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...

VIEW PREDICTION

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

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

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...

VIEW PREDICTION

Stevenage

Stevenage

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. The Haters have been having their ups and downs of late, picking up just one win in their last five games (ldddw), but they have shown stronger performances on the road, scoring an a... Read More...

Rotherham

Rotherham

Plymouth and Rotherham United face each other at Home Park in what could be a close League One encounter, with our prediction pointing toward a 1-1 draw. The Pilgrims will be without in-form forward Lorent Tolaj due to suspension, which should affect their attacking performance. It has to be noted that Plymouth have scored just 0.40 goals per game in their last five outings,... Read More...

Northampton

Peterborough are brimming with confidence following a 2-1 win at Reading and we predict that they will give fans yet another reason to celebrate by beating Northampton 1-0 at Weston Homes Stadium. Peterborough have been solid defensively, conceding just 0.90 goals per match on average this season, and keeping clean sheets in 50% of recent home games. As there are no fresh i... Read More...

Port Vale

Luton Town take Port Vale in a League One clash where the home side enters in splendid form. Therefore, our prediction points toward a 2-0 home win. The Hatters are unbeaten in their last five matches, collecting three wins and two draws, and averaging 3.40 goals per game across that span. At Kenilworth Road, their home scoring rate rises to 3.33 goals per game, while they h... Read More...

Cardiff welcome Doncaster in what promises to be an entertaining League One clash. As the Bluebirds have been in solid form, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 home win.

Wycombe

Burton face Wycombe in the League One round 20 in what is expected to be a close encounter (1-1). The Brewers have struggled without key midfielder Charlie Webster, suffering back-to-back defeats to Leyton Orient (0-4) and Wigan (0-1), highlighting their reliance on him to control midfield. Overall, Burton have averaged 1.60 points per game recently, scoring 1.60 goals per m... Read More...
