Reading

Reading

LNER stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Lincoln and Reading, the two teams that have big ambitions for the 2025/2026 League One campaign. Lincoln did well to beat WBA 4-2 in their last warm-up game, meaning that they are brimming with confidence ahead of Reading’s visit. A man to watch in the home team will be Jovon Makama, who scored an early brace again... Read More...

Leyton Orient

All eyes will be on John Smith’s Stadium when Huddersfield Town and Leyton Orient lock horns on day 1 of the new League One campaign.

Exeter

Saturday’s football game at Eco-Power Stadium pits together Doncaster Rovers and Exeter City. After enjoying a very successful preseason, Doncaster aim to kickstart their League One campaign in style, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for Grant McCann’s troops.

Mansfield

Burton welcome Mansfield to their Pirelli Stadium in the opening match of their League One campaign. The Brewers finished the last season in 20th place in the standings, only one point clear of the relegation zone and, no doubt, they are determined to secure yet another League One survival.

Wycombe

Following three consecutive wins in preseason, Bradford City will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Wycombe in the season opener. The Bantams are brimming with confidence ahead of Saturday’s clash, but they will have to prove their worth on the field.

Bloomfield Road will host Saturday’s League One game between Blackpool and Stevenage. The Seasiders remained unbeaten in preseason, with the team beating both AFC Fylde and WBA, while sharing the spoils with Salford City and Doncaster.

Peterborough

Peterborough

Cardiff City will be looking to kick off their Championship campaign in style when they welcome Peterborough to the Welsh capital on Saturday. The Bluebirds have set their sights on securing promotion this term, but it’s worth noting that the board has kept a rather quiet profile in the summer transfer market. Still, Erol Bulut can count on a settled squad that proved soli... Read More...

Luton Town will be aiming to kickstart the new League One campaign in style when they welcome AFC Wimbledon to their Kenilworth Road on Friday evening.

Leyton Orient

Championship promotion will be at stake when Charlton Athletic and Leyton Orient lock horns at Wembley Stadium on Sunday. The Red Robins survived Wycombe in the semis, with the team keeping a clean sheet in both legs. Therefore, we predict that the nominal hosts will rely on their rock-solid defence in the decider.

There will be fireworks when Charlton Athletic and Wycombe lock horns at the Valley in the League One playoffs semis, second leg. The two teams played out a goalless draw in the first leg and yet another close encounter is on the cards.
