League One stats and tips
Barnsley v Northampton - Both Teams To Score - yes
Barnsley supporters have come to expect entertainment at each end when their side plays in League One, with both sides having scored in each of their last 6 matches. Northampton Town on Saturday lunch time may well be another thriller.
Derby v Carlisle - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Evidentally a lot of our tipsters have a resounding belief in Paul Warne and his ability to deliver victory for Derby County on Saturday lunch time. 26 have backed him to propel his side to win against Carlisle United. Will he repay the trust placed in him? We'll know by the end of the 90.
Exeter v Oxford Utd - Double Chance - home win or draw
G. Caldwell and his Exeter City side have gained a handy way of claiming something from almost every League One match they play. They're unbeaten in 9 in League One now, so Des Buckingham and his Oxford United team will need to be on top of their game if they're going to get anything at St James Park on Saturday.
Fleetwood v Burton - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
Burton Albion's recent League One games have been packed with goalmouth action. Every one of their last 5 have had over 2.5 goals, and Saturday against Fleetwood Town may well provide more of the same. Here's hoping that M. Paterson and C. Adam send their lads out to attack.
Lincoln v Portsmouth - Both Teams To Score - yes
Portsmouth fans have become used to action at each end when their team plays in League One, with both teams having scored in all of their last 6 outings. Lincoln City on Saturday lunch time should be another thriller.
Peterborough v Bolton - Double Chance - away win or draw
Ian Evatt and his Bolton Wanderers team have found a handy way of claiming something from almost every League One game they play. They're unbeaten in 6 in League One now, so D. Ferguson and his Peterborough United charges will need to be on top of their game if they're going to get anything at ABAX Stadium on Saturday.
Port Vale v Cambridge - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Losing streaks can be incredibly difficult to break, but that's the task facing Port Vale boss Darren Moore on Saturday. His side face Cambridge United having been beaten in each of their last 4 League One games.
Reading v Blackpool - Half Time / Full Time - away / away
Fans of the half time/full time market should pay attention to Blackpool. Neil Critchley's side has been remarkably commanding in recent League One games, leading at HT in each of their last 4 and going on to win them all at FT. Reading on Saturday lunch time could well be more of the same.
Shrewsbury v L Orient - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Leyton Orient have dominated Shrewsbury Town in the League One in recent years, with a run of 5 straight wins against them. Paul Hurst will be desperate to stop the rot, while Richard Wellens will be expecting more of the same on Saturday lunch time.
Stevenage v Cheltenham - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
It's not exactly common to be treated to a 5+ goal thriller, but Cheltenham Town's long-suffering followers have now had to wait 14 matches to see their club take part in one. That’s too long by anyone’s count. Will that much-needed goal-fest finally come around on Saturday lunch time, as they face Steve Evans's Stevenage at Lamex Stadium? With odds of 1.08 on there being under 4.5 goals, the bookmakers certainly don’t think so.
Wigan v Bristol R - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
Wigan Athletic's recent matches in League One have delivered goals and thrills along the way, but it has been a while since Shaun Maloney's charges provided their supporters with a ding-dong battle with goals galore. There have been no more than 4 goals in every one of their last 9 outings.
Wycombe v Charlton - Double Chance - away win or draw
Nathan Jones and his Charlton Athletic team have developed a convenient knack of getting something from just about every League One game they play. They're unbeaten in 14 in League One now, so M. Bloomfield and his Wycombe Wanderers team will have their work cut out if they're to get the win at Adams Park on Saturday.
