EFL League One predictions

League One stats and tips

Reading v Luton - Double Chance - away win or draw

Reading have consistently struggled against Luton Town in the League One in recent years. The two teams have met on 5 occasions since 2021, and Luton Town have remained unbeaten in them all. Thursday's game at Madejski Stadium could be another hard one for L. Richardson & co.

Northampton v AFC Wim - Over / Under 5.5 Goals - over

AFC Wimbledon have been League One's entertainers this term, at least in terms of producing goal-filled matches. No other side comes close to their record of having played in 1 games with at least 6 goals scored this campaign. Can they bring their tally to 2 when they take on Northampton Town on Friday evening? With odds of 23.00 available, it might be worth a go.

Doncaster v Plymouth - Half Time / Full Time - home+home

Plymouth Argyle will be hoping not to add to the 8 times they have already been losing at both HT and FT this campaign when they face Doncaster Rovers on Saturday. T. Cleverley's team already lead the rest of League One in that category, and won't want to make their record any worse. Opposing boss G. McCann , on the other hand, will be feeling very differently.

Exeter v Barnsley - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring matches aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Exeter City have had plenty of opportunity to test that theory this campaign. 13 of their side's encounters in League One have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will C. Hourihane and his Barnsley team be capable of adding some goals into this encounter on Saturday? Or will it be same old same old?

L Orient v Bradford - Both Teams To Score - yes

Supporters at Matchroom Stadium may be fully expecting plenty goalmouth action on Saturday, and with good reason if Bradford City's past record is to be continued. There have been a goal in both nets in 12 of their 19 League One matches this season, more than any side in the competition.

Lincoln v Cardiff - Half Time / Full Time - home+home

B. Barry-Murphy won't be looking forward to the prospect of playing Lincoln City in League One on Saturday. M. Skubala's side have been winning at halftime and gone on to secure the win at final whistle more frequently than any other side in the League One this term - 9 times in total. That stat suggests it may be a difficult afternoon for Cardiff City, and that backing Lincoln City in the halftime fulltime market would be a strong bet at odds of 4.00.

Mansfield v Stockport - Double Chance - home win or draw

Stockport County have found something of a bogey team in Mansfield Town in the league in recent years. The two clubs have clashed on 6 occasions since 2022, and Mansfield Town have been unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at One Call Stadium could be another hard one for D. Challinor & co.

Port Vale v Peterborough - Win / Draw / Win - away win

Peterborough United have dominated Port Vale in the League One in recent years, with their streak now extending to 5 straight wins against them. D. Moore will be doing all he can to turn the tide, while L. Williams will be hopeful of more of the same on Saturday afternoon.

Rotherham v Huddersfield - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

If you fancy a thriller on Saturday afternoon, then the clash between Huddersfield Town and Rotherham United could be the one for you. G. Lee's team lead League One in most matches with at least 3 goals scored so far this season. 13 of their League One games have already gone that way. With a record like that, surely only a parking of the bus from M. Hamshaw's men could ruin the spectacle.

Huddersfield v Port Vale - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like putting your money on goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming match between Huddersfield Town and Port Vale might well be the one for you. G. Lee's side have lost 7 games this campaign in which both clubs have scored. 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.

Stevenage v Bolton - Double Chance - away win or draw

Stevenage have consistently struggled against Bolton Wanderers in the league in recent years. The two teams have played on 6 occasions since 2020, and Bolton Wanderers have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Lamex Stadium could be another hard one for A. Revell & co.

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.
