Two teams to have made bright starts in the English Football League and Bayern Munich’s enticing showdown with Leipzig feature in today’s tip.

Stockport County vs Bromley in League One, Salford City are at home to Crawley Town in League Two and the Bundesliga holders face opponents two points behind them.

All odds are from bet365 and correct as of 09:30 BST on Saturday, October 17.

Stockport County vs Bromley – Home win @ 1/4

Third in League One, Stockport’s 3-1 win over Barnsley last Saturday was the Hatters’ second successive home win.

Aside from Reading’s haul of 22 goals, County’s total of 20 is two more than any other team in the division, while no side has conceded more than the 20 shipped by Bromley.

Fourth-bottom Bromley have taken one point from their last three away games and conceded four in two games on their travels since a 7-2 defeat at Sheffield Wednesday.

Salford City vs Crawley Town – Home win @ 4/11

They have only prevailed in each of them by a goal, but Salford are on a four-match winning home league run that has helped them top League Two.

By contrast, Crawley have one win from their first eight league games and are bottom by two points, three from safety.

Town came from 2-0 behind to draw 2-2 at home to Chesterfield last Saturday and had lost their previous three league matches, including two away defeats.

Bayern Munich vs Leipzig – Under 4.5 goals @ Evens

There have been six goals in each of the last four Bundesliga meetings between Bayern and Leipzig, but the visitors could make this edition tighter.

While top three Freiburg, Dortmund and Bayern have the best defensive records with four goals conceded each, Leipzig have only shipped five to give Martin Demichelis’ side the next-best total in that respect.

Leipzig have lost their last three away games in all competitions but kept clean sheets in home wins over Frankfurt and PSV over the past week.

Our three-leg acca for October 17, 2026:

Stockport vs Bromley – Home win
Salford vs Crawley – Home win
Bayern vs Leipzig – Under 4.5 goals
