Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Saturday’s football game at Edgeley Park pits together Stockport and Burton, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the 2025/2026 League One season. The Hatters are eyeing Championship promotion, while Burton’s main goal is to secure the League One survival. Stockport will not have a better chance than this to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Bradford, but the hosts will have to prove their worth on the field. Talented forward Nathan Lowe is widely expected to sneak into the starting XI, while all Bate, Camps, and Edun are rated doubtful for the Burton game.
The Brewers, on the have been having their ups and downs in the new League One campaign, with the team beating Mansfield, losing to Barnsley, while sharing the spoils with Port Vale. Burton were beaten by Stockport in their last meeting at Edgeley Park and given the difference in quality between the two teams, there is a big value in betting on the home side. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
Highlighted Team (Burton):

Burton Albion are one of the four clubs that secure promotion to the Championship at the end of the 2015/2016 campaign. The Brewers welcome their rivals at Pirelli Stadium, the venue that was opened in 2005. The capacity of the stadium is 6,912, while the seating capacity of the venue is 2,034.
Burton Albion won the FA Trophy in 1987, with the team winning Football League Two in 2015. During the club’s non-League period, the Brewers’ local rivals were Nuneaton Borough, Tamworth, Stafford Rangers and Gresley Rovers, but while they were playing in the Football League the club’s rivals were Crewe, Port Vale, Notts County and Chesterfield.
Derby County are considered Burton Albion’s rivals as well, but the rivalry with the Rams is rather friendly. The colour of Burton Albion’s home kit is black and yellow, while they wear white and grey jerseys on the travels.
