Stevenage preview: Bright start to the season
Alex Revell’s Stevenage have made a flying start to the 2025-26 campaign, carrying strong momentum into this clash with six wins from eight games across all competitions.
The Boro responded impressively to a setback against Huddersfield Town, edging Wycombe Wanderers 1-0 at the Lamex Stadium in the league before dismantling Wimbledon 5-1 in the EFL Trophy last time out.
Now sitting second in League One with 15 points, Revell’s men look well-placed to surpass last season’s 14th-placed finish and continue their rise as one of the division’s surprise packages.
Predicted lineup: Ashby-Hammond (GK), Pattenden, Sweeney, Freestone, Butler, Phillips, White, Campbell, Kemp, Patterson & Reid

Barnsley Preview: Looking to build on solid start to the campaign
Barnsley head into Saturday’s League One clash looking to extend their winning run to three matches in all competitions.
The Reds have started strongly, recording four wins and a draw from six league games, with their only setback so far coming against Wimbledon.
Just two points and two places behind Stevenage, Barnsley can take confidence from their bright opening to the season.
However, with a poor record against the hosts, they will be eager to end that streak and lay down a marker, both for this campaign and their head-to-head against Stevenage.
Predicted lineup: Cooper (GK), Watson, De Gevigney, Shepherd, Earl, Russell, Connell, Vickers, Phillips, Keillor-Dunn & McGoldrick
