Tuesday's League One predictions including Portsmouth vs. Cambridge United

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's League One fixtures, including


Bolton vs. Wycombe (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Bolton Wanderers will be bidding to return to winning ways in League One when they welcome an in-form Wycombe Wanderers to the Toughsheet Community Stadium on Tuesday night.

The home side are currently third in the table, seven points behind the leaders Portsmouth, while Wycombe sit 15th, now six points clear of the relegation zone due to their recent strong form.

We say: Bolton Wanderers 2-1 Wycombe Wanderers


Bolton need to return to winning ways as they bid to move into the top two, but this will be a tough test against an improving Wycombe outfit. We are expecting a close game on Tuesday evening but are tipping the home side to navigate their way to an important three points.

Burton Albion vs. Carlisle (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Burton Albion can inflict a seventh successive loss upon Carlisle United when they welcome League One's basement side to the Pirelli Stadium on Tuesday evening.

The hosts battled past Bristol Rovers 2-1 at the weekend, while their cellar-dwelling visitors fought valiantly against Portsmouth but ultimately succumbed to a 1-0 defeat.

We say: Burton Albion 1-0 Carlisle United


Carlisle may have already had Burton's number this season, but the Cumbrians have only been on a downward trajectory since, and Burton have prided themselves on diligent defensive displays at the Pirelli Stadium.

With weekend fatigue also setting in, a classic should not be in store, but a solitary goal - likely to come the way of the hosts - could prove the difference once again.

Charlton vs. Lincoln (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Newly-appointed Charlton Athletic boss Nathan Jones takes charge of his first Addicks home game on Tuesday, when Lincoln City arrive at The Valley for a League One fixture.

The former Southampton coach's reign began with a 2-0 loss to Reading at the weekend, while their mid-table visitors edged past Fleetwood Town 2-1.

We say: Charlton Athletic 1-2 Lincoln City


Having lost their golden touch at The Valley, Charlton could be set for another frustrating evening against a Lincoln side who have given little away in their defensive third over the past few weeks, even with a handful of rearguard concerns to manage.

While we have faith in the Addicks to make one of their chances count on Tuesday evening, a third successive victory for Lincoln is still the only outcome we can envisage.

Two sides with different ambitions face off at Whaddon Road as Cheltenham Town host Blackpool on Tuesday night.

The hosts are aiming to build momentum to escape the relegation zone while the visitors are looking to close the gap on the top six.

We say: Cheltenham Town 1-2 Blackpool


Both sides are coming into this game looking to take a positive step towards their respective goals, which will make it a tough match. However, the visitors have historically dominated this fixture and have been the better side this season.

Exeter vs. Derby (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Exeter City will attempt to claim a third consecutive victory when they welcome Derby County to St James' Park for Tuesday's League One contest.

The Rams, meanwhile, will be looking to return to winning ways after being held to a draw by Shrewsbury Town at the weekend.

We say: Exeter City 0-2 Derby County


Promotion-chasing Derby are set to go up against an in-form Exeter side, but after winning their last two head-to-head meetings, we think that the Rams will do enough to claim all three points on Tuesday.

Fleetwood vs. Reading (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Fleetwood Town will look to bounce back from a defeat to Lincoln City when they play host to Reading in Tuesday's League One fixture.

The Royals, meanwhile, will be hoping to continue their impressive run of form, having avoided defeat in each of their last five league games.

We say: Fleetwood Town 1-1 Reading


Fleetwood will be desperate to claim all three points to help their survival bid, but we think that the hosts will have to settle for a point, with Reading proving to be a tough team to beat in recent weeks.

Leyton Orient vs. Northampton (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Two sides looking to make a charge for the playoff spots will face off on Tuesday night as Leyton Orient welcome Northampton Town to Brisbane Road.

The hosts saw their eight-game unbeaten streak come to an end last time out, while the visitors are without a win in their last three matches.

We say: Leyton Orient 1-0 Northampton Town


Northampton have struggled in their last three outings and could not take advantage of an extra man against Bolton. Despite Leyton's defeat last time out, we think they are still the team to beat in this fixture and should edge it at the end.

Oxford Utd vs. Wigan (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Oxford United and Wigan Athletic square off in League One at the Kassam Stadium on Tuesday night.

The hosts are currently fighting to make the playoff places while the visitors are focused firmly on moving further clear of the relegation zone rather than a late playoff bid.

We say: Oxford United 2-1 Wigan Athletic


With stakes growing in the battle for playoff places in League One, Oxford United know that they cannot afford a lot of slip ups. The hosts should edge this match but we expect the visitors to put up a good fight.

Peterborough vs. Port Vale (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Peterborough United will attempt to get their promotion bid back on track when they welcome Port Vale to the Weston Homes Stadium for Tuesday's League One contest.

Meanwhile, managerless Port Vale will be hoping to end their six-game winless run as they look to boost their survival hopes.

We say: Peterborough United 2-1 Port Vale


After losing their last three matches, Peterborough will view Tuesday's contest as an opportunity to return to winning ways against a struggling Port Vale side, and we think that Posh will ultimately do enough to claim a narrow victory.

Portsmouth vs. Cambridge (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Portsmouth will attempt to extend their unbeaten run to six matches when they welcome Cambridge United to Fratton Park on Tuesday.

The hosts are currently sitting top of the League One table, while the U's head into the midweek round of fixtures in 16th position.

We say: Portsmouth 3-1 Cambridge United


Portsmouth carry significant momentum into Tuesday's contest, and we think that the leaders will continue their promotion push by claiming all three points against a Cambridge side that has tended to struggle on the road this season.

Shrewsbury vs. Barnsley (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

The action continues in round 33 of League One when Shrewsbury Town and Barnsley go head to head at the Croud Meadow Stadium on Tuesday.

Having lost each of the last four meetings between the sides, the Shrews will head into the midweek clash looking to get one over the visitors and pull clear of the danger zone.

We say: Shrewsbury Town 1-2 Barnsley


Shrewsbury Town and Barnsley head into Tuesday's game in contrasting form, with the Shrews managing just one win in their last six matches across all competitions. We predict that Barnsley will pick up where they left off against Leyton Orient and extend their winning streak against the hosts.

Stevenage vs. Bristol Rovers (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Round 33 of the 2023-24 League One season sees Stevenage and Bristol Rovers go head to head against each other at the Lamex Stadium on Tuesday evening.

Neither team was able to come away with maximum points from their most recent outings and they will be looking to get back to winning ways.

We say: Stevenage 2-1 Bristol Rovers


The sides boast similar attacking records heading into this one but Stevenage have had the upper hand defensively and we fancy the home team to emerge victorious come the end of the 90 minutes.
