These are the upcoming pairings I am anticipating most alongside my considered score predictions to assist your football betting…
Huddersfield Town v Wigan Athletic Prediction
- Kick-off: 12.30pm
- Rankings: 2nd versus 24th
Huddersfield Town preview – Tuesday night’s 4-1 hammering of visitors Peterborough United took Huddersfield joint top following four undefeated League One games. The tenacious Terriers haven’t lost at home across 2026/27 EFL action (three wins, two draws).
Wigan Athletic preview – Rock bottom slumbering two points adrift of safety. Wigan are yet to win away in five 2026/27 EFL attempts (one draw, four defeats).
Score prediction: Huddersfield hurricane 6-0.
Luton Town v Leicester City Prediction
- Kick-off: 12.30pm
- Rankings: 13th versus 10th
Luton Town preview – Two maximum pointers during three League One outings leave the Hatters four points shy of Play-Off discussions.
Leicester City preview – A point above Saturday’s hosts. Two consecutive EFL victories have pushed double relegated Leicester to within three points of the coveted Play-Off zone easing pressure considerably on under-fire boss Russell Martin. They remain unconquered away (two wins, three draws) culminating in Tuesday’s 4-0 stroll at Bromley.
Score prediction: Hatters handsome 2-1.
Notts County v Stockport County Prediction
- Kick-off: 3pm
- Rankings: 18th versus 1st
Notts County preview – Precariously hovering one point clear of the dreaded dotted line. Tuesday’s welcome 2-0 home success against Sheffield Wednesday overturned four EFL defeats on the spin for Notts.
Stockport County preview – Four straight League One victories see County leading the table on goal difference. Kyle Wootton netted in Tuesday’s comfortable 2-0 win away to Doncaster Rovers thereby becoming the division’s foremost scorer amassing nine goals.
Score prediction: Stockport supreme 3-1.

- Kick-off: 3pm
- Rankings: 8th versus 3rd
Oxford United preview – Outside the Play-Off region on goal difference after six unbeaten League One assignments. Also undefeated at home thus far in the EFL (two wins, two draws).
Bradford City preview – Knocked off pole position by one point due to Tuesday’s scoreless affair at Burton Albion. It extended the Bantams’ unconquered EFL sequence to seven matches. Just five goals leaked all campaign for this division’s tightest defensive rearguard too.
Score prediction: Pleasurable 3-3.
Cambridge United v Plymouth Argyle Prediction
- Kick-off: 3pm
- Rankings: 4th versus 5th
Cambridge United preview – Two points under the automatic promotion rungs protecting eight unbeaten EFL matches.
Plymouth Argyle preview – Back to back League One defeats without scoring mean Argyle tumbled to one point below Saturday’s opponents.
