ADO Den Haag sits top of the Eerste Divisie with a commanding +38 goal difference and 19 points clear of sixth-placed Willem II. The visitors crushed Willem II 5-1 in August and arrive on a high after consecutive 3-0 victories. With superior quality and momentum, ADO Den Haag should secure at least a point, making them the clear selection.
Salford City sit 8th in the playoff hunt and hold a psychological edge having beaten Shrewsbury twice this season, including a 3-1 away win in September. Despite three recent defeats, two were against superior opposition. At home, their attacking firepower should overcome a Shrewsbury side struggling in 18th place.
Barnet edges this tight mid-table clash having won the reverse fixture 2-0 and sitting one point above Accrington. With both sides navigating a congested February schedule, the Bees’ slightly superior consistency and head-to-head advantage justifies marginal favoritism, though the Wham Stadium fixture promises to be closely contested.
Huachipato trail 1-0 but return to the CAP Acero with urgency and home dominance. Carabobo face travel fatigue and the key suspension of left-back Juan Pérez, leaving them vulnerable at the back. The Chilean side has shown positive domestic form and possesses the attacking depth to break down a defensive Venezuelan outfit and overturn the deficit.
Southampton enters in excellent form with four wins and a draw in their last five, while QPR struggles with mixed results and a lengthy injury list including key attackers Burrell, Poku, and Dembélé. The Saints have won the last five meetings between these sides and hold a significant quality advantage at St. Mary's Stadium.
This relegation six-pointer favors Northampton despite defensive injury doubts. Port Vale sit bottom with just one league win in recent fixtures and suffer from travel fatigue. The Cobblers hold a superior head-to-head record at Sixfields and need the points to pull further clear of the drop zone, giving them the edge in a tense basement battle.
Burton faces a severe injury crisis with top scorers Rumarn Burrell and Jón Bödvarsson listed doubtful, while defensive anchor Terence Vancooten is suspended. Stockport County arrive with superior squad depth and renewed momentum, having taken seven points from their last three road games. The visitors' organized pressing and attacking quality should exploit Burton's depleted lineup at the Pirelli Stadium.
Bradford City are priced as firm home favorites at Valley Parade, with the market reflecting significant confidence in their superiority over Rotherham United. However, without verified access to current form, injury updates, or exact league standings for this 2025-26 fixture, this selection relies purely on market consensus and traditional home advantage. The short price offers limited value given the data gaps, warranting caution despite the implied probability.
