With the previous scores standing at 18??'17 to Derby with 11 draws, I could not see anything other than a draw here. Bristol have won 4 of their last 5 home matches in the league, but Derby have won 4 of their last 5 away matches in the league. There is not much between either side in current form, and although Bristol have a slightly better goal average, the draw looks best.

Although the previous statistics favor a win for either side, current statistics and goal difference suggest a close match. For that reason I have to go for a 1-1 draw.

Despite Leicester being 16-12 down to Charlton overall, I have bet them to win this match. They won their last two meetings, split by an 11-year gap from 2014 to 2025. Both sides are starting to hit a bad run of form, but Charlton's defence is poor compared to Leicester's, so the vote goes to a narrow Leicester win.

On current form this match could go either way, but Leicester look to be in slightly better form. Charlton, however, when losing have only been losing matches by the odd goal ??' 1-0, 2-1, etc. I have gone for a close 2-1 Leicester win with home advantage.

These two have only met six times, with Sheffield going 3??'2 up in six meetings up to 2006. The last time they met was in August 2025, when they drew 2??'2. Current form and positions suggest a Wrexham win, with Wednesday struggling.having only one win and eight draws from 28 matches. Wrexham are hotly pursued by five teams, so a win would ease the pressure and this is a golden opportunity.

With only 3 draws from their last 15 matches and struggling for goals as well as results, this could be another defeat for Wed. Wrexham are scoring plenty and, despite letting a few in as well, should be able to shut out Wed and a 3-0 scoreline at least could be on.

This match could go any way on current form, but I have to give Stoke the vote on their goal difference. They have a plus 8 to for Southampton, and despite not scoring as many, they are conceding fewer with a stronger defence. If they can contain Southampton's attack, they should win.

Southampton have a big win advantage of 24??'15 over Stoke, but all bar the last four were in the Premier. Since their relegation they have struggled a bit, with the honours going 2??'2 since. Stoke look to have a better defence and could hold the Saints' attack. 2??'1 Stoke looks a fair result.

These two have played seven times, with Bolton winning 3??'0 and four draws. They won their last two meetings 4??'0 in 2022 and 3??'0 in 2025. They should consolidate their position at third in the division with a good win here.

Bolton are going well and are 3-0 up overall against AFC with 4 draws. They have won their last two meetings 4-0 and 3-0 and could shut the inconsistent AFC out, but they have hit 3 and 4 on two occasions of late. I think that 3-1 to Bolton would be a fair result.

Doncaster are struggling near the bottom, but a win here would ease their worries, potentially moving them up as many as five places from the relegation zone. Both sides have had changes in form and fortunes recently, with Bradford losing four of their last five league matches and Doncaster winning three and drawing one of their last five. Based on current and overall form, I have gone for a Doncaster win.

Earlier league form would give Bradford a great chance of the win here, but they have hit a poor run of form. Doncaster had a poor start but have started to gain results and points of late, suggesting that they are not going to be easy to beat. As Doncaster are 12-10 up overall and are playing better now, I have gone for them to win this match 2-1.

These two have played eight times, with the scores standing at 4??'4. Bristol have won the last two, but Newport won the previous two. However, Bristol have lost their last four league and cup matches and eight of their last ten, so I have gone for a Newport win. Their current results look slightly better, and since both of these teams either win or lose and have yet to draw, Newport is the pick.

This is a match probably left alone, but Newport have been scoring plenty of goals of late, win, lose, or draw. As Bristol underscored in their last 3 league matches, I have gone for a rare Newport 2-1 win.

It would not surprise me to see this match end up a draw. They are 5-5 overall with 3 draws, and both teams are in flying form. I have to side with the Dons as one of my teams to follow.

With both teams in a rich run of form, this was quite a hard choice. The fact that the Dons have the best goals-for/against record in the division and are scoring around 2 to 1, I have gone for a Dons 3-1 win.
