Wigan
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. The Latics have been competitive at home, averaging 1.25 PPG, while defensively they’ve been fairly reliable with 50% clean sheets on their own turf and just 1.00 g... Read More...

Stevenage
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. Stevenage also struggle creatively, posting an xG of 1.10 at h... Read More...

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

Rotherham are not enjoying a season to remember, picking up just 0.9 points per game, scoring 1.4 goals per match while conceding 1.7. Midfielder Josh Benson remains injure... Read More...

Reading and Burton square off against each other at the Madejski Stadium looking to maintain their good run in League One. Given Burton's defensive struggles on the road, we predict a 2-1 home win. The Royals have had a mixed patch of form, earning 1.5 points per game this season with an average of 1.7 goals scored and 1.3 conceded. Midfielder Andy Rinomhota returns from int... Read More...

Port Vale
Blackpool
Port Vale host Blackpool at Vale Park looking to bounce back after inconsistent form. Given Blackpool's excellent display at Rotherham, we predict a 2-0 away win. The Valiants have won just 33% of their home games this season, scoring 1.5 goals per home match but conceding 0.83. Defender Liam Gordon remains sidelined, though he has been a long-term absentee, so the lineup sh... Read More...

Stockport County
Northampton Town will look to bounce back at Sixfields Stadium after a 2-0 defeat to Huddersfield, but with Stockport brimming with confidence following a 4-2 win over Doncaster, we predict a 1-1 draw. The Cobblers have been mixed at home, winning 67% of their home games and scoring 1.83 goals per match at Sixfields, while conceding 1.17 on average. BTTS has occurred in 83% ... Read More...

The Yellows have struggled at home this season, failing to win in their last three home fixtures and averaging just 0.67 goals per game at Field Mill. Their matches have been fairly open, with BTTS occurring in 67... Read More...

Lincoln
Huddersfield
Lincoln welcome Huddersfield to Sincil Bank after a confident 2-0 win at Barnsley. Given the Terriers' shaky defence, we predict that the Imps will emerge triumphant (2-1) in their first game of the new year. Lincoln have been in excellent form, winning 70% of their matches overall and averaging 2.9 goals per game, including 2.4 points per game at home. The Imps have shown d... Read More...

Leyton Orient
AFC Wimbledon
Leyton Orient host AFC Wimbledon in a League Two clash after a disappointing 3-0 loss at Luton. As the two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment, we predict a 1-1 draw. The O’s have a few injuries to manage, with Connolly, El Mizouni, and Graham sidelined, but their home form has been relatively solid, earning 1.60 points per game at home and averaging 2.2 goals sc...

Exeter
Luton
Exeter play host to Luton in a League One encounter after a solid 1-0 win at AFC Wimbledon, but given Luton's attacking output, a 2-2 draw is on the cards at St James Park. The Grecians have no fresh injury concerns and have been particularly strong at home, winning 100% of their home games this season and averaging 2.67 goals per game while keeping clean sheets. Their away ... Read More...

Doncaster
Bolton
Doncaster look to bounce back from a heavy 4-2 defeat at Stockport County, but given their dreadful losing run in December, our prediction firmly points toward a 2-1 Bolton win. Manager Grant McCann has a full squad available, which could see some tactical changes to improve their performance. Despite five-game losing streak, the Donny have shown resilience at home, winning ... Read More...

Stockport County
Doncaster
Stockport County head into the last game of the year looking to bounce back after a Boxing Day defeat to Lincoln. Given their attacking potential, we predict that they will do so with a 2-0 win over Doncaster. Stockport's home form has been poor this season (0% win rate at home), but they have shown resilience on the road. Offensively, Stockport averages 2.33 goals per home ... Read More...
