Huddersfield

Huddersfield

Rotherham United face Huddersfield Town in a Championship clash where injuries could play a key role. Given the number of absentees in the home team, our prediction firmly points toward a 2-1 away win. The Millers are struggling, missing Etete, Hatton, Kayode, Benson, James, and Nombe, which contributed to back-to-back defeats against Blackpool and Plymouth. Rotherham have w... Read More...

Peterborough

Peterborough

Port Vale host Peterborough in what shapes up to be an intriguing League One clash, but given the Posh's fine form, we predict a 2-1 away win. The Pilgrims played out a 2-2 with Luton Town at the weekend, despite missing Clark and Gordon, who were not key starters. Port Vale have been inconsistent this season, winning just 30% of their matches, but scoring 1.6 goals per game... Read More...

Stockport County

Mansfield host Stockport County in what could be an intriguing League Two clash, with out prediction pointing toward a 2-2 draw. The Yellows are coming off a goalless draw with AFC Wimbledon, with Luke Bolton sidelined due to a long-term knee injury, though this is not expected to disrupt the side. Mansfield have struggled this season, winning just 20% of their matches overa... Read More...

Cardiff

Cardiff

Lincoln host Cardiff City in an intriguing League One clash. With Leyton winning three of their last five home games, we predict a 3-1 home win. The Imps have no fresh injury concerns and head into Saturday's clash following a 2-2 draw with Blackpool. Lincoln have been solid at home this season, winning 75% of their matches at Sincil Bank and averaging 1.5 goals per game ove... Read More...

Bradford

Bradford

Leyton Orient host Bradford City in a League One clash that points toward a 2-1 home win. Leyton will miss forward Dominic Ballard, who scored in their recent 3-2 loss at Barnsley, but the hosts still have a solid home record. The O's average 1.6 points per game at home and score around 2 goals per home match while conceding less than 1 goal on average. Their expected goals ... Read More...

Barnsley

Barnsley

Exeter take on Barnsley in a League One clash where home form could be decisive. Therefore, we predict that the Grecians will defeat the Tykes 2-1 on Matchday 21. Exeter average 1.6 points per game overall but are far stronger at St James Park, picking up 2.5 points per home match. They score 2.5 goals per game at home while conceding just 1.0, and have failed to score in no... Read More...

Plymouth

Plymouth

Doncaster welcome Plymouth in a matchup shaped by attacking intent versus defensive caution. Therefore, our prediction firmly points toward a 3-1 home win. The Donny have taken 1.6 points per game overall and remain particularly dangerous going forward, averaging 1.9 goals per match. At home, that number rises to 2.2 goals, with 80% of their games seeing both teams score. Th... Read More...

Blackpool

Blackpool

Wigan and Blackpool meet in what is expected to be a low-scoring League One encounter, with 1-0 our predicted outcome. Wigan head into Saturday's game on the back of a solid 1–1 draw with Huddersfield and have no fresh injury concerns, which should allow Ryan Lowe to keep continuity in his selection. At home, the Latics have been hard to break down, conceding just 0.60 goa... Read More...

Burton

Burton

As Stevenage and Burton seem to be evenly matched ahead of Saturday's clash, we predict that they will play out a 1-1 draw at Lamex Stadium. Stevenage return home after a confidence-boosting 3–1 win over Stockport, and boss Alex Revell is expected to stick with the same starting XI given the lack of fresh injury concerns. Despite that positive result, The Boro’s overall ... Read More...

AFC Wimbledon

Northampton host AFC Wimbledon in a highly-anticipated League One clash on Friday evening. With the two teams being evenly matched at the moment, we predict a 1-1 draw. The Cobblers' form has been mixed, earning 1.30 points per game overall. They are stronger at home, averaging 1.67 points per match, scoring 1.33 goals while conceding 1.17. Their attack has been fairly consi... Read More...

Luton

Reading will be eager to get back on course as they take on Luton in this League One round 21. With the Hatters being on a three-game winless run on the road, we are tempted to bet on 1-1 draw. The Royals have struggled without injured defender Matty Jacob, losing their last two matches, but their home form has been slightly better, conceding just 1.17 goals per game and kee...

Stockport County host Stevenage in a League Two clash where defensive concerns could play a key role. Given Stevenage's recent struggles up front, we predict a hard-fought 1-0 win for the hosts.
