Saturday's League One predictions including Plymouth vs. Forest Green

sportsmole.co.uk, 18 March 2023, 06:10
Lincoln vs. Peterborough (Saturday, 1.00pm)

Lincoln City welcome Peterborough United to Sincil Bank in the latest round of League One fixtures on Saturday afternoon.

The hosts are 13th in the table, out of contention for a playoff push but comfortably clear of the relegation zone, while the visitors are up in eighth place and still have an outside chance of winning promotion.

We say: Lincoln City 1-3 Peterborough United

It is crunch time for Peterborough in their push for the playoff places, and we back them to secure a victory on Saturday, given that Lincoln have very little to play for at this point.

The Posh have been in fine form in front of goal in recent weeks, and it will be no surprise if Clarke-Harris is again on the scoresheet, in a relatively comfortable victory.

Accrington vs. MK Dons (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Accrington Stanley take on MK Dons at the Wham Stadium on Saturday afternoon, in what could prove to be a real relegation six-pointer in League One.

The hosts are 20th in the table, just two points clear of the visitors, who occupy 21st place.

We say: Accrington Stanley 0-0 MK Dons

MK Dons and Accrington Stanley are very evenly-matched, and so it is very difficult to pick a winner in Saturday's game.

As such, we expect a very cagey match, akin to the encounter earlier this season, with the most likely result being a draw.

Bristol Rovers vs. Portsmouth (Saturday, 3.00pm)

After their three-game unbeaten run was ended by Wycombe Wanderers in midweek, Bristol Rovers will be looking for a positive response when they welcome Portsmouth to the Memorial Stadium on Saturday.

In contrast, the visitors have the chance to claim a second straight victory following Tuesday's away win over Accrington Stanley.

We say: Bristol Rovers 1-2 Portsmouth

Pompey would have been buoyed by their midweek away victory, and after beating Bristol Rovers 3-1 in August, we think that the visitors will have the edge over their opponents on Saturday.

Cambridge vs. Charlton (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Cambridge United host Charlton Athletic at the Abbey Stadium on Saturday afternoon, in what could be a vital match in the home side's bid to avoid relegation.

The U's are 23rd in the table, currently sitting five points from safety, while the visitors are firmly rooted in mid-table, occupying 12th place.

We say: Cambridge United 0-1 Charlton Athletic

Neither side has been particularly impressive in recent weeks, but we expect Charlton to do just enough to secure the three points, plunging Cambridge into real danger of being relegated.

The Addicks managed to record a narrow 1-0 away victory against struggling Forest Green Rovers last month, and it would not be a surprise to see a similar scoreline on Saturday.

Cheltenham vs. Exeter (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Cheltenham Town will be aiming to extend their unbeaten run at home when they host Exeter City at Whaddon Road on Saturday afternoon.

The visitors, meanwhile, are unbeaten in their last three league encounters as they look to consolidate their place in the top half of the League One table.

We say: Cheltenham Town 2-1 Exeter City

Both sides are unbeaten in their last three league outings, so we can see this one being a closely-fought contest.

However, the Grecians have only picked up one point from their last three road trips, so we think the home side will edge this contest.

Derby vs. Fleetwood (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Derby County will be seeking to make it back-to-back wins when they welcome Fleetwood Town to Pride Park on Saturday afternoon.

Meanwhile, the visitors are winless in their last four outings across all competitions.

We say: Derby County 2-0 Fleetwood Town

Derby have one of the best home records in the division this season, picking up 12 wins from their 18 games at Pride Park, so we think they will have enough quality to win this game.

In contrast, Fleetwood have struggled to find the back of the net in recent weeks, and the Rams have only lost twice on their home patch this term.

Ipswich vs. Shrewsbury (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Ipswich Town will attempt to claim a sixth consecutive victory when they welcome Shrewsbury Town to Portman Road for a League One contest on Saturday.

The visitors, meanwhile, will be looking to record a second straight win after beating Morecambe 3-1 last weekend.

We say: Ipswich Town 3-1 Shrewsbury Town

Ipswich head into the weekend with a resolute defence and a forward line, which has found the net with ease this season, and we think that the hosts will continue their impressive run of form by claiming a comfortable victory over Shrewsbury.

Morecambe vs. Oxford Utd (Saturday, 3.00pm)

After failing to win their last five matches, relegation-threatened Morecambe will look to return to winning ways when they host Oxford United at the Mazuma Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Like their hosts, Oxford are also enduring a poor run of form, having picked up just one point from their previous 10 matches.

We say: Morecambe 1-1 Oxford United

Both sides are in poor veins of form, and neither can afford to lose this crucial match, so we think both teams will play it safe.

There is not a lot to split both sides, so we can see the spoils being shared in a tightly-contested affair.

Plymouth vs. Forest Green (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Plymouth Argyle will aim to keep hold of their spot in the top two of the League One table on Saturday, when they welcome Forest Green Rovers to Home Park.

The Pilgrims suffered a disappointing defeat away at Barnsley last weekend to see their lead over the chasing pack reduced, while the visitors find themselves rooted to the foot of the division and winless in 15 league games.

We say: Plymouth Argyle 2-0 Forest Green Rovers

Knowing they have no more room for error with the gap to Ipswich reduced to two points, Plymouth will be desperate to return to winning ways on home turf at the weekend and should have more than enough quality to see off a Forest Green Rovers side lacking any confidence.

Port Vale vs. Burton Albion (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Port Vale will have the chance to record three consecutive home victories when they play host to Burton Albion on Saturday.

The visitors, who are currently sitting in 18th place in the League One table, will be looking for a response after being thrashed 5-2 by Peterborough United in midweek.

We say: Port Vale 2-1 Burton Albion

Port Vale have taken four points from their last two matches, and after winning their previous two home games, we think that they will utilise home advantage to claim a narrow victory on Saturday.

Wycombe vs. Barnsley (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Wycombe Wanderers will attempt to record a second straight victory when they welcome Barnsley to Adams Park on Saturday.

While the hosts are currently sitting in seventh place in the League One table, Barnsley occupy fourth position after embarking on a 10-game unbeaten run.

We say: Wycombe Wanderers 1-1 Barnsley

Barnsley will travel to Adams Park in impressive form after dropping just four points in their last 10 matches, but we think they will be held by a Wycombe side who are unbeaten in five home games.
