Stockport County

Stockport County

Cardiff City host Stockport County after a 2-1 victory over Bradford City, despite missing key players Kellyman, Colwill, and King, who were not missed in their recent win. As both sides are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach, we predict a 2-2 win.

Burton

Burton

Lincoln and Burton face each other at LNER stadium in the opening match of League One round 28. As Lincoln have been scoring goals for fun at home of late, we predict a 2-1 home win. Michael Skubala’s men have collected 2.17 points per home game and boast a 67% home win rate, scoring exactly 2.00 goals per match at Sincil Bank. Defensively they remain vulnerable, conceding...

Bolton

Bolton

Stevenage face Bolton in a postponed League One clash, looking to bounce back after a heavy 3-0 defeat at Exeter. Given Stevenage's poor form in the English third tier, we predict a 2-1 away win. Boro boss Alex Revell has a full squad at his disposal but is expected to shuffle the pack. Stevenage’s overall form has been poor (DLDLL), with just 0.70 points per game, failing... Read More...

Rotherham

Rotherham

Stockport County look well-placed to continue their promotion push as they welcome struggling Rotherham. As the Millers are running down a blind alley, we predict a 3-0 home win. County have won three of their last four and edged Huddersfield 1–0 despite Callum Connolly and Arttu Hoskonen being doubtful. At home, Stockport average 1.67 points per game with a 50% win rate, ...

Plymouth

Plymouth

Peterborough continue to show top-six potential, winning three of their last five league games and brushing aside Bolton 3–1 in their previous outing. Despite Plymouth's signs of improvement on the road, we predict a 2-1 home win. At home, the Posh average 2.00 points per game with a strong 60% win rate, scoring 1.40 goals and conceding just 0.80.

Wycombe

Wycombe

Northampton continue to edge their way upward, unbeaten in four league matches and coming off a solid goalless draw with promotion-chasing Bolton. Given Wycombe's offensive struggles on the road, we predict a 1-0 home win. Northampton's form has been impressive, collecting 2.20 points per game with a strong 60% win rate at Sixfields. The Cobblers have tightened up defensivel... Read More...

Port Vale

Mansfield return to League One action looking to build on a strong run of four consecutive league wins, despite a wave of departures during the January window. Given Port Vale's shaky defence, especially on the road, our prediction still leans toward a 2-1 home win. Nigel Clough’s side have been far more effective on the road, but their home form remains concerning, earnin... Read More...

Lincoln

Luton Town aim to strengthen their promotion push as they host second-placed Lincoln in one of the standout fixtures of Round 27. Given Lincoln's difficulties at the back on the road, we predict a 2-1 home win.

Reading

Leyton Orient return to League One action hoping to stabilise after a poor run, taking just 0.80 points per game overall and only 1.00 PPG at home. However, we predict a 2-1 away win as Reading have found their best form of late. Injuries to Connolly, El Mizouni and Graham limit Leyton midfield options, though there are no new concerns. Despite their struggles, Orient matche... Read More...

Exeter return to League One action looking to put their extraordinary 10-1 FA Cup defeat to Manchester City behind them. Fortunately, their league form remains solid and we predict that they will defeat Stevenage 1-0 on Matchday 27.

Huddersfield

Burton Albion will look to build on their impressive 5-0 FA Cup win over Boreham Wood when they face Huddersfield on Matchday 27. Their League One form, though, remains a concern and that is the main reason why we predict a 2-1 away win. The Brewers sit in the relegation zone and have managed just 1.10 points per game overall, including 1.00 PPG at home. Defensively, Burton ... Read More...
