3 – Coventry City vs Sunderland
Coventry City host Sunderland on Saturday in a battle between two newly-promoted sides desperate to climb out of the relegation zone.
Coventry sit 19th with six points from eight matches, having lost their opening four before a 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest in midweek. The Sky Blues have been leaky at home. Sunderland are 20th with four points, winless in their last four league matches including a 3-5 defeat to Manchester City.
Head-to-Head Record
Coventry hold a commanding historical advantage with 13 wins to Sunderland’s 9 across 38 meetings, with 16 draws. More strikingly, Sunderland are winless in their last 11 league visits to Coventry (D5 L6), with their last away win coming in 1985. Coventry won the most recent meeting 3-0 in March 2025.
Both sides are desperate for points, but Coventry’s home advantage and Sunderland’s dismal record at the CBS Arena give the Sky Blues the edge. A tight, nervy contest is expected. Prediction: Coventry City 0-0 Sunderland
4 – Hull City vs Ipswich Town
Hull City host Ipswich Town on Saturday with both newly-promoted sides level on nine points, though the visitors arrive with a significant psychological edge in this fixture. The Tigers have been solid defensively at the MKM Stadium, conceding just 0.67 goals per home game, but their attacking output has dipped. However, the Tractor Boys have been leaky on the road, conceding 2.75 goals per away fixture.
Head-to-Head Record
Ipswich have dominated recent meetings, unbeaten in the last five against Hull (four wins, one draw). The most recent encounters both ended in Ipswich victories: a 1-0 win at Portman Road in March 2026 and a 2-0 win at the MKM Stadium in November 2025. Historically, Hull hold a 19-12 advantage across 43 meetings, but the recent trend strongly favours the visitors.
Ipswich’s recent dominance in this fixture and Hull’s injury crisis make the visitors slight favourites, despite their poor away defensive record. Hull’s home resilience should keep it tight, but Ipswich’s head-to-head momentum may prove decisive. Prediction: Hull City 2-2 Ipswich Town
11 – Millwall vs Derby County
Millwall host Derby County on Saturday with the Lions pushing for a play-off place and the Rams battling to climb off the bottom of the Championship table. Millwall sit 13th with 15 points from 12 matches, but their form has been inconsistent. The Lions have been stronger at home, though they have conceded in each of their last four matches. Derby County are 23rd with just seven points from 12 matches, having won only once all season.
Head-to-Head Record
Millwall hold a clear recent advantage in this fixture. The Lions are unbeaten in the last five meetings (three wins, two draws), including a 1-0 victory at The Den in March 2026. Across 20 recorded meetings in the FBref database, Millwall have nine wins to Derby’s four, with seven draws.
Millwall’s recent dominance in this fixture and Derby’s dismal season make the hosts clear favourites. The Rams have won just once in the league and are missing key personnel, while Millwall have shown enough at The Den to suggest they can claim the points. Prediction: Millwall 2-0 Derby County
25 – Colchester United vs Walsall
Colchester United host Walsall on Saturday with the two sides in contrasting form, though the hosts boast a strong recent record in this fixture.
Colchester sit 21st in League Two and are winless in their last six matches. The U’s have been far stronger at home. Walsall are sixth and unbeaten in their last 11 matches. The Saddlers boast the joint-best defensive record in League Two, conceding just seven goals all season.
Head-to-Head Record
Colchester are unbeaten in the last three meetings with Walsall, including a 1-1 draw at the JobServe Community Stadium in March 2026 and a 2-0 victory at the Bescot Stadium in November 2025. Historically, the fixture has been remarkably balanced: across 35 meetings, both sides have won 12 with 12 draws. At Colchester, Walsall have won just three of 18 visits.
Walsall’s unbeaten run and defensive solidity make them slight favourites, but Colchester’s strong home form and recent head-to-head dominance suggest a tight contest. The draw appears a likely outcome. Prediction: Colchester United 1-1 Walsall
26 – Crewe Alexandra vs Barnet
Crewe Alexandra host Barnet on Saturday with the hosts desperate to respond after a chastening week, while the Bees look to maintain their promotion push.
Crewe sit 4th in League Two with 21 points from 13 matches, but their unbeaten league start was shattered by a 5-1 thrashing at Chesterfield last weekend. The Alex had drawn three of their previous four before that collapse, where all five goals arrived in a disastrous first half. Barnet are in strong form, having won three of their last four league matches.
Head-to-Head Record
Barnet have dominated recent meetings, winning the last two encounters. The Bees claimed a 2-1 victory at Crewe in September 2025, and also won 1-1… actually, Barnet won 1-1? No—the record shows Barnet won 2-1 at Crewe in September 2025, while the February 2025 meeting at The Hive ended 1-1. Across the four recorded meetings since 2016, Barnet have two wins, one draw, and one loss.
Crewe’s home advantage and wounded pride make them dangerous, but Barnet’s recent head-to-head edge and Tshimanga’s goalscoring form give the Bees a real threat. The hosts should respond after the Chesterfield debacle, but a tight contest is likely. Prediction: Crewe Alexandra 1-1 Barnet
