Burton Albion vs. Northampton (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Two teams battling against relegation from League One are set to come together on Saturday afternoon when basement dwelling Burton Albion host Northampton Town at the Pirelli Stadium.

The hosts are at the bottom of the table heading into this game, with just 14 points from 23 matches, while the visitors are 19th in the standings with 23 points from 24 games.

We say: Burton Albion 2-1 Northampton Town


Although both teams have struggled this season, Burton have come close to victory in their last two matches before being drawn back, and we believe they will secure their first win under Bowyer in this encounter.

Cambridge vs. Bristol Rovers (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Two sides that are battling against relegation from League One in 2024-25 are set to clash at the Abbey Stadium on Saturday afternoon when Cambridge United host Bristol Rovers.

The hosts are 23rd in the table with 17 points from their opening 23 fixtures, while the visitors are 20th in the standings with 22 points from their first 23 games.

We say: Cambridge United 1-1 Bristol Rovers


Both sides are struggling at the bottom of the table at the midway point of the season, and with both desperate to avoid defeat in this crucial relegation six-pointer, we believe this one will end all square.

Barnsley vs. Crawley (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Barnsley play host to Crawley Town on Saturday afternoon looking to record their fourth successive victory in League One.

At a time when the Tykes sit in sixth position in the table, Crawley are down in 21st spot, albeit with at least one game in hand.

We say: Barnsley 3-1 Crawley Town


With Crawley having had an extended rest period ahead of this game, it remains to be seen whether it could work in their favour. Nevertheless, we are backing Barnsley to come through in relatively comfortable fashion, even if they concede to the struggling away side.

Charlton vs. Reading (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two teams vying for a place in the League One playoff positions are set to come together on Saturday when Charlton Athletic host Reading at The Valley.

The hosts are 11th in the standings with 33 points from their first 22 matches, while the visitors are fifth in the table with 40 points from their opening 23 fixtures.

We say: Charlton Athletic 2-1 Reading


Both teams are on positive runs, having won their last three matches, but with the visitors struggling away from home this season, we believe the hosts will come out on top here.

Exeter vs. Bolton (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Exeter City and Bolton Wanderers square off on Saturday afternoon with both teams looking to kick-start a potential playoff push.

At a time when Bolton sit in 10th position in the League One table, Exeter are three points adrift of the visitors in 13th place.

We say: Exeter City 1-2 Bolton Wanderers


This game feels finely-poised with both clubs aware that a draw would benefit neither of them. With that in mind, we are backing Bolton to come out on top, with their extra quality in attack proving pivotal in the closing stages.

Huddersfield vs. Rotherham (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Huddersfield Town will welcome Rotherham United to the John Smith's Stadium for a Yorkshire Derby on Saturday.

After seeing their New Year's Day fixture postponed, the hosts sit seven points outside of the League One table's top two, while their visitors bounced back to winning ways to narrow their gap to the top half.

We say: Huddersfield Town 2-1 Rotherham United


Rotherham United do have more quality than their current league position suggests, but Huddersfield Town are also strong all over the pitch, and with momentum on their side and more rest thanks to the New Year's Day postponement, we back the Terriers to come out on top on home turf.

Leyton Orient vs. Shrewsbury (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Leyton Orient will be looking to strengthen their playoff push when they square off against Shrewsbury Town on Saturday afternoon.

At a time when the home side sit in eighth position in the League One table, 22nd-placed Shrewsbury have kick started their survival bid with a four-game unbeaten run.

We say: Leyton Orient 2-1 Shrewsbury Town


With both teams putting together their strongest run of form all season, this could prove to be one of the games of the weekend. Although Shrewsbury will back themselves to secure at least a point, though, we cannot ignore Orient's streak of victories, leading us to predict a hard-fought three points for the home side.

Lincoln vs. Stevenage (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Lincoln City and Stevenage meet in League One on Saturday afternoon with both clubs requiring maximum points to kick-start a playoff push.

These two teams sit in 12th and 14th position in the table respectively having failed to put together a consistent run of form of late.

We say: Lincoln City 1-1 Stevenage


With Lincoln having lost their last three fixtures, Stevenage will fancy themselves to earn something from this game. Given the visitors have also struggled for wins of late, a low-scoring draw appears to be the most likely outcome.

Stockport vs. Mansfield (Saturday, 3.00pm)

In a match that could affect the race for promotion, Stockport County will welcome Mansfield Town to Edgeley Park on Saturday in their 25th League One game of the season.

Stockport drew 1-1 with second-placed Birmingham City on Wednesday, and the result left them one place and one point from the promotion playoff spots in seventh with 38 points, while the visitors are ninth with 34 points and beat Bolton Wanderers 2-1 on January 1.

We say: Stockport County 1-1 Mansfield Town


Stockport will be confident of at least avoiding defeat considering their record at home in recent weeks has been strong.

However, while Mansfield's away form has not been particularly good, their overall form suggests that they will make Saturday's clash a competitive affair.

Wigan vs. Birmingham (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Birmingham City make the trip to the Brick Community Stadium to face Wigan Athletic on Saturday afternoon looking to reclaim top spot in the League One table.

At a time when Blues sit in second place on goal difference, Wigan are down in 16th spot having played at least one fewer game than the majority of the teams around them.

We say: Wigan Athletic 1-2 Birmingham City


With Wigan having a longer break from action, they should come into this match suitably refreshed. Nevertheless, we are backing Blues to battle their way to a potentially-crucial three points to kick-start their title charge.

Wrexham vs. Peterborough (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two teams at opposing ends of the League One table are set to come face to face on Saturday afternoon when promotion-hopefuls Wrexham take on relegation-threatened Peterborough United.

The hosts are third in the league table with 48 points from 24 matches, while the visitors are 18th in the standings with 25 points from their 23 fixtures.

We say: Wrexham 2-0 Peterborough United


The hosts will be eager to bounce back from defeat in their last outing, and with them boasting the best record of any side in the division when playing at home, we believe Wrexham will secure the win here.

Wycombe vs. Blackpool (Saturday, 3.00pm)

League One table-toppers Wycombe Wanderers aim to secure back-to-back victories at Adams Park when Blackpool visit in Saturday's gameweek 25 clash.

Matt Bloomfield's men returned to the top of the standings with a New Year's Day success over Exeter City, while the struggling Seasiders' winless run extended to four games after January 1's draw with Shrewsbury Town.

We say: Wycombe Wanderers 2-0 Blackpool


Wycombe are undefeated in the league at Adams Park since August 2024's loss to Birmingham, and that run should continue on Saturday.

Having put an average December behind them, the hosts should dispatch Bruce's Blackpool to secure consecutive wins at the turn of the year.
