Accrington Stanley will want to extend their unbeaten run to six games in all competitions when they play host to Barnsley on Boxing Day.
The visitors, meanwhile, will be looking to continue their winning streak after recording five consecutive victories in League One.
We say: Accrington Stanley 1-3 Barnsley
Although Accrington are unbeaten in their last five games in all competitions, we think that Barnsley will have enough quality to claim a sixth consecutive victory in League One.

Burton Albion will attempt to end a seven-game winless run in League One when they welcome Lincoln City to the Pirelli Stadium on Boxing Day.
The visitors, meanwhile, will be keen to claim all three points after winning only one of their last six league games.
We say: Burton Albion 1-1 Lincoln City
Burton have failed to win their last seven league games, but after drawing four of their previous five matches in League One, we think that they will hold Lincoln to a draw on Monday.

Aiming to end a five-game winless streak in League One, Cambridge United welcome mid-table Shrewsbury Town to the Abbey Stadium on Boxing Day.
Both sides have been out of action for a fortnight following the cancellation of their previous fixtures, and the visitors return to the fray seeking a fourth straight win.
We say: Cambridge United 1-1 Shrewsbury Town
Surely Cambridge can finally halt their scoreless run in front of their own fans, after a week off to reflect on a positive performance last time out and refine their approach. Even so, Shrewsbury are full of confidence in the final third, so should be expected to score themselves and bring home at least one point.

Dean Holden will take charge of his first League One game as Charlton Athletic manager on Boxing Day, when they welcome Peterborough United to The Valley.
The Addicks find themselves 18th in the league table after three consecutive defeats, while their visitors have fallen to eighth spot following four losses on the bounce.
We say: Charlton Athletic 2-1 Peterborough United
Although both teams are struggling for form and confidence, the change in manager and recent cup win could provide a boost for Charlton and we see them beginning with a home victory under Holden's charge.

Cheltenham Town welcome League One table-toppers Plymouth Argyle to Whaddon Road on Boxing Day, looking to distance themselves from the relegation zone.
The hosts have not played for over two weeks since they beat Chelsea Under-21's 4-0 in the EFL trophy, while the visitors squeezed past AFC Wimbledon in the same competition, in a rescheduled fixture on Wednesday.
We say: Cheltenham Town 1-2 Plymouth Argyle
With both sides in patchy form, it is difficult to call this encounter with much conviction, but ultimately, the quality of the league leaders should tell.
Plymouth have suffered with defensive injuries of late, so we can see the home side getting on the scoresheet, but the firepower of the division's top scorers should prove too much.

Exeter City will try to end a five-game winless run in all competitions when they welcome Portsmouth to St James' Park on Boxing Day.
The visitors will also be looking to end a poor spell of form after failing to win any of their last six matches in League One.
We say: Exeter City 1-1 Portsmouth
Two of Exeter's last three games have ended all square, while Pompey have drawn four of their previous six matches, and we think that the two sides will have to settle for a share of the spoils when they go head-to-head on Monday.

Two sides involved in battles at opposite ends of the League One table will square at Highbury on Boxing Day, as Fleetwood Town entertain Sheffield Wednesday.
The hosts sit six points clear of the relegation zone after the postponement of their contest last weekend, while the Owls remain just outside of the automatic promotion places following three consecutive draws.
We say: Fleetwood Town 0-2 Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday have not been at their best in recent weeks, but with the quality in their squad, we think they are bound to return to winning ways soon and see them returning to South Yorkshire with all three points.

Ipswich vs. Oxford Utd (Monday, 3.00pm)

After losing top spot in the League One table, Ipswich Town return to action on Boxing Day, as they welcome Oxford United to Portman Road.
While Town saw their long unbeaten run in the league ended at Wycombe last time out, the U's extended their own streak without defeat to 10 games with a goalless draw against Sheffield Wednesday.
We say: Ipswich Town 2-2 Oxford United
Having played just twice since the start of December, Oxford will certainly arrive in Ipswich fresh-legged, and they are set to severely test their hosts' resolve. Town will be fired up in front of a full house, though, and it could be an entertaining encounter in which the spoils are shared.

MK Dons vs. Forest Green (Monday, 3.00pm)

Two sides in the League One relegation zone go head-to-head on Boxing Day, as MK Dons welcome Forest Green Rovers to Stadium MK.
The hosts return to league action after a 3-0 EFL Cup exit at the hands of Leicester City, while the visitors will be looking to recover from a 4-0 thrashing at Derby County.
We say: MK Dons 1-1 Forest Green Rovers
The side with just one home win this season welcomes visitors with just one win on the road, so we are expecting this to be a tight and cagey relegation scrap.
Optimism is high for the arrival of a promising new coach for the Dons, but Forest Green's two wins in their last three proves that they are up for the fight, and that they should be able to secure at least a point.

After losing their last two games in all competitions, Port Vale will try to return to winning ways when they welcome Morecambe to Vale Park on Boxing Day.
The visitors, meanwhile, will be desperate to end their poor run of form after failing to win any of their previous 10 competitive games.
We say: Port Vale 1-0 Morecambe
Port Vale may have lost their last two games, but they have won their previous two home matches, and we think that they will claim a narrow victory when they face a Morecambe side, who have failed to win any of their last 10 games in all competitions.

Wycombe vs. Bristol Rovers (Monday, 3.00pm)
© Reuters
Two sides separated by a single point in the fight for playoff places in the League One table will do battle on Boxing Day, as Wycombe Wanderers welcome Bristol Rovers to Adams Park.
The teams each boast two wins and a draw from their last three matches, putting the hosts seventh, two points outside of the top six, while their visitors are just one point worse off in ninth spot.
We say: Wycombe Wanderers 1-1 Bristol Rovers
The two sides are both in impressive runs of form and will come into the game with confidence, and we put them on a very level playing field.
While Wycombe do boast home advantage, Barton's side have been impressive in tough fixtures in recent weeks, and we see a share of the spoils as the most likely outcome at Adams Park.
