Barnsley vs. Bristol Rovers (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Returning to action for the first time since New Year's Day, Barnsley will set out to strengthen their position in the top six of the League One table on Saturday, when they welcome Bristol Rovers to Oakwell.
The hosts currently occupy the final playoff place but only lead seventh-placed Stevenage on goal difference, while their visitors will hope to truly put themselves into the top-six picture and reduce the nine-point gap between the two sides.
We say: Barnsley 2-1 Bristol Rovers
Bristol Rovers will certainly pose a tough test at Oakwell and have the quality to hurt Barnsley, but the Reds do have more quality throughout their squad, and with plenty of momentum of their own, we fancy Collins's men to come out on top in South Yorkshire.

Blackpool vs. Exeter (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Blackpool will look to maintain their unbeaten start to 2024 when they welcome Exeter City to Bloomfield Road for Saturday's League One contest.
While the hosts are currently sitting in eighth place, Exeter are three points clear of the drop zone in 20th position.
We say: Blackpool 3-1 Exeter City
Although Exeter come into the game off the back of a victory, they have tended to struggle on the road this season, and we think that their poor away form will continue against a Blackpool side that have won each of their previous six competitive home matches.

Bolton vs. Cheltenham (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Bolton Wanderers will play host to Cheltenham Town on Saturday as both sides aim to continue positive runs at either end of the League One table.
Thanks to four straight victories, the hosts sit second in England's third tier with a two-point lead over third place, while their visitors have climbed within three points of safety under Darrell Clarke.
We say: Bolton Wanderers 2-1 Cheltenham Town
Saturday's test will certainly not be an easy one for Bolton, with Cheltenham Town looking a completely new side and marching towards safety under Clarke, but the hosts do still boast far more quality throughout their squad and should have what it takes to get over the line on home turf and make it five straight three-point hauls in League One.

Cambridge vs. Fleetwood (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Cambridge United play host to Fleetwood Town on Saturday afternoon with the chance to make significant headway in moving away from the League One relegation zone.
While the home side sit four points clear of safety, Fleetwood - who are under another new head coach - are eight points from moving outside of the bottom four.
We say: Cambridge United 2-1 Fleetwood Town
With just a nine-point gap between the sides, this is a crucial game for both sides, and nerves may be on show. However, we cannot ignore that Cambridge's home advantage could prove key, leading us to predict a hard-earned triumph.

Carlisle vs. Oxford Utd (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Two teams at opposing ends of the League One table will meet this Saturday as Carlisle United's quest to survive relegation meets its latest test in Oxford United.
Three points are equally as important for the visitors in this match as they look to maintain their position in the playoffs, while also placing pressure on those above them.
We say: Carlisle United 1-2 Oxford United
Carlisle have plenty of new faces in the squad at the moment which should provide the team with additional quality to cause problems this weekend.
However, bedding several new players in at once is no easy feat, which could be the advantage that Oxford need to take three points.

Charlton vs. Peterborough (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Charlton Athletic will attempt to end a nine-game winless run in all competitons when they play host to Peterborough United in Saturday's League One contest.
In contrast to their opponents, promotion-chasing Peterborough will be looking to extend their unbeaten league run to 10 matches.
We say: Charlton Athletic 1-2 Peterborough United
Peterborough have won each of their last three away league games, and we think they will continue that run against a Charlton team that will be low on confidence following a poor spell of form.

Northampton vs. Wigan (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Northampton Town will host Wigan Athletic on Saturday in their latest League One fixture, with each team currently aspiring to earn three points for very different reasons.
The Latics are currently trying to push away from the relegation zone, while the hosts are focusing on placing pressure on the teams in the playoff positions.
We say: Northampton Town 2-0 Wigan Athletic
Wigan have been poor away from home for a number of months now, and while they have shown signs of improvement in recent games following a difficult festive period, this fixture could be a tough one to achieve another.
Considering the strong performances that Northampton have put on this season, the Cobblers will not be expecting to slip up here as they attempt to push towards the playoff positions.

Portsmouth vs. Leyton Orient (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Portsmouth will look to bounce back from a defeat to when they welcome Leyton Orient to Fratton Park on Saturday.
The visitors, meanwhile, will be hoping to continue their promising spell of form after taking seven points from their last three matches.
We say: Portsmouth 1-1 Leyton Orient
Portsmouth have won eight of their 13 home league games this season (D4, L1), but we think they will have to settle for a draw when they face a Leyton Orient side that has lost just two of their previous 11 away trips in the third tier.

Reading vs. Port Vale (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Relegation-threatened Reading will welcome Port Vale to the Select Car Leasing Stadium for Saturday's League One contest.
The hosts are sitting in 21st place and three points adrift from safety, while Port Vale head into the weekend in 14th position.
We say: Reading 2-2 Port Vale
With Reading and Port Vale both struggling to keep the ball out of the net, we think Saturday's contest could prove to be an entertaining one.
While we expect the game to produce goals, we also believe the encounter will finish all square, especially as Reading have drawn four of their last six league games.

Shrewsbury vs. Stevenage (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Stevenage will have the chance to push themselves into a League One playoff position this weekend when they make the trip to face Shrewsbury Town.
A victory could place the visitors into the top six should other results go in their favour, but the Shrews have the chance to provide an upset and secure consecutive wins in the league at the same time.
We say: Shrewsbury Town 1-2 Stevenage
Neither team is enjoying a consistent run of results at the moment, which means that this fixture could be quite unpredictable in terms of the result.
However, Stevenage have proven to be the stronger of the two teams during the campaign overall, and that could give them the edge.

Wycombe vs. Lincoln (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Two of League One's mid-table teams will meet this Saturday as Lincoln City make the trip to Adams Park to play Wycombe Wanderers.
The hosts are undefeated in their previous four matches across all competitions, while the visitors come into the game with opposing form having lost their last four.
We say: Wycombe Wanderers 2-0 Lincoln City
These two teams are in completely contrasting form heading into this weekend, and that is something that will likely play an impact in the fixture itself.
Wycombe Wanderers are flying at the moment, and the momentum that they are enjoying should see them through this match to earn another three points.
