Saturday's League One predictions including Stockport County vs. Wrexham

sportsmole.co.uk, 16 November 2024, 06:05
Exeter vs. Lincoln (Saturday, 12.30pm)

The early kickoff in League One on Saturday sees Exeter City welcome Lincoln City to St James Park.

Both teams are in playoff contention, but it is Michael Skubala's men who currently have the advantage in the league standings ahead of this trip to Devon.

We say: Exeter City 0-0 Lincoln City

Exeter are the masters of pragmatism in League One, being near the bottom of the scoring charts but fighting for a playoff spot, with eight clean sheets from 13 league games so far.

However, Lincoln are very strong on the road, with just one league defeat away from home this season, meaning this encounter should be extremely tight and tough to call.

Blackpool vs. Northampton (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Steve Bruce's Blackpool welcome Northampton Town to Bloomfield Road in League One on Saturday afternoon.

Both clubs have regressed slightly based on their performances from last season, with the Seasiders in particular having a difficult campaign.

We say: Blackpool 1-1 Northampton Town

Neither team has been particularly convincing in recent weeks, and it shows in the league table, with both clubs only narrowly above the relegation zone.

Northampton's surprise point at Birmingham last week may be something of an outlier, and their injury crisis means they are weakened at present, so a draw is possibly the best they can achieve here, despite Blackpool sitting bottom of the form standings.

Bristol Rovers vs. Crawley (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two sides lingering near the bottom of League One meet at the Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon, when Bristol Rovers host Crawley Town.

Rob Elliot is beginning to get settled as the Red Devils manager, while the hosts are seemingly regressing with some underwhelming results of late.

We say: Bristol Rovers 1-1 Crawley Town

Bristol Rovers' draw with Lincoln last weekend was their first since mid-August, but another could be in store in quick succession here, as they now face a Crawley side who have had a knack of picking up points in the recent weeks.

Cambridge vs. Barnsley (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Aiming to narrow their gap to the top two in the League One table with a third consecutive victory, Barnsley will visit the Abbey Stadium to take on Cambridge United on Saturday.

The visitors sit fourth in the midst of a four-match unbeaten streak, while their visitors find themselves 22nd after suffering a heavy defeat last weekend.

We say: Cambridge United 0-2 Barnsley

While the loss of Luca Connell could certainly hurt Barnsley, the rejuvenated Reds should still have more than enough quality to get past a Cambridge side wounded by a derby thrashing last week.

Stockport vs. Wrexham (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two newly-promoted teams will face off when Stockport County welcome Wrexham to Edgeley Park for Saturday's League One contest.

The hosts are sitting in sixth place in League One with 24 points to their name, while the visitors are four points better off in fourth position.

We say: Stockport County 2-1 Wrexham

Stockport have won each of their previous three home games against Wrexham, and while we do not expect them to replicate the 5-0 win from last season's home clash, we think they will do enough to extend that run by claiming a narrow victory on Saturday.
