All eyes wlll be on Kassam Stadium when Oxford United and Cambridge United take on each other in a highly-anticipated MLS game.

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday

There will be fireworks when MK Dons and Sheffield Wednesday face each other at Stadium MK on Matchday 2. MK Dons failed to impress in their opener, with the team losing to Cambridge United at Abbey Stadium, and, to make things even worse for Liam Manning’s charges, important midfielder Josh McEachran limped off with injury after 37 minutes.

Ipswich

Forest Green will be aiming to build on a 2-1 win over Bristol Rovers when they host Ipswich Town to their New Lawn on Saturday.

Fleetwood take on Plymouth at their Highbury Stadium in the League One round 2. The Cod Army aim to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Port Vale, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Plymouth. Both Garner and Harrison are pushing for a start as Scott Brown should opt to make changes to the starting XI that lost the season opener. The Pilgrims, on the other hand, defeate... Read More...

Port Vale

St James Park will host Saturday’s football game between Exeter and Port Vale. The hosts played out a 1-1 draw with Lincoln in the season opener, but it has to be noted that they had no more than seven goal attempts in the LNER stadium clash. Since there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, head coach Matt Taylor is unlikely to make changes to the starting XI. ... Read More...

Bristol Rovers

Burton Albion will look to put an end to their six-game losing run which include pre-season friendlies when they take on Bristol Rovers in the League One round 2. The Brewers suffered a heavy 3-0 loss to Wycombe in their opener, and, no doubt, they are low on spirits ahead of Saturday’s clash. Summer signing Quevin De Castro should keep his place in the starting line-up de... Read More...

Barnsley will look to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Plymouth when they take on Cheltenham Town in their first home game of the season.

The ground at legendary Hillsborough stadium will shake when Sheffield Wednesday and Portsmouth take on each other in the opening match of the season.
