Oxford Utd vs Stockport County Prediction & Betting Tips (27 October)

Oxford United host Stockport County at the Kassam Stadium on Tuesday, 27 October 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 19:45 in this intriguing League One encounter. Oxford enter the fixture seventh in the table with 19 points and unbeaten in seven matches, while second-placed Stockport have collected 23 points and are six games without defeat. The latest team news indicates that Oxford defender Frankie Kent remains sidelined with a cruciate ligament injury, while Stockport are expected to be without Brad Hills and Ryan Rydel.

Aaron Ramsey’s Oxford have built their promising 2026/2027 campaign on organisation and resilience, most recently drawing 0-0 at home with Bradford City. Before that, Kai Andrews scored his first club goal in a 2-1 victory over Wigan Athletic. The U’s also demonstrated their attacking potential with a 3-0 home win against Burton Albion. Captain Cameron Brannagan remains central to their midfield, with Siriki Dembélé, Tyler Goodrham and Gatlin O’Donkor providing further attacking options.

Stockport arrive under Jimmy McNulty with an impressive away record and one of the division’s most productive attacks. Their six-match unbeaten run continued with a 1-1 draw at Notts County, following a convincing 2-0 win at Doncaster Rovers. Kyle Wootton is the player Oxford must contain most carefully after scoring nine league goals, while Oliver Norwood’s passing and set-piece delivery give County another major threat. Lewis Bate could also feature against his former club.

The likely Oxford squad includes Jamie Cumming, Sam Long, Michał Helik, Ciaron Brown, Jack Currie, Brannagan, Dembélé, Goodrham, Andrews, Mark Harris and O’Donkor; Stockport’s options include Owen Whatmuff, Josh Dacres-Cogley, Ethan Pye, Norwood, Bate, Ben Osborn, Jack Diamond and Wootton. European odds have Oxford around 3.45, the draw at 3.85 and Stockport at 2.07, reflecting a competitive contest but slight support for the visitors. With County’s superior attacking momentum and Wootton’s outstanding form, our prediction is Oxford United 1-3 Stockport Cou
