Leyton Orient

Leyton Orient

Leyton are eager to put an end to their three-game losing run, but given their shaky defence, we predict a 1-0 win for Stevenage. The home side have been inconsistent, earning just 0.60 PPG at home, scoring 0.8 goals per match and conceding 1.2, but have managed 60% clean sheets away this season. The Boro boss Alex Revell has no fresh injury concerns, keeping the same side t... Read More...

Mansfield

Mansfield

Rotherham are desperate to their six-game losing run, but with the Millers being low on confidence, we predict that they will play out a 1-1 draw with Mansfield Town on Matchday 25. he Millers have struggled recently, picking up just 0.25 PPG at home and failing to win in their last five outings. Offensively, they average 0.50 goals per home game and have conceded 2.25, maki... Read More...

Stockport County

Stockport County

Reading are brimming with confidence after a confident 2-0 win over Burton and we predict that they will give fans yet another reason to celebrate by beating Stockport 2-1 on Sunday. Their recent form is strong (LWWDW), and at home they average 1.67 PPG, scoring 1.67 goals per match while conceding just 1.33. With only 10% failed to score and 67% BTTS at home, the Royals typ...

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...

VIEW PREDICTION

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

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...

Cardiff City aim to continue their strong home form as they take on Wigan Athletic on Sunday afternoon. with the Bluebirds collecting an impressive 2.14 points per game at home and scoring 2.14 goals per match in South Wales, we predict a 3-1 home win.

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.
