Saturday’s League One Predictions Including Reading vs. Huddersfield Town
Crawley Town will host Bolton Wanderers in League One on Saturday, and both teams will be eager to revitalize their seasons. However, the hosts are dealing with the departure of manager Scott Lindsey, who has moved to MK Dons.
On the other hand, Bolton recently faced a disappointing EFL Cup exit against Arsenal and has struggled to find their form this season.
**Prediction:** Crawley Town 1-2 Bolton Wanderers
With both teams closely matched ahead of Saturday’s clash, the impact of Crawley losing their manager could tip the scales slightly in Bolton’s favor. Nonetheless, given Bolton’s recent defensive issues, it would be surprising if they managed to keep a clean sheet away from home this weekend.
Both Reading and Huddersfield Town will be looking to recover from back-to-back defeats when they face off at the Select Car Leasing Stadium on Saturday.
Huddersfield, after a strong start to the season, have slipped to fifth place in the League One standings, while Reading sit in 17th, coming off a 5-2 loss last weekend.
Prediction: Reading 1-1 Huddersfield Town
With both sides eager to return to winning form, this should be a tightly contested match. We predict a draw, with Reading holding Huddersfield to a point as the visitors continue to adapt under Michael Duff.
Aiming to extend their unbeaten start to seven matches, title contenders Birmingham City will host playoff hopefuls Peterborough United at St Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park this Saturday afternoon.
Birmingham have successfully navigated two challenging tests in the third tier since returning from the international break, while Peterborough are gaining momentum after a tough beginning to their campaign.
**Prediction:** Birmingham City 2-1 Peterborough United
With five goals in their last two outings, Peterborough will pose a considerable counter-attacking threat at St Andrew’s this weekend. If Poku finds his rhythm for Posh, Birmingham may face a challenge. However, we believe the Blues will secure their sixth consecutive league victory in a close match.
The Steve Bruce era is in full swing at Blackpool as he aims to build on his strong start when his team hosts Burton Albion at Bloomfield Road in League One this Saturday.
In contrast, Burton have had a dismal beginning to the season, remaining winless in their first six matches with four draws and two losses, leaving them at the bottom of the table in 22nd place.
**Prediction:** Blackpool 2-0 Burton Albion
Given Blackpool’s resurgence under their new manager and their advantage of playing at home against a struggling side, it’s hard to see anything but a victory for them. This match presents a great opportunity not only to secure three points but also to maintain a clean sheet.
Bristol Rovers will look to snap their streak of three straight defeats when they host Wycombe Wanderers at the Memorial Stadium this Saturday.
On the other hand, the Chairboys are set to return to League One action after a disappointing EFL Cup outing against Aston Villa in midweek.
**Prediction:** Bristol Rovers 1-2 Wycombe Wanderers
Wycombe has triumphed in their last five encounters with Bristol Rovers, including a 2-1 victory in last season’s away match. We believe they will maintain this winning streak against a side that has struggled in their last three league games.
Struggling at the bottom of the table, Cambridge United will seek their first win of the season on Saturday as they host Lincoln City at Cledara Abbey Stadium in League One.
In contrast, the visitors have had a strong start to their campaign, entering this match on a four-game unbeaten streak in the league.
**Prediction:** Cambridge United 1-2 Lincoln City
Cambridge has faced a challenging beginning to the season, and we don’t anticipate a change when Lincoln comes to town. However, it’s worth noting that their last three defeats have only been by a single goal, suggesting that this match could prove to be more challenging for Lincoln than it might seem at first glance.
