This week classic pools fixtures 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.

17 – Mansfield vs Wigan
While Wigan’s home advantage and defensive record could play a role, Mansfield’s attacking prowess and resilience suggest a game that might end in a draw. Both teams will need to be at their best to secure points.
Mansfield Town, have shown they are no pushovers in the current campaign. Wigan Athletic, on the other hand, have had a more mixed season.

Head-to-Head:
Historically, these teams haven’t met frequently in recent times, with their last encounter in 2003. In their past meetings, Wigan has had the upper hand, but given the current form of both teams, this match promises to be closely contested. Mansfield has not beaten Wigan in away games for the last two matches when they last played head-to-head, but with their recent performance on the road, they have a chance to change that record.

18 – Middlesbro vs Blackburn
Middlesbrough’s current form and home advantage, they will be favored to reverse their fortunes against Blackburn. However, Blackburn’s knack for getting results against Middlesbrough in recent times could make this match an intriguing tactical battle.

Middlesbrough, have found form at the right time, however, their home record has been inconsistent, which will be a point of focus for the upcoming match. Blackburn Rovers, have had a rollercoaster season. After a fixture postponement, they come into this game fresh but with a need to regain momentum after a 1-0 loss to Middlesbrough in their last meeting, ending a run of draws. Blackburn’s away form has been less than stellar.

Head-to-Head:
Historically, Blackburn has had the upper hand over Middlesbrough, with Middlesbrough winless in their last 10 Championship meetings against Rovers. The most recent encounter in November 2024 ended in a 1-0 win for Blackburn, breaking a sequence of draws between the sides. Overall, in their last 44 matches, Blackburn has won 18, Middlesbrough 11, with 15 draws.

24 – Southampton vs Swansea
Southampton hosts Swansea City at St. Mary’s Stadium in what promises to be an intriguing Championship encounter, with both teams having their eyes on different ends of the league table.

Recent Form:
Southampton’s poor current form and home advantage, they are the favorites going into this match. However, Swansea’s desire to prove themselves under new management and their historical difficulty for Southampton could lead to an unpredictable game.

Head-to-Head:
Southampton has had the upper hand in recent meetings with Swansea. They’ve won the last five encounters, with their most recent meeting ending in a 5-0 victory for Southampton. Overall, in their last 21 matches, Southampton has 12 wins, Swansea 5, with 4 draws, painting a picture of Southampton’s dominance in this fixture.

25 – Sunderland vs Stoke
Sunderland will face off against Stoke City in an FA Cup Third Round match at the Stadium of Light, with both teams aiming for progression in this prestigious competition.

This FA Cup encounter at the Stadium of Light could go either way, with Sunderland looking to use their home advantage to break their winless streak, while Stoke will be eager to leverage their recent win against Sunderland as a confidence booster. The match will test Sunderland’s resilience to bounce back and Stoke’s ability to perform on the road. Both teams know well the significance of cup competitions for morale and could provide a stern test for each other.

The game is scheduled for January 11, 2025, and promises to be a tactical battle, with both teams potentially rotating squads but still aiming for the win. Given their head-to-head history, fans can expect a competitive game.

Head-to-Head:
Historically, these two sides have had some close encounters. In their last 31 meetings, both teams have won 12 times with 7 matches ending in draws. Notably, in their most recent clash in December 2024, Sunderland managed a 2-1 victory over Stoke at home, while Stoke won 1-0 in their last meeting at the bet365 Stadium.

39 – Hibernian vs Motherwell
This match presents an opportunity for Hibs to regain some ground at home and for Motherwell to continue their push for European football spots. Hibs will need to capitalize on their offensive talents like Martin Boyle and Elie Youan, while Motherwell’s defense, one of the league’s best, will be key in neutralizing Hibs’ attack. The tactical battle will be interesting, with Motherwell looking to exploit any defensive frailties in the Hibs backline.

The game is scheduled for January 11, 2025, and while Hibs have the home support, Motherwell’s recent dominance in this fixture might make this a closely contested affair. Both teams will be eager for the three points to either climb or maintain their league positions.

Head-to-Head:
In recent history, Hibs and Motherwell have had closely fought battles. Over the last 30 meetings, Hibs have won 12, Motherwell 9, with 9 draws. However, Motherwell has had the upper hand in their most recent encounters, winning their last match 3-0 and securing victory in four of the last six meetings. This gives Motherwell some psychological advantage, but Hibs have often risen to the occasion at Easter Road.
