The match finished 1-3 to Stockport County.
Stockport County won the match 3-1.
The match took place on Saturday, 2 May 2026.
Stockport County won 3-1 at Barnsley in League One, though our model had favoured a Stockport victory at only 47 percent probability, so the pick missed. Barnsley arrived in mixed form with two wins, one draw and two losses across their last five matches. Stockport's recent record showed one win and one draw from their last three outings. Both sides had shown modest both-teams-scoring rates in recent fixtures, at 40 percent and 50 percent respectively. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Stockport's promotion credentials are evident; they're 9 points clear of Barnsley in the table. Our model assesses this as a significant gap at this stage of the season. Barnsley's inconsistency contrasts sharply with Stockport's attacking output and defensive solidity. Both sides have shown BTTS potential, though Stockport's superior xG generation and league position suggest they enter as clear favourites in this May fixture.
