Competition: League One
Market: Both teams to score
Odds: 1/1 @ BetUS
Two sides who have their sights set on mounting their own respective play-off charges this season, Stockport will welcome Bradford to Edgeley Park on Tuesday night.
Starting with the hosts, while Stockport might have suffered play-off heartbreak last season, Dave Challinor̢۪s side are once again pencilled in as a standout top-six contender this time around. Despite eventually having to settle for an action-packed 2-2 stalemate away at Leyton Orient last weekend, Tuesday̢۪s hosts have come flying out of the traps since opening up the 2025/26 campaign. Getting proceedings underway on August 3rd with an eye-catching 2-0 win at home against Bolton, the former Hartlepool boss has seen his play-off contenders register seven points from their first three League One appearances. Extending on their EFL Cup adventure last week as they cruised their way to a routine 3-1 victory against Crewe, Stockport have also continued to impress with their clinical displays in the final third. Continuing on from last season, the Blues have bagged at least a pair of goals in 11 of their previous 13 matchups across all competitions.
As for the visitors, although Bradford might have only made their League One return this season, Graham Alexander̢۪s high-flying squad have enjoyed a stellar start to proceedings. Last seen over the weekend putting in another impressive performance as they claimed a 2-1 win at home against Luton, the Bantams have rightfully received plenty of plaudits. Getting their third-tier return underway with another 2-1 victory against Wycombe on August 2nd, it is no secret that the former Salford boss has his sights firmly set on mounting another promotion charge this time around. However, winning just one of their final five League Two appearances last season, Tuesday̢۪s guests are still searching for some defensive stability. Along with registering just a single clean sheet from any of their first four matchups across all competitions, Bradford have also failed to register consecutive clean sheets since the end of February.
