Reading

Reading

High-flying Plymouth look unstoppable following three-consecutive league win and given their performance in a 5-1 crushing of Doncaster, we predict that they will defeat Reading 1-0 on Matchday 22. After escaping the relegation zone, Plymouth now aim to move closer to the playoffs berth. With the Pilgrims managing to keep a clean sheet in 57% of their last 7 games in all com... Read More...

Leyton Orient

Leyton Orient

Peterborough aim to extend their winning run in League One to four games and given Leyton's shaky defence, our prediction leans toward a 3-1 home win. With 1.80 points per game both home and away, plus a 60% win rate, the Posh have shown consistency regardless of venue. Their attack averages 2.60 goals per home match, supported by an encouraging 1.47 xG at home, making them ... Read More...

Wycombe

Wycombe

Wycombe aim to claim a major scalp in the League One round 22, but with Luton Town being a real force to be reckoned with at home, 2-0 is our predicted outcome for this fixture. The Hatters average 1.80 points per game at home, scoring 1.80 goals per match while conceding just 0.80, highlighting a much stronger defensive structure in front of their fans. Their 60% BTTS rate ... Read More...

Huddersfield Town head into Friday's clash against Port Vale in fine form and we predict that they will defeat the Valiants 3-1. The Terriers have turned their John Smith's Stadium into a real fortress, collecting 1.80 points per game overall and impressing at home with 2.00 PPG. Their attacking potential has been remarkably consistent, averaging 2.50 goals per home match, w... Read More...

Cardiff City return home looking to rebound from their 2-1 defeat to Lincoln City and given their fine home record, our prediction points toward a 3-1 home win. The Bluebirds have been averaging 2.00 points per game at home and scoring an impressive 2.50 goals per match.

Northampton

Northampton

Burton Albion play host to Northampton Town aiming to build on their recent unbeaten spell, but given the attacking potential of the two teams, a high-scoring 2-2 draw is on the cards. Burton's home form has been steady, averaging 1.40 points per game, supported by a solid defensive structure that has produced a strong 60% clean-sheet rate at the Pirelli. However, the Brewer...

Wigan

Wigan

Bradford aim to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat to Leyton as they return home, where their performances have been far more convincing. As both Bradford and Wigan struggle up front, our prediction leans toward a 1-1 draw. The Bantams average 1.75 points per game at Valley Parade and boast an impressive 75% home clean-sheet rate, conceding just 0.50 goals per home match. Des... Read More...

Bolton look to strengthen their promotion push when they welcome struggling Rotherham and we predict that they will do so with a routine 3-0 win. The Trotters head into this round with an excellent 2.60 points per game at home and an 80% win rate at the Toughsheet Community Stadium. Bolton have been clinical in front of goal, averaging 2.20 home goals and generating 1.93 exp... Read More...

Blackpool continue their push for consistency as they host Doncaster in Friday's relegation six-pointer. Given Doncaster's poor form in December, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 home win. The Seasiders are entering this clash unbeaten in four and averaging 1.75 points per game at home. The Seasiders have been particularly strong going forward at Bloomfield Road, scoring 2....

Barnsley aim to extend their strong home form as they welcome Mansfield to Oakwell in what promises to be an entertaining contest. With Barnsley turning their stadium into a real fortress, we predict a 3-1 home win.

Stevenage

AFC Wimbledon host Stevenage at Plough Lane as both sides look to gain momentum in League One. As the two teams seem to be evenly matched, our prediction leans toward a 1-1 draw. Wimbledon’s recent form has been patchy, with just 0.80 points per game and only one win in their last five matches. At home, they have struggled significantly, scoring only 0.25 goals per match w...

Wycombe host Bolton in a League One clash with contrasting form and fitness situations. Therefore, we predict that the in-form visitors will emerge triumphant in Saturday's encounter (0-1). The Chairboys have struggled recently, earning 1.5 points per game, winning 40% of their matches, and averaging 1.3 goals scored while conceding 1.1 per game. Home form is better, with 2....
