Accrington Stanley have made a strong start to the season and currently sit ninth in the League One table.

They are just two points behind the play-off spots and have three games in hand on sixth-placed Portsmouth and Stanley host an MK Dons side who are fresh from a surprise 1-0 win away at Charlton Athletic on Wednesday night. The home side also have lost just once at the Wham Stadium this season and have conceded only five goals.

John Coleman’s side currently sit second in the form table having gone unbeaten in six and scored a last-minute equaliser in their midweek fixture to rescue a point at Shrewsbury Town so will be in good spirits.

We are predicting Stanley to continue their recent run of form and pick up three points on Saturday. Sky Bet are offering odds of 17/10 for Accrington to win and 7/1 for a 1-0.

ICYMI: Read our League Two tips for this weekend right here!

After a couple of fairytale seasons in the Championship, Burton Albion fans are facing a reality check and find themselves in a battle to avoid relegation to League Two this season.

Meanwhile, newly-promoted Crewe Alexandra have settled in well and are comfortable in mid-table ahead of Saturday’s trip to the Pirelli Stadium.

The Brewers are the leaders in the both teams to score table, with both teams finding the back of the net in 12 of the 15 games that they have played this season. They also have the highest average goals in their home matches, witnessing an average of 3.57 goals.

David Artell’s Crewe have won three of their last five games and will fancy their chances at 22nd placed Burton. The Alex have kept just one clean sheet away from home in seven attempts this campaign.

Sky Bet have set odds of 10/3 for Crewe to win and both teams to score.

Last season’s League Two play-off winners Northampton Town would go level on points with Doncaster Rovers, if they can beat the South Yorkshire side at the Sixfields Stadium on Saturday.

Keith Curle’s Cobblers have scored just five goals at home this season and will struggle against a Doncaster side that were tipped for promotion by many this season, whilst Rovers’ only defeat in their last five games came away to league leaders Hull City during midweek.

Seven of the last eight meetings between this side has ended without both teams scoring and we think that the away side will come out on top on this occasion.

Doncaster to win to nil is 5/2 with Sky Bet.

Last season’s play off finalists Oxford United have had a tough start to the season and find themselves just one place above the relegation zone after 14 games. They have their work cut out this weekend as they take on top of the table Hull City, who have won 11 of their 14 games this campaign.

Oxford have lost three of their last four home games in all competitions and their last six defeats have all been with scores of 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1.

Seven of the Tigers’ 11 wins since relegation from the Championship have had scorelines of 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1. Grant McCann’s side will not be short of confidence on the road having won four of their last five away games in the league.

Hull City are 11/4 with Sky Bet to win the game 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1.

Fratton Park plays host to a six-pointer as promotion candidates Portsmouth take on fellow contenders Peterborough United. Pompey would leapfrog Peterborough with a win and will be eager to take advantage of the visitors’ dip in form.

Kenny Jackett’s side are the top scorers in the league with 26 goals in 15 games and sit fourth in the over 2.5 goals table, with eight of their matches finishing with three or more goals. Whilst Posh have lost five of their last six games in all competitions and their games have 2.6 goals in their 15 games so far.

We expect Portsmouth to use their home advantage and pick up all three points on Saturday and Sky Bet are offering odds of 11/4 for them to win and over 2.5 goals in the game.
