The Latics will be hoping to end their five-game winless run this weekend, while the Red Dragons will be looking to make it five victories from their last six.
We say: Wigan Athletic 1-2 Wrexham
Wigan will be feeling the pressure of slipping down the table this weekend, so expect to see some fight in their performance.
That being said, Wrexham have been in excellent form in recent months, and considering the strength of their away record, they should take all three points on Saturday.

In the hunt for automatic promotion from League One, high-flying Wycombe Wanderers are set to host Stevenage at Adams Park on Saturday.
The Chairboys will be looking for some stability with back-to-back wins this weekend, while the Boro will be hoping to build on their victory last time out.
We say: Wycombe Wanderers 2-0 Stevenage
Wycombe may have been inconsistent in recent months, but their home record suggests that they are unlikely to concede at Adams Park this weekend at the very least.
Additionally, with the chance to close the gap to Wrexham to just one point, the Chairboys should be motivated to take all three on Saturday.

Aiming to bounce back from a midweek defeat and return to the top six of the League One table, Bolton Wanderers will travel to Oakwell to take on Barnsley on Saturday.
The visitors trail the final playoff place by two points, while their visitors have dropped into the bottom half following consecutive defeats.
We say: Barnsley 1-2 Bolton Wanderers
Needing to quickly get their playoff bid back on track, we fancy Bolton Wanderers to come out on top against a Barnsley side who are left devoid of confidence after a dismal run in the new year and whose tally of 22 points at home this season is only better than four sides in the division.

The Gas will be desperate to stop the rot after five defeats on the bounce, while the Grecians will be looking for their second win this month.
We say: Bristol Rovers 1-1 Exeter City
Rovers have scored in each of their last 11 home games, and with the pressure of demotion on their minds, they will be motivated to put in a strong performance this weekend.
That being said, Exeter have proven tough to beat both at home and away in recent weeks, so expect them to take a point at the very least on Saturday.

We say: Burton Albion 2-1 Huddersfield Town
Aiming to rebound from their midweek setback and escape the bottom four, we back a Burton Albion side who are buoyed under Gary Bowyer to get the better of the visitors, who are yet to end their dismal run in 2025 under the interim management of Worthington.

The U’s will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to five games this weekend, while the Addicks will be hoping to make it three wins from their last four.
We say: Cambridge United 1-2 Charlton Athletic
Cambridge have proven tough to beat in recent weeks, so expect them to put up a fight despite the disparity in league position between the sides.
That being said, Charlton have lost just one of their last five on the road and are in excellent form more generally, making it difficult to picture anything other than three points for the Addicks on Saturday.

Despite enduring mixed fortunes under Lindsey, Crawley will back themselves to earn something from this contest. Nevertheless, with Leyton Orient having recently gotten back on track, we can only predict a narrow away win.

Lincoln City square off against Shrewsbury Town on Saturday afternoon playing for pride now that they are effectively out of the playoff race.
At a time when the home side sit in 11th position in the League One table, Shrewsbury are cut adrift at the bottom of the standings and could be relegated this weekend.
We say: Lincoln City 2-0 Shrewsbury Town
Although Appleton is returning to a former club, he may be more focused on planning for next season at this stage, assuming that he stays at Shrewsbury. Nevertheless, Lincoln should come through this contest in relatively comfortable fashion as they bid to return to the top 10.

With both clubs securing pivotal victories last time out, we expect a competitive encounter to materialise on Saturday. However, with Northampton’s best work coming on their travels, we feel that Reading will edge this contest by the odd goal in three.

Stockport County play host to Rotherham United on Saturday afternoon knowing that only a win will do if they wish to remain competitive in the hunt for automatic promotion.

We say: Stockport County 2-1 Rotherham United
With Rotherham on the up, this has all the makings of an interesting contest, Stockport vulnerable to playing a team able to compete without any pressure. Nevertheless, that extra cutting edge may prove important, leading us to back a narrow triumph for the home side.
