Stockport County hosts Charlton at Edgeley Park on March 8, 2025, at 12:30 UTC in a crucial League One clash. With Stockport favored at 1.95, a draw at 3.35, and Charlton at 3.8, the odds suggest a close encounter.

Our AI predicts a 1-0 win for Stockport, with a 56% possession advantage. The home side is expected to take 11 shots, hitting the target 5 times, while Charlton should manage 11 shots with 3 on target.

One key factor to consider is goal expectancy. League One trends show that only 46.9% of matches exceed 2.5 goals, and our AI suggests this game will follow suit. The best tip here is Under 2.5 goals at 1.65 odds, with a confidence rating of 4.0/10. A low-scoring affair is likely, especially with Stockport’s predicted defensive control.

Charlton, however, has shown they can upset the odds. Their recent 2-1 away victory over Derby at 5.75 odds proves they can surprise stronger teams. Still, Stockport’s squad value of €11.20m compared to Charlton’s €9.30m suggests they have the edge in quality.

Discipline could play a role, with Charlton expected to pick up two yellow cards compared to Stockport’s one. Corners are predicted to be close (5-4 in favor of Stockport), reinforcing the idea of a tight contest.

Historically, home teams win 41.2% of League One matches, while away sides win just 29.5%. With Stockport’s home advantage and Charlton’s inconsistency, a narrow home victory looks like the best bet.

For bettors, the 1x2 market leans toward Stockport at 1.95 odds, but the safest play is backing Under 2.5 goals. Expect a tense, low-scoring battle where one goal could decide the outcome.
