This week classic pools fixtures for UK 2025/2026 season, should see some close ties at both ends of the table across various leagues. Local pride will be at stake across most fixtures with what should be entertaining matches this weekend. We’ve looked through the fixtures and provided head-to-head statistics for five matches we think have the potential to end in a draw.
8 – Hungary vs Republic of Ireland
Hungary host the Republic of Ireland in a pivotal World Cup qualifiers clash that could define both teams’ promotion hopes. With just one point separating the sides after four matchdays, a draw would suit neither, yet history and current form suggest a stalemate is the most likely outcome.
The Magyars sit 2nd on 5 points, while Ireland are 3rd on 4 points. A win for Hungary would all but seal top spot; a victory for the Boys in Green would leapfrog them into pole position. But with both sides boasting water-tight defenses and a long history of cagey encounters, expect another low-scoring, tactical chess match.
Key Head-to-Head Stats
– 4 of the last 6 meetings ended in draws (67%)
– 3 of the last 4 were goalless at HT
– Under 2.5 goals in 5 of 6 (83%)
– Only one home win in the series (Ireland, 1989)
This has 0-0 written all over it. Both managers prioritize structure over flair. Ireland’s away resilience (no losses in 2025) meets Hungary’s home stubbornness.
15 – Slovenia vs Kosovo
Two of the most draw happy teams in League B lock horns in Ljubljana, where Slovenia and Kosovo meet in a match that screams 0-0 or 1-1. With both sides on 3 and 7 points after four games, a point apiece would keep the promotion race wide open and neither will be in a hurry to lose.
Slovenia sit 3rd, Kosovo 2nd. A draw would suit both, especially with group leaders Switzerland (10 pts) facing a tricky home fixture. Expect caution, compactness, and another low-scoring thriller.
Key Head-to-Head Stats
– 3 of the last 5 ended in draws (60%)
– Under 2.5 goals in ALL 5 (100%)
– Both teams scored in 4 of 5
– Only 1 home win in the series (Slovenia, 2018)
This is peak WCQ deadlock. Both managers are tactically disciplined, and neither can afford a loss. Slovenia’s home solidity meets Kosovo’s away resilience with most likely scoreline Slovenia 1-1 Kosovo.
23 – Gillingham vs Crawley Town
Kent’s fiercest League Two rivalry reignites at Priestfield, where Gillingham welcome local foes Crawley Town in a clash that could spark fireworks or fizzle into another frustrating draw. With both sides scrapping in the lower half of the table, points are precious, but history points to a tight, low-scoring affair where neither wants to blink first.
The Gills languish in 7th on 25 points, while Crawley hover in 19th on 15 points. A win for either would breathe life into their survival bids, but with Gillingham winless in seven and Crawley drawing three of their last five, this screams mid-table mediocrity and a potential point apiece.
Key Head-to-Head Stats
-3 of the last 5 ended in draws (60%)
– Under 2.5 goals in ALL 5 (100%)
– Both teams scored in 4 of 5
– Only 1 home win in the series (Slovenia, 2018)
Draw specialists collide in a derby defined by caution. Gillingham’s home resilience meets Crawley’s away stubbornness expect a cagey contest with few chances. No Ainsworth on the sidelines tilts it towards parity. Most likely scoreline: Gillingham 1-1 Crawley Town.
31 – Alloa Athletic vs Inverness Caledonian Thistle
Mid-table Championship rivals Alloa Athletic and Inverness Caledonian Thistle collide in the Scottish league two, a fixture ripe for extravagant drama or, more likely, another gritty draw between two defensively minded outfits. With both sides eyeing a morale-boosting run amid indifferent league form, neither will rush to open up, setting the stage for a low-scoring stalemate at Indodrill.
Alloa sit 2nd in the Championship on 23 points, while Inverness top the gropu in 1st on 26 points. A cup progression would provide respite, but recent head-to-heads and shared tactical pragmatism suggest parity is the watchword in this early knockout clash.
Key Head-to-Head Record Stats
– 2 of the last 5 ended in draws (40%) — the most recent a tense 1-1.
– Under 2.5 goals in 3 of 5 (60%)
– Alloa unbeaten in last 2 home H2H (1W-1D)
– Overall: Inverness edge 12-8 with 6 draws in 26 meetings, but Alloa have won 3 of the last 6.
The ties between equals often deliver nail-biting draws, and this has all the hallmarks: familiar foes, shared frailties, and managers opting for safety first. Alloa’s home edge meets Inverness’s road stubbornness. Most likely scoreline: Alloa 1-1 Inverness CT.
33 – East Fife vs Stenhousemuir
League Two promotion hopefuls East Fife host Stenhousemuir in the Scottish league two showdown that promises intense rivalry and defensive doggedness. With both sides neck-and-neck in the league table, a deep run would boost morale, but their shared history of mutual respect and draws points to another cagey, low-scoring battle at Bayview.
East Fife hold 6th place on 19 points, chasing playoffs, while Stenhousemuir sit 3rd on 23 points, pushing for automatic promotion. The Fifers’ home form has been solid (unbeaten in 4), but Stenhousemuir’s away resilience (just 1 loss) could force a replay or a shared point in 90 minutes.
Key Head-to-Head Stats
– 2 of the last 5 ended in draws (40%) — including a recent 1-1 at Bayview.
– Under 2.5 goals in 2 of 5 (40%), but high drama with both teams scoring in 80%.
– East Fife unbeaten in last 2 home H2H (1W-1D)
– Overall: Balanced series with 8 wins apiece and 8 draws in 24 meetings; Stenhousemuir edge recent form.
A classic League One tie between promotion chasers: East Fife’s home grit vs Stenhousemuir’s league-leading defense. Managers will prioritize progression over risks, likely leading to stalemate city. Most likely scoreline: East Fife 1-1 Stenhousemuir.
