League One stats and tips
Burton v Port Vale - Win / Draw / Win - away win
It's never easy to end a losing run, but that's exactly what must be done by Burton Albion boss M. Paterson on Saturday. His players face Port Vale having been beaten in each of their last 3 League One games.
Carlisle v Stevenage - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Losing streaks can be incredibly difficult to break, but that's the task facing Carlisle United boss Paul Simpson on Saturday. His players face Stevenage having failed to get anything but defeat out of their last 4 League One games.
Northampton v Derby - Double Chance - away win or draw
Following your football club can be a tough old business, and Northampton Town’s dogged old follows know that feeling especially well at the moment. Their team, led by Jon Brady, has not won any of their last 5 League One matches, and there will be little hope they can end that run against Derby County at Sixfields Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Backing opposition boss Paul Warne to extend the run by inspiring his team to either a win or draw can be bet on at top odds of 1.18.
Barnsley v Cambridge - Double Chance - home win or draw
Being a football fan can be a thankless task, and Cambridge United’s hardy follows know that feeling especially well at the moment. Their team, led by G. Monk, has not won any of their last 7 League One matches, and there will be little hope they can end that run against Barnsley at Oakwell on Friday afternoon. Backing opposition manager Neill Collins to extend the run by inspiring his team to either a win or draw is available at top odds of 1.14.
Exeter v Charlton - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Charlton Athletic have dominated Exeter City in the League One in recent years, with their streak now extending to 5 straight wins against them. G. Caldwell will be hoping for a change in fortunes, while Nathan Jones will be hopeful of more of the same on Friday afternoon.
Fleetwood v Cheltenham - Double Chance - home win or draw
It has been a dreadful set of results for Cheltenham Town and their fans, with their last League One victory now coming 6 matches ago. Boss Darrell Clarke has to find a way out, and sooner rather than later. Will Fleetwood Town at Highbury Stadium on Friday be the one in which they turn it around?
Lincoln v L Orient - Half Time / Full Time - home / home
Those that favour the half time/full time market should pay attention to Lincoln City. M. Skubala's side has been impressively dominant in recent League One games, holding the lead at half time in each of their last 3 and going on to win them all at FT. Leyton Orient on Friday afternoon could well be more of the same.
Peterborough v Carlisle - Half Time / Full Time - home+home
Carlisle United will be looking to avoid adding to the 14 games they have already been behind in at both HT and FT this term when they play Peterborough United on Friday. Paul Simpson's team already lead the rest of League One in that area, and won't want to make their record any worse. Opposing boss D. Ferguson , on the other hand, will be feeling very differently.
Reading v Northampton - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
Reading's recent League One games have been brimming with goalmouth drama. Each of their last 5 have had over 2.5 goals, and Friday against Northampton Town could well deliver more of the same. Fans of both sides will be hoping that R. Sellés Salvador and Jon Brady send their teams out to go for glory.
Shrewsbury v Oxford Utd - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
If you're looking for some proper entertainment on Friday afternoon, then the clash between Oxford United and Shrewsbury Town could be worth checking out. Des Buckingham's team lead League One in most matches with over 2.5 goals so far this season. 26 of their League One games have already gone that way. With form like that, surely only an entirely negative game plan from Paul Hurst's men could keep the score down.
Wigan v Burton - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw
It may not be an honour they're especially proud of, but Burton Albion currently lead all opposition in League One when it comes to matches where they've been drawing at both HT and FT this campaign, with their tally now at 8 in 38 outings. They will put that unwanted consistency on the line versus Wigan Athletic at DW Stadium on Friday, in a game that could see yet another dead heat.
Wycombe v Portsmouth - Double Chance - away win or draw
J. Mousinho and his Portsmouth side have gained a handy way of claiming something from pretty much every League One match they play. They're unbeaten in 12 in League One now, so M. Bloomfield and his Wycombe Wanderers side will have their work cut out if they're to get the win at Adams Park on Friday.
Peterborough v Port Vale - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
Expect entertainment, excitement and plenty of goalmouth action when Peterborough United and Port Vale face off on Tuesday evening in League One. D. Ferguson and A. Crosby's squads have ample talent in attacking areas, and our smart tipsters are backing them to show that at ABAX Stadium. 14 of them have saved a bet the match to contain over 2.5 goals during the 90 mins. 1.67 is the highest price among the UK's top bookmakers for this bet, and it's definitely one we like the look for too.
