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

A crucial clash at the top end of the League One table will take place at Oakwell on Saturday, as Plymouth Argyle travel to take on Barnsley.

The visitors currently sit second with a five-point lead over the chasing pack in the fight for automatic promotion, while their hosts find themselves fourth, 11 points behind their visitors, but with two games in hand.

We say: Barnsley 1-1 Plymouth Argyle


The two teams will be full of confidence given their recent results, and the hosts have shown that they are more than capable of mixing it at the top of League One in the last few months.

While we do not see them triumphing over Schumacher's men, we anticipate the Tykes at least forcing a share of the spoils on home turf.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Bolton vs. Ipswich (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Seeking to boost their hopes of promotion from League One, Bolton Wanderers play host to Ipswich Town at the University of Bolton Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

While the hosts are on the hunt to secure their sixth straight home victory in the third tier, the visitors are looking to claim back-to-back away league wins for the first time since the beginning of September.

We say: Bolton Wanderers 1-1 Ipswich Town


The momentum is with Ipswich heading into Saturday's contest, with their prolific form in attack and resilient performances at the back making then a real force to be reckoned with as they enter the final quarter of the campaign.

Bolton, meanwhile, have gone off the boil in recent weeks, but having put together an unbeaten run of 12 matches on home soil, the Trotters could frustrate the visitors in a closely-fought score draw.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Burton Albion vs. Wycombe (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Burton Albion take on Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday in a clash which carries huge implications at both ends of the League One table.

Burton head into the meeting two points clear of the relegation zone, while Wycombe are four points off the playoff places with a game in hand on sixth-placed Derby County.

We say: Burton Albion 0-2 Wycombe Wanderers


Wycombe will have gained plenty of confidence from their victory against Fleetwood in midweek, and we can envisage that being a springboard for Bloomfield's side mounting a serious push to finish within the playoff spots.

Burton have been relatively tough to beat on their home patch in recent months, but there is little doubt that the visitors possess more individual quality and should be targeting three points.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Charlton vs. Accrington (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Charlton Athletic will be aiming to move back into the top half of League One's table by beating Accrington Stanley on Saturday.

The visitors, meanwhile, require a win to be certain of remaining outside of the relegation zone.

We say: Charlton Athletic 2-1 Accrington Stanley


Having had an unforgiving fixture schedule in recent weeks, Charlton will fancy their chances of returning to winning ways against inferior opposition on Saturday.

Accrington have had plenty of injury and suspension issues in recent weeks, with the red card shown to their first-choice goalkeeper in midweek another blow to add to the list. They will fight hard as always under Coleman, but may fall short in the end.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Exeter vs. Lincoln (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Exeter City and Lincoln City are both seeking to bounce back from draws when they meet at St James Park on Saturday afternoon in League One action.

The hosts are looking to make it three games unbeaten here, while the visitors are unbeaten in all competitions since January 10.

We say: Exeter City 1-1 Lincoln City


Lincoln's unbeaten run suggests they are hard to beat, so we think they will have enough quality to earn a point on Saturday.

There is not a lot to split the two teams, and the last two meetings between the sides have also resulted in a draw.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Fleetwood vs. Port Vale (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Fleetwood Town will be aiming to end a winless run of three games across all competitions when they host Port Vale at Highbury Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The visitors, meanwhile, will be looking to make it back-to-back wins for the first time since December when they make the trip to Lancashire.

We say: Fleetwood Town 1-0 Port Vale


Both sides have struggled for form lately, so we think this will be a closely-fought contest.

However, Port Vale have lost their last three matches on their travels, so we think Fleetwood will have enough quality to edge this match.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Forest Green vs. Bristol Rovers (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Relegation favourites Forest Green Rovers face Bristol Rovers at The New Lawn in League One on Saturday in a crucial fixture for the hosts.

Duncan Ferguson is yet to win since arriving as manager, and time is running out for last season's League Two champions to avoid the drop.

We say: Forest Green Rovers 0-1 Bristol Rovers


The hosts are in dire need of a win as the gap between themselves and safety already looks close to unassailable.

Bristol Rovers will hope their improved defence can help them towards three points on the road here.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

MK Dons vs. Cambridge (Saturday, 3.00pm)

It is a relegation six-pointer in League One on Saturday when MK Dons welcome Cambridge United to Stadium MK.

The Dons lost their last league game, falling 1-0 to Port Vale last Saturday, and Cambridge played out a 1-1 draw with Morecambe at Abbey Stadium.

We say: MK Dons 0-0 Cambridge United


MK Dons have scored one goal in their last five games at Stadium MK, while Cambridge have netted once in their recent seven fixtures on the road.

A goalless encounter could be in the offing for these out-of-form sides.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Oxford Utd vs. Derby (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Oxford United will attempt to end a nine-game winless run when they welcome Derby County to the Kassam Stadium on Saturday.

The visitors, meanwhile, will be looking to return to winning ways after picking up just one point from their last two matches.

We say: Oxford United 0-2 Derby County


Although Derby's form has tailed off in recent weeks, we think they will prove to be too strong for an Oxford side who have lost eight of their last nine matches.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Peterborough vs. Cheltenham (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Peterborough United will attempt to claim a second straight victory when they face Cheltenham Town at the Weston Homes Stadium on Saturday.

After picking up four points from their last two matches, Cheltenham will be looking to avoid defeat for a third consecutive game.

We say: Peterborough United 2-1 Cheltenham Town


Cheltenham have shown signs of promise in their last two home games, but their form on the road has proven to be a different story.

Having lost six of their last seven away league matches, we think the Robins will be edged out by a Peterborough side who have won three of their previous five home games.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Portsmouth vs. Sheff Weds (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Currently sitting in a strong position at the top of the League One table, Sheffield Wednesday will look to take another big step towards automatic promotion on Saturday, when they make the long trip to Fratton Park to take on Portsmouth.

The Owls currently sit level on points with second-placed Plymouth and five ahead of third-placed Ipswich Town, with two games in hand on both, while their hosts' slim playoff hopes took a major on Tuesday at the hands of Barnsley.

We say: Portsmouth 1-2 Sheffield Wednesday


Saturday's trip is certainly not a straightforward one for the League One leaders, as they meet a resurgent Portsmouth outfit, but Darren Moore's side will be full of confidence and certainly have momentum on their side, and we can envisage them returning to South Yorkshire with another victory in their increasingly more impressive season.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Shrewsbury vs. Morecambe (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Morecambe will be looking to enhance their chances of League One survival when they face Shrewsbury Town at New Meadow on Saturday afternoon.

Having claimed a solitary victory in their last eight games, Morecambe find themselves one point inside the relegation zone, while Shrewsbury sit nine points shy of the top six following a run of seven wins in 11 outings.

We say: Shrewsbury Town 3-1 Morecambe


Given Morecambe's struggles on the road, this clash provides playoff-chasing Shrewsbury Town with the ideal opportunity to return to winning ways.

The Shrews have netted at least two goals in each of their previous nine home league wins, putting them in a strong position to notch another high-scoring victory at New Meadow.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
