Saturday's League One predictions including Wycombe vs. Sunderland

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's League One fixtures, including Wycombe Wanderers vs. Sunderland.

Seeking a return to the top of the League One pile on Saturday, Sunderland meet fellow promotion chasers Wycombe Wanderers at Adams Park.

With their other rivals for the title in FA Cup action this weekend, the Black Cats can reach the summit with a win, but will be up against it when they encounter a home side sitting just four points and two places behind them.

We say: Wycombe Wanderers 1-1 Sunderland


Unbeaten in nine league matches, Sunderland should arrive as favourites, but a decimated squad may be forced to merely battle for a point against a combative Wycombe side.

The hosts have lost only twice at home this term and are capable of threatening the Black Cats' back line with an experienced strikeforce, so should hold them to a score draw at Adams Park.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Doncaster vs. Fleetwood (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two sides battling at the foot of League One meet on Saturday, as bottom club Doncaster Rovers welcome Fleetwood Town to the Eco-Power Stadium.

While the hosts have the weakest attack in the division, their visitors - sitting six points ahead of them - have been dire defensively and lost their last game 3-0 at home to Shrewsbury.

We say: Doncaster Rovers 1-1 Fleetwood Town


Even though their fortunes had improved a little before an enforced spell on the sidelines, Fleetwood are sure to have lost some match-fitness in the past two weeks, and will pay the price on Saturday.

Doncaster can therefore secure a valuable point against their relegation rivals - fired on by determination to bounce back from last week's implosion.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Gillingham vs. Ipswich (Saturday, 3.00pm)

After winning his first game as Ipswich Town boss, Kieran McKenna will be looking to start his tenure with consecutive victories when his side travel to thetPriestfield Stadium on Saturday.

The visitors may fancy their chances as they will face a Gillingham side who are in the League One relegation zone, with the Gills without a win in their last 12 games in all competitions.

We say: Gillingham 1-2 Ipswich Town


We expect Saturday's encounter to be close, but the new manager bounce could prove significant, and we think that will help Ipswich to their fourth away league win of the season.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

On Saturday, Accrington Stanley will take to the field for the first time in 2022 when they play host to MK Dons in League One.

The hosts head into the weekend in 10th position, while MK Dons sit in seventh place with five more points than Saturday's opponents.

We say: Accrington Stanley 1-0 MK Dons


In the last four meetings between the two teams, the side who has had home advantage has prevailed, and we think that trend will continue on Saturday with Stanley extending their unbeaten run to four games.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Cheltenham Town will welcome Burton Albion to Whaddon Road on Saturday, with the hosts looking to bring an end to their current seven-game winless run in all competitions.

Meanwhile, the Brewers will be aiming for consecutive victories in a bid to improve on their current midtable position.

We say: Cheltenham Town 1-3 Burton Albion


Burton are unbeaten in their last six meetings with Cheltenham, and given the fact that the Robins are struggling to pick up points of late, we think the Brewers will prevail to claim all three points on Saturday.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Oxford United will travel to Sincil Bank for a League One meeting with Lincoln City on Saturday, and the visitors enter the contest in a playoff place.

At the other end of the table, Lincoln occupy a position in the relegation zone after failing to win in their last eight games in all competitions.

We say: Lincoln City 1-2 Oxford United


Oxford enter the contest as one of the most in-form sides in the league, and we think that they will take advantage of a Lincoln side low on confidence to claim a narrow victory.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.
