Oxford United

Oxford United

Ipswich Town will look to overtake Plymouth in top position in the standings when they host Oxford United to their Portman Road on Matchday 23. The Tractor Boys suffered a 1-0 loss at Wycombe at the weekend, but it has to be noted that they failed to turn their dominance into goals.

VIEW PREDICTION

Portsmouth

Portsmouth

Exeter play host to Portsmouth at their St. James Park on day 23 of the new League One campaign. Both teams sit in the middle of the table ahead of the Boxing Day, meaning that a close encounter is on the horizon. The hosts failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Bolton, meaning that boss Gary Caldwell should opt to make changes to the starting XI. All Dieng, Sparkes, and Nombe a... Read More...

Peterborough

Charlton Athletic and Peterborough United face each other at the Valley in the League One round 23. The Red Robins suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three league fixtures, but the Boxing Day clash could be the turning point for Dean Holden’s troops.

Shrewsbury

Abbey Stadium will host the Boxing Day clash between Cambridge United and Shrewsbury Town. The U’s do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team failing to win the last four league fixtures, but their display in a goalless draw with Plymouth was promising.

Lincoln

Burton will look to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Barnsley when they take on Lincoln on Matchday 23. The Brewers are stuck in the relegation zone with only 16 points on their account, and they must be low on spirits following the weekend’s defeat. The hosts are desperate to grab something from the Boxing Day clash, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Linco... Read More...

Accrington and Barnsley take on each other at the Wham Stadium on Boxing Day. Accrington are eager to escape the danger zone, but they face a difficult task against the promotion-chasing Tykes. The Accy Stanley have been struggling at home ground of late, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last four home fixtures, and it is no wonder the bookies see th...

Ipswich

Saturday’s football game at Adams Park pits together Wycombe and Ipswich, the two top-table sides. The Chairboys are two points behind the playoffs berth, but beating the in-form league leaders is easier said than done. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team, but experienced Wales forward Sam Vokes should be recalled to the starting XI. The Tractor Boys, on th... Read More...

All eyes will be on Hillsborough when Sheffield Wednesday and Oxford United take on each other in the League One derby.
