Stevenage

Stevenage

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. Right winger Rob Apter is no longer part of the team, while the club chiefs have signed permanent deals with the likes of Jordan Brown, Geo... Read More...

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...

AFC Wimbledon

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. The Hatters failed to secure the Championship survival last time out, but they are seen as one of the main candidates to secure promotion back to the English second tier. Given Luton’s fine performances in preseason, home w... Read More...

Leyton Orient

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. Talented forward Miles Leaburn remains in the recovery room,... Read More...

Wycombe

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. The good news for the hosts is that Chuks Aneke is back to contention after serving his three-game ban.

A place in the League One playoffs final will be on the line when Stockport County and Leyton Orient go head to head at Edgeley Park on Wednesday evening. The two sides played out a 2-2 draw in the first leg, but Stockport are seen as favourites to win the decider. With no fresh injury worries to report, Dave Challinor is unlikely to make changes to the team that faced the O... Read More...

Charlton

A place in the League One playoffs final will be at stake when Wycombe and Charlton Athletic face each other in a highly-anticipated double-header. Wycombe are on a three-game losing run in the League One, with the team continuously struggling at the back, but they should not be written off just yet. Manager Mike Dodds has no fresh injury worries, but all Shamal George, Dani... Read More...

There will be fireworks when Leyton Orient and Stockport County lock horns in the League One playoffs semis, first leg. The O’s are on a six-game winning run in the League One and they must be high on confidence following a thrilling 4-1 win over Huddersfield Town.

Stockport County

Wycombe and Stockport face each other at Adams Park in what is expected to be a close encounter. The Chairboys failed to secure automatic promotion, but they surely want to avoid Charlton in the League One playoffs. As a result, we are positive that Wycombe will adopt an attack-oriented strategy in Saturday’s encounter. Both George and Harvie are sidelined with injuries, w... Read More...

Crawley

Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Barnsley, Shrewsbury Town will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Crawley Town on Saturday. The Shrews did well to put an end to their dreadful winless run, but that did not help them avoid the drop. Midfielder Leo Castledine remains in the recovery room, but the 19-year-old should be the only absentee in the home team. ... Read More...

After failing to win the previous four league matches, Rotherham United will look to return to winning ways when they face Peterborough on the last day of the season. The Millers aim to put an end to their four-game winless run and they are surely capable of matching the Posh in front of home fans. All Raggett, MacDonald, and Jules should miss out with injuries for the home ... Read More...

Reading welcome Barnsley to the Select Car Leasing Stadium on the final day of the League One season, with everything still to play for. The Royals sit just outside the playoff spots and know that only a win — and results elsewhere going their way — will give them a shot at promotion. After a strong run-in under Ruben Selles, Reading have momentum on their side, though a... Read More...
