Prediction Stevenage vs Bromley 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the EFL Trophy on 07/10/2025

Preview: Lamex Stadium set for an intriguing EFL Trophy tie

Stevenage will welcome Bromley to the Lamex Stadium on 07/10/2025 in what promises to be a compelling Southern Group Stage encounter in the EFL Trophy. The hosts arrive brimming with confidence after a purple patch of results across competitions, while Bromley arrive as a team that has been hard to beat but difficult to pin down. Referee Elliot Swallow will take charge of the evening kick-off as both sides chase progress in a competition that can be a springboard for momentum midweek.

Stevenage’s recent run reads like a team in form: victories over Luton Town (2-0), Leyton Orient (3-2) and Exeter City (2-1) underline a side that can score freely and close out matches when it matters. Their attacking numbers back that up — an average of 20 total shots and 10 shots on target across the sample indicates a team willing to take risks in the final third, and their group performance shows five goals scored with just one conceded. That solidity at the back and efficiency going forward have them topping their group early and with clear momentum heading into this fixture on home turf.

Head-to-head dynamics and where this game could be won

Bromley carry a different profile into Stevenage: fixtures peppered with draws and high-scoring affairs. Their last result — a 3-3 draw with Tranmere Rovers — is emblematic of a side capable of producing fireworks but also of opening themselves up at the back. Their statistics suggest they generate dangerous attacks at a high rate and dominate certain phases of play; a striking figure is a corners average that jumps off the page and an aggressive approach that yields a steady flow of chances. However, conversion and defensive consistency have been problematic at times, leaving room for a home side to exploit.

On paper and in form, the contest looks tilted towards Stevenage. They bring superior attacking volume and a recent habit of turning good performances into wins. Bromley’s propensity for draws and high-scoring matches gives this tie a lively edge; supporters should expect chances at both ends, but Stevenage have the sharper cutting edge and the home advantage to settle matters.

Betting suggestion

Based on recent form, attacking output and home advantage, the best single-market pick here is a 1X2 selection: back Stevenage to win. Stevenage’s sequence of wins and clear goal threat at the Lamex Stadium makes them the most reliable outcome in this clash.
