League One stats and tips
AFC Wim v Bolton - Double Chance - away win or draw
AFC Wimbledon have consistently struggled against Bolton Wanderers in the League One in recent years. The two teams have played on 7 occasions since 2016, and Bolton Wanderers have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Cherry Red Records Stadium could be a really difficult one for J. Jackson & co.
Bradford v Doncaster - Both Teams To Score - yes
When Bradford City and Doncaster Rovers have met in the league, goals have been the order of the day. Both teams have found the net in each of their last 5 meetings, so the Northern Commercials Stadium crowd could be in for another thriller on Saturday lunch time.
Northampton v Reading - Both Teams To Score - yes
Supporters at Sixfields Stadium will be anticipating action at both ends on Saturday, and with good reason if Reading's recent record is to be continued. We've seen BTTS in 18 of their 27 League One matches this season, the largest number in the competition.
Barnsley v Stevenage - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw
It may not be an honour they're all that proud of, but Stevenage currently lead all other teams in League One when it comes to matches drawn at both HT and FT this term, with their tally now at 8 in 27 outings. They will put that somewhat unwelcome consistency to the test against Barnsley at Oakwell on Saturday, in a game that could see yet another dead heat.
Exeter v Rotherham - Both Teams To Score - no
Going on form alone, we can predict at least one side to keep a clean sheet at St James Park on Saturday, as G. Caldwell and M. Hamshaw's sides clash. Exeter City have had the highest number of fixtures where one team or more has failed to score (i.e. BTTS no) in League One so far this campaign - 17 out of 27 played. Both gaffers will just be praying it isn't their them that fails to register.
L Orient v Port Vale - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
If you fancy a thriller on Saturday afternoon, then the clash between Leyton Orient and Port Vale could be the one for you. R. Wellens's team lead League One in most matches with at least 3 goals scored so far this season. 18 of their League One games have already gone that way. With form like that, surely only a parking of the bus from D. Moore's men could prevent more of the same.
Luton v Blackpool - Double Chance - home win or draw
Blackpool have consistently struggled against Luton Town in the league in recent years. The two sides have played on 8 occasions since 2017, and Luton Town have been unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Kenilworth Road could be another hard one for I. Evatt & co.
Peterborough v Huddersfield - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
Peterborough United will be looking to avoid adding to the 9 matches they have already been losing at both HT and FT this campaign when they play Huddersfield Town on Saturday. L. Williams's side already top the rest of League One in that category, and won't want to make it any worse. Opposing boss G. Lee , on the other hand, will be feeling very differently.
Wigan v Lincoln - Double Chance - home win or draw
Lincoln City simply have not been able to find a way past Wigan Athletic in the League One in recent years. The two teams have played on 6 occasions since 2022, and Wigan Athletic have been unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at DW Stadium could be a really difficult one for M. Skubala & co.
Barnsley v Northampton - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - under
Fans travelling to Oakwell this Tuesday to watch Northampton Town and Barnsley might already be worrying about a boring evening, and who could blame them? K. Nolan's men have been involved in 4 matches with under 0.5 goals this season, more than any team in League One. Will either side find the net? Bet against it at top odds of 10.00.
Burton v Doncaster - Over / Under 5.5 Goals - over
Doncaster Rovers have been League One's showmen this term, at least in when it comes to producing goal-filled fixtures. No other club comes close to their record of having been involved in 4 six-goal thrillers this campaign. Can they make it 5 when they face Burton Albion on Tuesday evening? With odds of 13.00 available, it might be worth backing.
Huddersfield v Blackpool - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like tipping goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming game between Huddersfield Town and Blackpool might well warrant a closer look. G. Lee's side have lost 8 games this campaign in which both sides have found the net. That's a record in League One.
Mansfield v Peterborough - Over / Under 3.5 Goals - under
Supporters have seen 3 goals or less in all of Mansfield Town's last 10 League One outings. As they go head to head with L. Williams's Peterborough United at One Call Stadium on Saturday, the smart money will be backing more of the same.
Wigan v Reading - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Wigan Athletic have taken part in some low-scoring matches in League One recently. There have been under 2.5 goals in each of R. Lowe's side's last 6 outings and, with L. Richardson and his Reading ahead on Saturday afternoon, their strikers really should be putting in some extra work on the training ground.
Bradford v Rotherham - Win / Draw / Win - home win
The home win is far and away the most popular bet among KickOff's tipsters as Bradford City and Rotherham United clash in League One on Saturday. A total of 76 have backed it already, with top odds of 1.65 catching their eye.
Exeter v Burton - Double Chance - away win or draw
Claiming at least a draw away from home is no mean feat but, according to KO's tipsters that's exactly what G. Bowyer's players will do when they take on Exeter City on Saturday at St James Park. 15 are backing them in the double chance market from G. Caldwell's side
Rotherham v Mansfield - Win / Draw / Win - away win
It's never easy to end a losing run, but that's the task facing Rotherham United boss M. Hamshaw on Sunday. His team faces Mansfield Town having been beaten in each of their last 6 League One matches.
Exeter v Lincoln - Win / Draw / Win - home win
A simple tally suggests our tipsters have a great deal of belief in G. Caldwell and his ability to deliver a win for Exeter City on Saturday afternoon. 6 have bet on him to inspire his lads to emerge victorious from their encounter with Lincoln City. Hopefully the home boss doesn't let them down.
Mansfield v Reading - Double Chance - away win or draw
A satisfyingly long time has passed since Reading’s merry fans watched their side lose in League One. L. Richardson’s men are now unbeaten in 5 matches, and he'll be hopeful that they can keep that streak running against Mansfield Town at One Call Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Best odds of 1.48 can be grabbed to back Reading to avoid defeat yet again.
Port Vale v Bradford - Double Chance - away win or draw
Claiming at least a draw on the road is no mean feat but, according to our tipsters that's exactly what G. Alexander's men will do when they square off against Port Vale on Tuesday at Vale Park. 10 are backing them to draw or win from D. Moore's men
Stevenage v L Orient - Win / Draw / Win - home win
A home win seems to be the most popular pick among the wise and well-informed members of KickOff as Stevenage and Leyton Orient clash in League One on Sunday. In total 9 have saved that bet on the site, with largest odds of 2.15 proving to be enticing enough for many.
AFC Wim v Stockport - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
We all love a game in which more than 4 goals fly in, but Stockport County's dedicated supporters have now waited 8 matches to watch their team deliver one. A frustrating statistic in anyone's book. Will that much-needed goal-fest finally come around on Saturday afternoon, as they face J. Jackson's AFC Wimbledon at Cherry Red Records Stadium? With odds of 1.07 on there being under 4.5 goals, the bookmakers certainly don’t think so.
Port Vale v Barnsley - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
Tipsters and fans alike will be praying for a deluge of goals when Port Vale and Barnsley go head-to-head on Sunday afternoon in League One. D. Moore and C. Hourihane's squads are more than talented enough to score in this fixture, and KickOff's smart tipsters are backing them to show that at Vale Park. 8 of them are tipping there to be at least 3 goals in total. 1.95 is the most-enticing price in our betslip for their suggestion, and there will be a lot of happy faces around if it does deliver.
