Tuesday's League One predictions including Reading vs. Derby County

Bristol Rovers vs. Exeter (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

On Tuesday, Exeter City will make the trip to the Memorial Stadium for a League One meeting with Bristol Rovers.

The hosts currently occupy 12th place in the standings, while the Grecians are hovering just above the drop zone in 20th position.

We say: Bristol Rovers 1-1 Exeter City

With both teams struggling for confidence, we think Tuesday's encounter could prove to be a cagey contest, where the two sides may have to settle for a share of the spoils.

Charlton vs. Northampton (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Charlton Athletic will try to claim their first win since November 28 when they welcome Northampton Town to The Valley for Tuesday's League One encounter.

The Cobblers, meanwhile, will have the chance to extend their unbeaten run to four league games, having taken seven points from their last three matches.

We say: Charlton Athletic 2-2 Northampton Town

Charlton will be desperate to end their long wait for a win, but we think the Addicks may have to settle for a point against a Northampton side that has lost just one of their last seven league matches.

Wigan vs. Wycombe (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Wigan Athletic will have the chance to claim a second straight victory when they play host to Wycombe Wanderers in Tuesday's League One fixture.

The visitors, meanwhile, have proven to be a tough team to beat in recent weeks, having avoided defeat in their last five competitive matches.

We say: Wigan Athletic 2-1 Wycombe Wanderers

Although Wycombe are unbeaten in five matches, Wigan tend to save their best performances for the DW Stadium, and we think they will make full use of home advantage to claim a narrow victory on Tuesday.

Oxford Utd vs. Barnsley (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Two teams battling for promotion from League One this season will lock horns for an intriguing contest on Tuesday evening, with sixth-placed Oxford United welcoming fifth-placed Barnsley.

The home side will enter the contest off the back of a 3-1 victory at Carlisle United on January 13, while Barnsley beat the same opponents 2-1 in their last game on January 16.

We say: Oxford United 1-1 Barnsley

This is a really tough match to call, and both managers would likely accept a point if it were offered ahead of kickoff. There will be a desire from both not to lose this game, which could make it a cagey affair, and we are expecting the points to be shared on Tuesday night.

Bolton vs. Cheltenham (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Bolton Wanderers will play host to Cheltenham Town on Saturday as both sides aim to continue positive runs at either end of the League One table.

Thanks to four straight victories, the hosts sit second in England's third tier with a two-point lead over third place, while their visitors have climbed within three points of safety under Darrell Clarke.

We say: Bolton Wanderers 2-1 Cheltenham Town

Saturday's test will certainly not be an easy one for Bolton, with Cheltenham Town looking a completely new side and marching towards safety under Clarke, but the hosts do still boast far more quality throughout their squad and should have what it takes to get over the line on home turf and make it five straight three-point hauls in League One.

Reading vs. Derby (Tuesday, 8.00pm)

Relegation-threatened Reading will welcome promotion-chasing Derby County to the Select Car Leasing Stadium on Tuesday.

The hosts, who have been deducted four points this season, are languishing in 21st place in the League One table, while the visitors are currently sitting in third position.

We say: Reading 1-3 Derby County

Having picked up 29 points from their 14 road trips in League One, Derby currently boasts the best away record in the third tier, and we think they will get the better of Reading on Tuesday to extend their unbeaten away run to seven league matches.
