Exeter

Exeter

Port Vale return to Vale Park after a disappointing 3–0 defeat at Mansfield, but with no fresh injury concerns other than long-term absentee Connor Hall. Given Exeter's ups and downs on the road, we predict a 2-1 home win.

Wigan

Wigan

Doncaster look to build on their recent improvement as they host Wigan in this League One clash, but given their struggles at home, we predict a 2-1 away win. Defender Sean Grehan remains sidelined for the hosts, though he is not a first-team regular, meaning the overall structure of Grant McCann’s side remains intact. The Donny have won two of their last three matches, bu... Read More...

Leyton Orient

Leyton Orient

Bolton aim to return to winning ways when they welcome Leyton Orient after a frustrating goalless draw with Stevenage. As Leyton are not considering good travellers, we predict a 1-0 home win. There are no fresh injury concerns for the hosts, who will look to make their home advantage count. The Troters have collected 1.40 points per game at home, winning 40% of their matche...

Northampton

Blackpool and Northampton meet in a crucial clash at the bottom of League One, with just one point separating the sides. As Northampton are not regarded as good travellers, we predict a 1-0 home win. The Seasiders have no fresh injury concerns after their 2-1 defeat at Barnsley, and despite their poor run of four losses in five, their home form remains respectable. Blackpool... Read More...

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.

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.

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...

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.
