Mansfield

Mansfield

Bolton look to extend their excellent home run after a hard-fought 2-1 Boxing Day victory over Rotherham and given Mansfield's defensive struggles, our prediction points toward a 2-1 home win. The Trotters have been exceptionally strong at the Toughsheet Stadium, scoring 2.20 goals per home match and keeping 60% clean sheets. Their overall expected goals numbers (1.90 overal...

Rotherham

Rotherham

As Blackpool are brimming with confidence after a narrow 1-0 Boxing Day win over Doncaster, we predict that they will defeat Rotherham United 2-1 on Monday evening. Ian Evatt’s side look especially convincing at Bloomfield Road, where they average 1.75 goals scored and hold a solid 1.65 expected goals. Defensively, they remain slightly vulnerable (1.50 conceded per home ga... Read More...

VIEW PREDICTION

Lincoln

Lincoln

Barnsley are eager to bounce back from their 3-2 Boxing Day defeat to Mansfield, a match in which defensive lapses again proved costly. With Lincoln showing signs of improvement up front, we predict a 2-2 draw. Conor Hourihane’s side have now lost three of their last four games, conceding 2.00 goals per match overall and 1.75 at home, which highlights their main weakness. ... Read More...

Exeter

Exeter

AFC Wimbledon take on Exeter just days after the sides played out a goalless Boxing Day draw, a result that at least left the hosts with no new injury concerns. As the two teams seem to be evenly matched, a 1-1 draw is on the cards at The Cherry Red Records Stadium. With a full squad available, the Dons will hope to improve on a poor home record, having failed to win any of ... Read More...

VIEW PREDICTION

Lincoln

Lincoln

Stockport return to Edgeley Park after a confidence-boosting 2–1 win at Mansfield, but their home form remains a real concern. Therefore, we predict a 2-2 draw. With 0.60 points per game at home and no wins in five, they have struggled to turn possession and territory into results. Stockport’s attacking output at home is modest—just 0.60 goals scored per match—despit... Read More...

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...

VIEW PREDICTION

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...

Port Vale

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. Cardiff’s attacking numbers are among the best in the league, with 0% failure-to-score and 83% BTTS at ... Read More...

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...

Bradford aim to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat to Leyton as they return home, where their performances have been far more convincing.
