Saturday's League One predictions including Sunderland vs. Doncaster

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's League One fixtures, including Sunderland vs. Doncaster.

Following the departure of manager Lee Johnson, Sunderland will look to bounce back from a 6-0 thrashing when they return to action with a home clash against Doncaster Rovers on Saturday.

The two sides sit at opposite ends of the League One table, with the hosts sat third and their visitors rooted to the foot of the division.

We say: Sunderland 3-1 Doncaster Rovers


Sunderland will hope that the removal of Johnson will bring about a fresh start after their thrashing last weekend, and we expect them to bounce back with a victory on Saturday.

Both sides will look to rebound from damning defeats, but the Black Cats boast the stronger squad, and, with home advantage, they should cruise past the basement side.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Ipswich vs. Gillingham (Saturday, 3.00pm)

After losing at home last weekend, Ipswich Town find themselves in ninth position in League One, and they will be looking for a positive response when they welcome Gillingham to Portman Road on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Neil Harris began his reign as Gills manager in impressive fashion as his side edged out Crewe Alexandra in midweek, and they now have the chance to claim back-to-back victories for the first time this season.

We say: Ipswich Town 3-1 Gillingham


Although the Gills will be buoyed by the midweek win, we think that they will struggle to compete with an Ipswich side that is stacked with quality, especially as the Tractors Boys usually fare well at Portman Road.

Charlton vs. AFC Wimbledon (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Charlton Athletic will welcome AFC Wimbledon to The Valley on Saturday and the hosts enter the contest in a buoyant mood after picking up seven points from their last three League One games.

As for the visitors, they will be looking to end a ten-game winless run in all competitions, which has left them in a lowly 20th position.

We say: Charlton Athletic 2-1 AFC Wimbledon


Although we expect the encounter to be closely contested, the momentum is with Charlton after collecting seven points from their previous three league games, and we believe that Jackson's troops have enough quality to edge out the visitors on Saturday.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

MK Dons vs. Lincoln (Saturday, 3.00pm)

With the automatic promotion places within touching distance, MK Dons will be keen to continue their strong run of form when Lincoln City make the journey to Stadium MK on Saturday afternoon.

Still without their League One status secured, Lincoln can ill-afford any more slip-ups, with this weekend's clash teetering on a must-win for either side.

We say: MK Dons 2-0 Lincoln City


MK Dons are the side in the ascendancy heading into the clash and will be confident that their home support can take them to yet another victory.

Expect the hosts to achieve a simple win against a Lincoln side in danger of being dragged further and further into a relegation scrap.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Rotherham vs. Accrington (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Entering the weekend on top of the League One table, an immediate return to the Championship is beginning to look like a real possibility for Rotherham United, who will be extremely confident of a comfortable victory at home to Accrington Stanley this Saturday.

Floating around in mid-table, there is little chance that Accrington will be able to sustain a playoff push, with their targets for the remainder of the season focusing on achieving a top-half finish.

We say: Rotherham United 3-0 Accrington Stanley


Rotherham are in fine form of late and have seemingly shaken off any wobbles that they may have had after the previous defeat to Accrington.

Expect the Millers to avenge December's loss with a comfortable and eye-catching performance at the New York Stadium this weekend.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Oxford Utd vs. Portsmouth (Saturday, 3.00pm)

You would have been forgiven for thinking at the beginning of the season that this clash could have been crucial in the League One playoff race, but due to Portsmouth's woeful form of late, it looks like they may have already fallen out the running.

Sitting a lengthy 12 points behind the top six, Oxford United will be keen to take advantage of Portsmouth's woes and pick up another three points in their own playoff bid this weekend.

We say: Oxford United 2-1 Portsmouth


Portsmouth only have themselves to blame for not being in the playoff mix, with Saturday's clash against sixth-placed Oxford well and truly a must-win if they harbour any remaining hopes of promotion.

Oxford will be confident of extending their impressive run of form, with a home victory the most likely scenario this weekend.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Shrewsbury vs. Fleetwood (Saturday, 3.00pm)

With just two points and two places separating the sides in the League One table, Shrewsbury Town and Fleetwood Town will do battle at New Meadow on Saturday.

Having both drawn their last two outings, the hosts sit 17th in England's third tier while their visitors occupy 19th place, two points worse off with a game in hand.

We say: Shrewsbury Town 1-1 Fleetwood Town


While Shrewsbury picked up a dominant 3-0 win in the reverse fixture, we see this being a far tighter affair, with two sides desperate to climb away from the bottom end of the division.

On this occasion, we cannot quite split the teams who are both looking to end brief winless runs, with their efforts likely to cancel one another out in a tense battle.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Burton Albion vs. Sheff Weds (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Sheffield Wednesday will aim to collect a third consecutive victory when they travel to the Pirelli Stadium for a League One clash with Burton Albion.

The Brewers, who sit in 10th position, have also fared well of late after picking up 11 points from their last six league games.

We say: Burton Albion 2-2 Sheffield Wednesday


Saturday's contest represents the first meeting between the two sides since January 2018, and with the teams separated by just two places in the league, we think that they could cancel each other out.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Morecambe vs. Bolton (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two sides who could hardly be in any more contrasting form heading into Saturday's clash, high-flying Bolton Wanderers will travel to fellow-Lancashire outfit Morecambe with the hosts in the midst of a relegation scrap.

Points is the only currency that will prevent the Shrimps from suffering an immediate return to the fourth tier, with time running out for Morecambe to save their League One status.

We say: Morecambe 0-2 Bolton Wanderers


Right now, it is difficult to see where Bolton's next defeat is coming from, such is the confidence that Evatt's side are playing with.

A Lancashire derby could provide a headache for the Whites, but it is unlikely that Morecambe will have enough to take anything off Bolton this weekend.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.
