Saturday's League One predictions including Derby vs. Sheffield Wednesday

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's League One fixtures, including Derby vs. Sheffield Wednesday.

Sheffield Wednesday will again look to break into the top two of the League One table on Saturday, when they travel to Pride Park to take on Derby County.

After three straight wins in the third tier, the Owls now sit just a single point outside of the automatic promotion spots, while their hosts also find themselves unbeaten in their last five league matches.

We say: Derby County 1-2 Sheffield Wednesday


Derby County look to be improving under Paul Warne and they do possess quality, but we see the visitors being slightly too strong and extending their dominant run of form with a narrow away win at the weekend.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

MK Dons and Burton Albion meet on Saturday afternoon in a match which could prove pivotal to their respective League One campaigns.

Both clubs currently sit six points adrift of safety in the third tier and risk being cut further away from 20th position with a defeat.

We say: MK Dons 2-1 Burton Albion


Given their respective form, neither team will feel particularly confident about collecting maximum points at the weekend. Nevertheless, despite Burton heading into this fixture on the back of two draws, MK Dons remain the favourites and could edge the game by the odd goal in three.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Shrewsbury vs. Lincoln (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Shrewsbury Town will aim to break a six-game winless run in League One on Saturday, when they welcome Lincoln City to New Meadow.

The Shrews have dropped to 16th spot in the league table as a result of their tough form, but they were able to advance to the third round of the FA Cup with a win over Peterborough United last time out.

We say: Shrewsbury Town 1-1 Lincoln City


While Shrewsbury are lacking form in League One, they should take confidence from last week's victory over Peterborough, and with home advantage we back them to at least take a point against an improving Lincoln side.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Oxford United will aim to take their unbeaten run to nine games in all competitions on Saturday, when they make the trip to take on Accrington Stanley.

An upturn in form has seen the visitors climb to 13th spot in the League One table, having also progressed to the third round of the FA Cup with a victory last weekend, as did their hosts with a triumph over Barnet.

We say: Accrington Stanley 1-3 Oxford United


Accrington Stanley have certainly improved in recent weeks and will look to kick on with another positive result on Saturday, but Oxford United possess more attacking quality and we see them having enough to continue their unbeaten run and return home with all three points.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.
