Championship promotion will be at stake when Bolton and Stockport County face each other in the League One playoff final at Wembley Stadium. As the two teams seem to be evenly matched ahead of the final, we predict a 1-1 draw. Bolton head into the clash full of confidence after recording back-to-back wins over Bradford in the semifinals, extending their solid recent run to just two defeats in the last ten matches. However, defender Eoin Toal is likely to miss out through injury, which could weaken a backline that has conceded 1.4 goals per game recently. The Trotters have been entertaining to watch, with their last ten matches averaging 3.1 goals per match.
Stockport County also head into the decider in excellent spirits after defeating Stevenage in both semifinal legs. The Hatters average 1.8 goals scored per game over their last ten outings and boast a strong away record, collecting 1.83 points per game on the road. H2H stats slightly favour Stockport, who have won 50% of previous meetings.
As both sides have strong attacking numbers and tend to play open football, we are tempted to bet on Both Teams to Score, alongside Half-Time Draw, and Draw.
This League 1 match will be played on Sunday 24 May 2026 at 13:00.
