1).
- Dave Challinor has done a superb job with Stockport County since taking over as manager in November 2021, forging a team that have a clearly defined identity as promotion chasers.
- The Hatters are fourth in the division with 22 points from 12 games and have been in excellent form in the early part of this season, which is relevant for those considering this Stockport County vs Exeter City FC betting tips.
Exeter City FC
- Exeter City FC have won two and lost four of their six away League One 2025-2026 games (W2, D0, L4).
- Exeter City FC occupy 13 points from the same number of games played and appear to be going nowhere fast.
Head-to-Head
Our main selection for the clash is a Stockport win at 1.5 because Challinor’s side are in better form, have won the previous two meetings in this division and have home advantage, making this Stockport County vs Exeter City FC betting tips preview favour the hosts.
Key Players
- Caldwell’s men have a target man in Josh Magennis, who has four goals in ten League One appearances, but they lack Stockport’s creativity and will have to rely on the forward’s clinical finishing and the Grecians’ defensive discipline to get anything from this game.
-
Stockport have the width to stretch Exeter’s defence and enough height and power in the midfield area to cause problems from set-pieces and long throws.
- Kyle Wootton, who has five goals in 12 League One appearances and two in his last five, could be the difference in this matchup.
