Barnsley

Barnsley

Port Vale head into Sunday's clash on a high after demolishing Blackpool 5-1, and with no fresh injury concerns. Therefore, we predict that they will defeat Barnsley 3-1 on Matchday 25. The Valiants' home performances have been solid all season, averaging 1.67 PPG, winning 50% of matches, and keeping 50% clean sheets at Vale Park. Port Vale remain far stronger at home than a...

Burton

Burton

Plymouth extended their unbeaten run to five matches with a 1-1 draw at Stevenage. With Burton struggling on the road, we predict a 1-0 home win. Owen Oseni picked up an injury in the midweek draw, but his absence should not greatly affect the Plymouth first XI. The Pilgrims’ overall form (WWLDD) is strong, and their away results remain exceptional, but their home record i... Read More...

Exeter

Huddersfield continue to impress despite carrying a long injury list, with their recent run showing a team full of confidence and momentum. Therefore, we predict that the Terriers will record a 2-0 win over the Grecians. Huddersfield's home form is particularly strong, averaging 2.00 PPG, scoring 2.75 goals per match, and producing 2.03 xG at the John Smith’s Stadium. Defe... Read More...

Luton

Luton

Doncaster look to put an end to their poor run of form as they return home, where they have been far more competitive with 1.40 PPG and 1.80 goals scored per match. Given Luton's attacking potential, our prediction leans toward a 2-2 draw. The Donny's recent sequence of LLLLD highlights inconsistency, but they remain dangerous going forward, averaging 1.32 xG at home and see... Read More...

Bradford

Bradford

Blackpool return to Bloomfield Road to face Bradford looking to respond after their heavy 5-1 defeat to Port Vale, though they will have to cope without key defender James Husband, who is suspended. Despite his absence, we predict a 2-1 home win as the Bantams are not regarded as good travellers. Blackpool's home numbers remain strong: 2.00 points per game, 2.20 goals scored... Read More...

Bolton welcome Northampton to the Toughsheet Community Stadium aiming to build on a solid run of home form. Given Northampton's struggles on the road, we predict a 2-1 home win.

Barnsley

Wigan head into the first game of 2026 aiming to build on their solid 2-0 win over Burton, a result that ended a four-game winless streak. As Wigan and Barnsley seem to be evenly matched, we predict a 1-1 draw.

Plymouth

Stevenage return home looking to get back on course after a narrow 2-1 defeat to Cardiff, but their form at Broadhall Way remains a concern. Steve Evans’ side have collected just 0.50 points per game at home, failing to win any of their last four (DLLD), and scoring only 0.75 goals per match on their own patch.

Rotherham host Peterborough at the New York Stadium hoping to bounce back after a heavy 4-0 defeat at Blackpool.
