Our League One Tips for the Weekend - 27/11/21

Portsmouth will be looking to keep their strong form going and push towards a play-off spot when they travel to Priestfield Stadium to face Gillingham on Saturday. The hosts have been in a poor run of form, losing their last three games in all competitions and winless in their last five league games, while the Gills lost last time out, a 2-0 home defeat to Cheltenham on Tuesday. Portsmouth, on the other hand, have been in a fine run of form, winning their last five games in all competitions and unbeaten in their last six league games.

AFC Wimbledon can pile more misery on Fleetwood on Saturday when the teams meet at Plough Lane. The Dons picked up a win in their last game, a 3-2 win over Crewe on Tuesday and it saw Wimbledon move up to 18th in the table. Fleetwood are in the bottom three after a poor season so far. Four defeats in their last five saw Simon Grayson sacked following the 3-1 defeat at Oxford in midweek.

Burton will try and keep up in the hunt for a play-off spot when they welcome a struggling Doncaster to the Pirelli Stadium. The Brewers are in twelfth place, with the 4-0 win over Accrington on Tuesday putting an end to a bad run of form that saw them lose four in a row.

A win against relegation-battling Doncaster could lift Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s side up as far as tenth. Donny are without a win in their last five and sit second from bottom, four points from safety.

A devastating defeat in midweek saw MK Dons’ winning run come to an end, but they can get back to winning ways with a win over Morecambe. Liam Manning’s side were leading at Sheffield Wednesday before two late goals in the 83rd and 93rd minute saw Wednesday turn the game around.

It keeps MK Dons one point away from the play-offs, with a win against Morecambe able to take them up as far as fifth. Scott Twine scored the opener in that game and has nine league goals so far this season. He’ll be looking to add more to his tally against a struggling Shrimps side that are four games without a win and have lost two of their last three.

Two sides that are keeping their heads above water and out of the relegation zone lock horns on Saturday, with Accrington travelling to Lincoln. Both teams are near the bottom end but have a five-point cushion to the relegation zone as the hosts have gone three league games without, losing last time out against Portsmouth, with their last win coming against Wigan over a month ago.

It’s even worse for Accrington, who have lost three in a row and we can't see them winning here.
