EFL League One predictions

League One stats and tips

Wigan v L Orient - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring encounters aren't always boring, but fans of Wigan Athletic have had too many chances to test that theory this term. 26 of their side's encounters in League One have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will R. Wellens and his Leyton Orient team be able to inject spice into this clash on Thursday? Or will it be yet another low scoring affair?

Doncaster v Mansfield - Both Teams To Score - yes

When Doncaster Rovers and Mansfield Town have met in the league, goals have been the order of the day. Both teams have scored in each of their last 5 matches against one another, so the The Keepmoat Stadium faithful will be expecting another nail-biter on Friday lunch time.

Blackpool v Exeter - Half Time / Full Time - home+home

Exeter City will be looking to avoid adding to the 14 times they have already been losing at both halftime and fulltime this term when they play Blackpool on Friday. M. Taylor's side already top the rest of League One in that area, and won't want to make the situation any worse. Opposing boss I. Evatt will be licking his lips, however.

Bradford v Northampton - Win / Draw / Win - home win

Recent activity among our tipsters shows a number of them trust G. Alexander and his chances of delivering a win for Bradford City on Friday afternoon. 5 have bet on him to guide his team to emerge victorious from their encounter with Northampton Town. It's all eyes on the home boss now to see if he can indeed deliver.

Burton v Barnsley - Double Chance - away win or draw

Burton Albion have consistently struggled against Barnsley in the League One in recent years. The two clubs have clashed on 5 occasions since 2023, and Barnsley have gone unbeaten in them all. Friday's game at Pirelli Stadium could be a really difficult one for G. Bowyer & co.

Huddersfield v Reading - Both Teams To Score - yes

Supporters at John Smith's Stadium may be banking on plenty goalmouth action on Friday, and rightly so if Reading's recent record is anything to go by. We've seen BTTS in 27 of their 40 League One fixtures this season, the largest number in the competition.

Lincoln v AFC Wim - Win / Draw / Win - home win

AFC Wimbledon will have to be at their very best if they're to get anything at Sincil Bank. Home wins occur more often than not in League One, and it's assumed by many that Lincoln City and their manager M. Skubala will grab another one as they do battle with J. Jackson's troops on Friday afternoon. 7 of KO's bettors have bet on the home win, making the most of top odds of 1.44, and our 68.59 gives a 68.59% chance of them being proved correct.

Luton v Peterborough - Both Teams To Score - yes

Luton Town followers have become used to action at each end when their side plays in League One, with both teams having scored at least one goal in all of their last 7 matches. Peterborough United on Friday afternoon should be another goal-fest.

Plymouth v Bolton - Double Chance - home win or draw

T. Cleverley and his Plymouth Argyle side have developed a handy knack of getting something from almost every League One match they play. They're unbeaten in 5 in League One now, so S. Schumacher and his Bolton Wanderers charges will have their work cut out if they're to get the win at Home Park on Friday.

Rotherham v Stevenage - Double Chance - away win or draw

Following your football club can be a pretty dispiriting experience at times, and Rotherham United’s hardy follows know that feeling especially well right now. Their team, led by M. Hamshaw, has now failed to win any of their last 5 League One matches, and few will be expecting them to end that run against Stevenage at AESSEAL New York Stadium on Friday afternoon. Backing opposition gaffer A. Revell to add another to that list by guiding his lads to either a win or draw can be bet on at best odds of 1.36.

L Orient v Huddersfield - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like putting your money on goals and choosing a winner, then the upcoming clash between Leyton Orient and Huddersfield Town might well be the one for you. R. Wellens's side have lost 11 games this term in which both sides have found the net. That's the highest number in League One.

Lincoln v L Orient - Both Teams To Score & Result -

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.

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.

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

Peterborough United have enjoyed meeting Port Vale in the League One in recent years, with their streak now extending to 6 straight wins against them. D. Moore will be doing all he can to turn the tide, while L. Williams will be expecting more of the same on Saturday afternoon.
