Saturday's League One predictions including Blackpool vs. Stevenage

Blackpool vs. Stevenage (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Blackpool play host to Stevenage on Saturday afternoon looking to record the win that will move them to within two points of their opponents in the League One standings.

From the perspective of the visitors, they have the opportunity to advance into third position as they bid to earn a surprise playoff spot at the end of the season.

We say: Blackpool 1-1 Stevenage

Despite this being the early phase of the season, Blackpool will feel that they need to come out on top in games such as this one. However, despite their recent blips, we are backing the visitors to earn a share of the spoils, one that would keep their mid-table opponents at arms length.

Cambridge vs. Shrewsbury (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Cambridge United will be looking to respond to back-to-back defeats when they welcome early-season strugglers Shrewsbury Town to the Abbey Stadium on Saturday afternoon in League One.

The U's were unable to get any points during their trip to Burton Albion in front of the TV cameras on Monday, whereas Shrewsbury broke an unwanted streak to earn their first success in seven matches last weekend.

We say: Cambridge United 1-0 Shrewsbury Town

Cambridge have struggled in recent weeks but showed signs of recovery in the second half at Burton last time out, and the U's will be hoping to record a much-needed win in front of their faithful at the Abbey.

Shrewsbury will be praying that their last-gasp victory over Northampton is a turning point in their season, however with a host of key players either away on international duty or injured, we are expecting the Shrews to struggle on Saturday afternoon,

Carlisle vs. Leyton Orient (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Both Carlisle United and Leyton Orient will be bidding to make it successive victories in League One when they lock horns at Brunton Park on Saturday afternoon.

The visitors will enter the contest off the back of a 2-1 victory over Reading, while Carlisle also triumphed in the league last weekend, overcoming Bolton Wanderers away from home.

We say: Carlisle United 1-2 Leyton Orient

Carlisle have only won one of their last four matches against Orient, and as mentioned, were beaten in both games in League Two last season. We are expecting Saturday's fixture to be close in terms of the general play and scoreline but are backing Orient to navigate their way to all three points.

Lincoln vs. Burton Albion (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Lincoln City will aim to climb through the middle of the League One table and towards the playoff places on Saturday, when they welcome Burton Albion to Sincil Bank.

While the Imps currently find themselves 14th in England's third tier after an away defeat last weekend, they do boast games in hand on every team around them in a crowded mid-table, while their visitors are just two points worse off in 18th spot.

We say: Lincoln City 1-1 Burton Albion

While Lincoln will bid to return to winning ways and improve on their promising league position at the weekend, Burton Albion travel with momentum on their side, and we fancy them to take a share of the spoils at Sincil Bank.
