Port Vale

Port Vale

Mansfield return to League One action looking to build on a strong run of four consecutive league wins, despite a wave of departures during the January window. Given Port Vale's shaky defence, especially on the road, our prediction still leans toward a 2-1 home win. Nigel Clough’s side have been far more effective on the road, but their home form remains concerning, earnin... Read More...

Lincoln

Lincoln

Luton Town aim to strengthen their promotion push as they host second-placed Lincoln in one of the standout fixtures of Round 27. Given Lincoln's difficulties at the back on the road, we predict a 2-1 home win. Despite missing Richards, Jones, Baptiste and Adebayo, the Hatters continue to perform well, recently edging Stevenage 2–1. Their home form has been particularly st... Read More...

Reading

Reading

Leyton Orient return to League One action hoping to stabilise after a poor run, taking just 0.80 points per game overall and only 1.00 PPG at home. However, we predict a 2-1 away win as Reading have found their best form of late. Injuries to Connolly, El Mizouni and Graham limit Leyton midfield options, though there are no new concerns. Despite their struggles, Orient matche... Read More...

Stevenage

Stevenage

Exeter return to League One action looking to put their extraordinary 10-1 FA Cup defeat to Manchester City behind them. Fortunately, their league form remains solid and we predict that they will defeat Stevenage 1-0 on Matchday 27. The Grecians average 1.60 points per game overall, driven by outstanding home performances: 4 wins from 4, 3.00 PPG, and 100% clean sheets at St... Read More...

Huddersfield

Huddersfield

Burton Albion will look to build on their impressive 5-0 FA Cup win over Boreham Wood when they face Huddersfield on Matchday 27. Their League One form, though, remains a concern and that is the main reason why we predict a 2-1 away win. The Brewers sit in the relegation zone and have managed just 1.10 points per game overall, including 1.00 PPG at home. Defensively, Burton ... Read More...

Blackpool

Blackpool

Barnsley continue to slide down the League One table after a poor run of form, taking just 0.80 points per game across their last five matches. Therefore, we predict that they will pick up only one point (2-2) from Saturday's game against Blackpool. Luca Connell remains suspended after his red card against Wigan, and his absence was felt in the heavy 4-1 FA Cup defeat to Liv... Read More...

VIEW PREDICTION

Doncaster

Doncaster

AFC Wimbledon host Doncaster in a League One clash that could see plenty of attacking action. Therefore, our prediction leans toward a 2-2 draw. The Dons head into Saturday's encounter with a full squad following a 4-2 EFL Trophy win over West Ham U21. Their home form has been solid, with a draw, draw, loss, and win in four games, scoring an average of 1 goal per home match ... Read More...

Bolton

Bolton

Wigan take on Bolton in a League One clash where both sides look to find consistency. As they seem to be evenly matched, we predict a 1-1 draw. The Latics head into the match without Mabaya, Trevitt, and Rogers, though all three were unused in the FA Cup 1-0 win over Preston. Manager changes in midfield may see Sheehan and Gale drop to the bench, with Christie and Dalby step... Read More...

Cardiff

Bradford City host Cardiff City in what promises to be an engaging League One clash, with 3-1 our predicted outcome. The Bantams are in strong home form, winning all four of their home matches this season, scoring an average of 1.5 goals while conceding just 0.25. Overall, Bradford have netted two goals per game this season and kept clean sheets in half of their matches. Inj... Read More...

Bolton

Bolton

Bolton aim to return to winning ways following a goalless draw with Northampton, but beating Peterborough on the road is easier said than done. Therefore, our prediction leans toward a 1-1 draw. The Posh look to respond after a damaging 5–2 defeat to Lincoln, a result that exposed defensive issues already impacted by the absences of Adebisi and Hughes. Still, their overall... Read More...

Reading

Mansfield host Reading in what promises to be an entertaining League Two clash. Reading, though, seems to be at their sharpest and we predict that they will record a 2-1 win over Mansfield. The Yellows have been inconsistent this season, collecting 1.10 points per game overall with a 30% win rate. At home, Mansfield average 0.75 PPG, scoring 1.25 goals per game but conceding...

Leyton Orient will aim to put an end to the negative trend, having picked up just 0.80 points per game overall this season and losing four of their last five matches. Our prediction, though, leans toward a 2-1 win as Cardiff have found their form of late. The O's produce much better showings at home than on the travels, averaging 1.00 PPG, but they concede 1.40 goals per gam... Read More...
