Wigan

Burton enter their final game of the year full of confidence after producing one of their best performances of the season, a dominant 5-1 Boxing Day win over Northampton. With Wigan struggling to find their best form of late, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 home win. Burton's attacking numbers have improved significantly, scoring 1.60 goals per match overall, while their e... Read More...

Port Vale

Port Vale

Bradford aim to finish 2025 in style boosted by a hard-fought 2-1 Boxing Day win over Wigan. Given Port Vale's struggles on the travels, we predict that the Bantams will do so with a 1-0 win. At Valley Parade Bradford have been highly reliable, winning 75% of their matches and conceding just 0.75 goals per game. Their attacking numbers are modest overall (0.90 scored per mat...

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...

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...

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

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...

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 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...

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...
