Leyton Orient

Leyton Orient

AFC Wimbledon return home looking to regroup after a narrow 1–0 loss to Stevenage. Given Wimbledon's fine home form, we predict a 2-0 win. There are no new injuries, and the competition for starting spots is heating up, with Nelson, Bugiel, and Reeves all pushing for inclusion. At home, Wimbledon have been excellent: 80% home win rate, 2.40 PPG, and scoring 2.4 goals per g... Read More...

Port Vale

Port Vale

Blackpool aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Doncaster, but with Port Vale being in a much better form, we predict a 1-0 away win. The Seasiders enter this match in troubling form and with fresh defensive concerns. Fraser Horsfall is suspended after his red card in the 2–1 defeat to Doncaster, weakening a back line that already concedes 2.20 goals per game overall and keeps... Read More...

Doncaster

Doncaster

Bolton aim to return home after an entertaining 2–2 draw with Rotherham and will likely be without Corey Blackett-Taylor, meaning Thierry Gale could be handed a bigger role in attack. Anyhow, we predict a 2-1 home win as Doncaster struggle defensively on the road. Despite the aforementioned potential absence, Bolton remain in excellent form, unbeaten in their last five mat...

Mansfield

Bradford City return to Valley Parade aiming to bounce back from their 2-0 defeat to Wigan Athletic, but their home form remains a major strength. As the Bantams have been impressive at home of late, we predict a 2-0 win.

Reading

Burton Albion head into this clash after a confidence-boosting 2–0 win over Northampton Town, but injuries remain a concern with Jones, Revan, and Webster all sidelined. With Reading finding their form, our prediction points toward a 2-1 away win.

Wycombe

Cardiff City head into this clash full of confidence after a dominant 4–0 win over Exeter City, and boss Brian Barry-Murphy is expected to stick with the same lineup. As Wycombe have been having their ups and downs on the road, we predict a 2-1 home win. Cardiff have been strong at home, winning 75% of their matches and averaging 2.75 goals per game, while their overall at... Read More...

Lincoln

Huddersfield Town return home after a goalless draw with Port Vale, aiming to strengthen their playoff position. However, we predict a 1-0 away win as league leaders Lincoln City look unstoppable at the moment.

Luton Town continue their push for the playoffs after a solid 2–1 win over Wycombe Wanderers. As Luton have turned their Kenilworth Road into a real fortress, we predict a 2-1 home win. Injuries to Baptiste and Mengi have not disrupted their rhythm, especially at home where they average 2.00 points per game and score 1.8 goals per match. Luton’s attacking output is backe...

Peterborough United will look to respond to a 2–1 defeat against Leyton Orient, though they could be without Carl Johnston. Despite this potential setback, we predict a 2-1 home win as Rotherham continue with their old habit of struggling on the travels. The Posh are highly entertaining at home, averaging a massive 6.0 goals per game, scoring 3.67 but conceding 2.33. Their... Read More...
