Saturday's League One predictions including Rotherham vs. Huddersfield

sportsmole.co.uk, 31 August 2024, 05:10
Blackpool vs. Wycombe (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Blackpool will be looking to claim their first league win of the season when they welcome Wycombe Wanderers to Bloomfield Road on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Chairboys will have the opportunity to clinch a second straight win after beating Rotherham United last weekend.

We say: Blackpool 1-1 Wycombe Wanderers

Wycombe have avoided defeat in each of their last nine meetings with Blackpool, and we think they will continue that run by holding the Tangerines to a draw at Bloomfield Road.

Rotherham vs. Huddersfield (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Following contrasting starts to their League One campaigns after suffering relegation last time around, Rotherham United and Huddersfield Town will square off in a key contest at the New York Stadium on Saturday.

The visitors have kicked off their bid with a perfect record in their opening three league outings, while the hosts are yet to put a notch in their wins column.

We say: Rotherham United 1-2 Huddersfield Town

The two sides dropped into League One this term with similar levels of quality and ambitions for promotion, and we anticipate a tight contest at the New York Stadium.

It is the visitors who head into the game with all of the momentum, and they may fancy themselves to make it four league wins on the bounce against a Rotherham side who are yet to get up and running.

Birmingham vs. Wigan (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Aiming to continue their unbeaten spell at the start of the new third-tier season, Birmingham City will welcome Wigan Athletic to St Andrew's @ Knighthead Park for a League One clash on Saturday afternoon.

Blues were in action against Premier League opposition in the EFL Cup on Tuesday night, whilst the Latics have enjoyed a full week to prepare for a trip to the Second City this weekend.

We say: Birmingham City 1-0 Wigan Athletic

Birmingham have dominated proceedings in their League One matches so far this season, although that level of control has not always led to an abundance of clear-cut chances.

We expect that theme to continue against a stubborn Wigan side on Saturday afternoon, when Blues should eventually find a way to break down the Latics and claim maximum points.

Bolton vs. Exeter (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Bolton Wanderers and Exeter City square off on Saturday afternoon looking to build on what has been a mixed start to the season.

These two teams sit in 13th and 17th spot in the League One standings, only accumulating one victory apiece from three matches.

We say: Bolton Wanderers 2-1 Exeter City

Neither side have any momentum heading into this contest based on their recent League One fixtures, which could make for a low-key affair. However, we are backing the home side to come through, potentially through a late goal when Exeter are settling for a point.

Bristol Rovers vs. Cambridge (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Still seeking their first win of the 2024-25 League One season, Cambridge United will travel to the Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon to face Bristol Rovers.

The hosts are 14th in the table with four points from their opening three games, while the visitors are 20th with one point from their first three fixtures.

We say: Bristol Rovers 1-0 Cambridge United

While Bristol Rovers have struggled in front of goal in the league, Cambridge are yet to win in League One and have conceded seven times in three games, suggesting the hosts could win this one.

Crawley vs. Barnsley (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Both aiming to get back to winning ways in League One, Crawley Town and Barnsley will square off at the Broadfield Stadium on Saturday.

The hosts suffered a defeat last weekend after winning their first two outings, while their visitors played out a draw and bounced back with a midweek EFL Cup victory.

We say: Crawley Town 1-2 Barnsley

Crawley Town have shown positive signs on their return to League One and should have plenty of optimism under Scott Lindsey, but they may lack the quality to match Barnsley on Saturday and could succumb to a narrow defeat against a Reds side growing in confidence.

Mansfield vs. Stockport (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two newly-promoted outfits lock horns at the One Call Stadium in League One on Saturday, when Mansfield Town host Stockport County.

The visitors enter the weekend top of League One following a perfect start, while Mansfield will be looking to bounce back after a disappointing result last weekend.

We say: Mansfield Town 0-2 Stockport County

Stockport have lost on their last five visits to this stadium, but with the form they are in, the visitors will be the slight favourites.

Last week's heavy defeat could weigh heavily on Mansfield, and facing the league leaders straight after is not ideal, so this could prove a difficult ask.

Northampton vs. Burton Albion (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Northampton Town and Burton Albion meet on Saturday at Sixfields, where the hosts are looking to continue a solid start to the season and the visitors are looking for their first league win of the campaign.

The two sides are among the favourites to be relegated into League Two, and even this early into the season this game could prove to be a crucial six-pointer.

We say: Northampton Town 2-1 Burton Albion

Northampton have made a solid start to their league campaign and having fought back so heroically against Barnsley last time out, confidence is sure to be high for the Cobblers.

Burton meanwhile have been shipping goals at an alarming rate, having conceded 11 goals in just four games, and their defensive frailties could once again be their undoing here.

Peterborough vs. Wrexham (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Peterborough United will attempt to claim a third consecutive victory when they welcome Wrexham to Weston Homes Stadium for Saturday's League One contest.

Meanwhile, the visitors will have the opportunity to record back-to-back victories after beating Reading last weekend.

We say: Peterborough United 2-2 Wrexham

Peterborough will be full of confidence after recording back-to-back victories, but we think they will have to be content with a point when they face a Wrexham side who have made an unbeaten start to the League One season.

Reading vs. Charlton (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Reading host Charlton Athletic on Saturday when the up-and-down form of the hosts comes up against a side that are yet to concede a goal in the league.

The visitors have also won their opening three games and look primed for a promotion push, but this game represents an early test of their credentials.

We say: Reading 0-1 Charlton Athletic

While Reading's form has been up and down, they have demonstrated that they can pose a threat to teams if afforded time and space on the ball.

Charlton meanwhile have a miserly defence and have proven that they do not need to have more possession or create more chances than their opponents to take all three points, and Saturday's game could prove to be yet another example of that.

Shrewsbury vs. Leyton Orient (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two teams with three league defeats from three meet on Saturday when Shrewsbury Town host Leyton Orient at Croud Meadow.

The Shrews only have a penalty shootout win to shout about so far this season, while the O's have had a tricky fixture list and will be hoping for an upturn in form with their upcoming games.

We say: Shrewsbury Town 1-2 Leyton Orient

Shrewsbury's turgid start to the season is in dire need of a spark to lift them out of their slump, but Saturday's opponents also have the same motivation heading into this game.

Leyton Orient have had a tough start on paper, but they have shown glimpses against the top sides and in the cup win over Millwall that they might just have enough to leave Croud Meadow with a vital three points.

Stevenage vs. Lincoln (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Lincoln City will attempt to claim a second straight victory when they travel to the Lamex Stadium for Saturday's League One clash with Stevenage.

Meanwhile, the visitors will be looking to return to winning ways after taking just one point from their last two league matches.

We say: Stevenage 1-1 Lincoln City

Stevenage have made a positive start on home turf this season, having won their two competitive home matches by a 1-0 scoreline.

While they will want to claim a third consecutive home win, we think they will have to settle for a point against a Lincoln side who have avoided defeat in each of their last 10 away league games.
