Cray Wanderers vs Stockport County betting prediction
Cray Wanderers against Stockport County looks like a visitors' day on paper, and the bookmakers agree. The FA Cup, 1/128-finals, kicks off on 8 November 2026 at 14:15. We like Stockport to win, but our main pick is not really a bet on the result. It is a bet that the two teams do not both score.
Cray Wanderers at home, with little to go on
We have no table, no home record and no recent results for Cray Wanderers in front of us, so we cannot describe how they have been playing at home or anywhere else. That is a real gap, and we would rather say so than invent a run. What the market offers is a 7% chance of a Cray win, with best odds of 16.00, and a 13% chance of a draw at best odds of 8.40. The price makes Cray clear underdogs, and we see no reason to argue with it.
Stockport's last five, all competitions
Stockport's figures cover every competition they have played, not just this Cup, so they will not match a league table. Over their last five matches they won three, drew one and lost one, scoring six and conceding three. The defeat was a 1-0 at Oxford United, and the draw a 1-1 at Notts County. The wins came 1-0 at home to Bromley, 2-0 away at Doncaster and 2-1 at home to AFC Wimbledon.
None of those results is a demolition job, and we would not pretend otherwise. What stands out to us is the defensive habit. Stockport kept two clean sheets in that run and went one match without scoring, which tells us their attack is not always firing.
No earlier meeting, no absences reported
No earlier meeting between these clubs is known to us, so there is no head-to-head pattern to read. Neither side has an absence reported. That leaves the recent form and the market, and we give the form more weight, because the market only shows what the bookmakers expect, not what has happened.
Odds, expected goals and our main tip
The bookmakers expect Stockport to score about three and Cray about one, so roughly four goals in total. The most likely exact scores are 0-2 at 10.9%, 0-3 at 10.6% and 1-2 at 8.2%. Both teams to score is priced at 49% with best odds of 1.95, and both teams not to score at 51% with best odds of 1.85. Over 2.5 goals sits at 71% with best odds of 1.34.
Our main tip is Both teams to score: no at odds 1.85, with a chance of 51%. We back it because Stockport kept two clean sheets in their last five and went one match without a goal, and that is the sort of record that makes a Cray goal the only thing that spoils the bet. It wins on 0-1, 0-2, 0-3 and 0-4, and it loses on 1-2 and 1-3. A Stockport win with Cray held scoreless is all it needs. At 51% the edge is thin, though, and one Cray goal ends it, so we would keep the stake modest.
Another tip: Stockport County to win
Our second tip is Stockport County to win at odds 1.17, with a chance of 81%. They have won three of their last five and lost only one, and the market rates them at 81%. The return is small, so we treat it as a banker rather than a profit source. It wins on 0-1, 0-2, 0-3, 0-4, 1-2 and 1-3, which covers more scores than our main tip does.
Other bets we like from the list
If we want something more from the same view, these three are the ones we like:
- Stockport County -1.5 (Asian handicap) at odds 1.48, chance 64%. Stockport must win by two or more. It asks more than the result, but it matches the market's picture of a comfortable win.
- Over 2.5 goals at odds 1.34, chance 71%. It sits comfortably with the expected total of about four, and most of that expected scoring belongs to Stockport.
- Stockport County -1 (Asian handicap) at odds 1.22, chance 77%. A win by two or more wins the bet, while a win by exactly one returns the stake, so it is the cautious version of the same angle.
We would leave the corners alone, since nothing in our figures gives us a clear edge there. Stockport to win the match, with Cray to stay quiet, is the shape of our selections, and we would keep the stakes measured.
