League One stats and tips
Doncaster v Bolton - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Bad form can be tough to shift, but that's the task facing Doncaster Rovers boss G. McCann on Thursday. His players face Bolton Wanderers having lost each of their last 5 League One games.
Exeter v Luton - Double Chance - away win or draw
Exeter City simply have not been able to find a way past Luton Town in the League One in recent years. The two clubs have played on 6 occasions since 2015, and Luton Town have gone unbeaten in them all. Thursday's game at St James Park could be a tricky one for G. Caldwell & co.
L Orient v AFC Wim - Double Chance - home win or draw
It has been a dismal set of results for AFC Wimbledon and their supporters, with their last League One victory now coming 9 games ago. Boss J. Jackson simply must find a way out, and sooner rather than later. Will Leyton Orient at Matchroom Stadium on Thursday provide some relief?
Lincoln v Huddersfield - Half Time / Full Time - away / away
Anyone looking to bet on the half time/full time market will have noticed the form of Huddersfield Town. G. Lee's side has been incredibly superior in recent League One outings, holding the lead at HT in each of their last 3 and going on to win them all at FT. Lincoln City on Thursday afternoon can't come soon enough.
Mansfield v Bradford - Both Teams To Score & Result - away
Mansfield Town will be concerned that 1 goal probably won't be enough to claim victory over Bradford City on Thursday afternoon. G. Alexander's men have the best record in League One when it comes to conceding yet still claiming victory (7 of their 22 matches), so defence first might be the best course of action for N. Clough and his Mansfield Town charges at One Call Stadium.
Northampton v Stockport - Over / Under 1.5 Goals - over
Each of Stockport County's last 9 League One matches has had two or more goals, suggesting that fans could get their money's worth as they face Northampton Town on Thursday afternoon.
Port Vale v Blackpool - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Bad form can be tough to shift, but that's the task facing Port Vale boss D. Moore on Thursday. His players face Blackpool having failed to get anything but defeat out of their last 3 League One games.
Reading v Burton - Both Teams To Score - yes
Fans at Madejski Stadium will be banking on plenty goalmouth action on Thursday, and with good reason if Reading's past record is anything to go by. We've seen BTTS in 15 of their 22 League One matches this season, the largest number in the competition.
Rotherham v Peterborough - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Bad form can be tough to shift, but that's what's required of Rotherham United boss M. Hamshaw on Thursday. His players face Peterborough United having failed to get anything but defeat out of their last 5 League One outings.
Stevenage v Plymouth - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Plymouth Argyle have enjoyed meeting Stevenage in the League One of late, putting together a run of 5 straight wins against them. A. Revell will be hoping for a change in fortunes, while T. Cleverley will be hopeful of more of the same on Thursday afternoon.
Wigan v Barnsley - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Losing streaks can be incredibly difficult to break, but that's what's required of Barnsley boss C. Hourihane on Thursday. His players face Wigan Athletic having been beaten in each of their last 3 League One outings.
Wycombe v Cardiff - Over / Under 5.5 Goals - under
Anyone on the lookout for a wild match with goals galore on Thursday afternoon, Wycombe Wanderers v Cardiff City on Thursday afternoon may be one to avoid. All of Wycombe Wanderers's last 82 League One outings has had under 5.5 goals, and nobody's expecting that M. Duff's side break that run of form any time soon.
Lincoln v Peterborough - Half Time / Full Time - home+home
L. Williams won't be looking forward to facing Lincoln City in League One on Sunday. M. Skubala's side have been ahead at HT and gone on to win at fulltime more frequently than any other team in the League One this term - 12 times in total. That stat suggests there's every chance of it being a demoralising lunch time for Peterborough United, and that backing Lincoln City in the HT FT market would be a great shout at odds of 2.88.
Blackpool v Bradford - Both Teams To Score & Result - away
Blackpool will be aware that 1 goal may not be enough to get the win against Bradford City on Sunday afternoon. G. Alexander's team have the best record in League One when it comes to winning games in which both teams are on the scoresheet (7 of their 22 games), so defence first might be the only viable route for I. Evatt and his Blackpool team at Bloomfield Road.
Doncaster v Luton - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like putting your money on goals and picking a winner, then the upcoming match between Doncaster Rovers and Luton Town might well be the one for you. G. McCann's side have lost 7 games this campaign in which both teams have got on the scoresheet. That's the most in League One.
Huddersfield v Exeter - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring fixtures aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Exeter City have had too many chances to test that theory this campaign. 15 of their side's encounters in League One have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will G. Lee and his Huddersfield Town team be able to inject spice into this match on Sunday? Or will it be same old same old?
Plymouth v Burton - Double Chance - home win or draw
Burton Albion simply have not been able to find a way past Plymouth Argyle in the League One in recent years. The two sides have met on 8 occasions since 2018, and Plymouth Argyle have remained unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Home Park could be a tricky one for G. Bowyer & co.
Port Vale v Barnsley - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw
It might not be a record they're particularly proud of, but Port Vale currently lead all other teams in League One when it comes to fixtures in which they have been level at both halftime and fulltime this term, with their tally now at 6 in 22 outings. They will put that somewhat unwelcome consistency to the test against Barnsley at Vale Park on Sunday, in a fixture that could see yet another dead heat.
Reading v Stockport - Both Teams To Score - yes
Fans at Madejski Stadium may be fully expecting goals galore on Sunday, and rightly so if Reading's recent record is anything to go by. Both teams have scored in 15 of their 22 League One matches this season, the largest number in the competition.
Stevenage v L Orient - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - over
If you're after entertainment this Sunday, you could probably do worse than buying a ticket for the match at Lamex Stadium. 6 of Leyton Orient's League One games this season have finished with 5 goals or more - the highest number in the competition. Who would rule out another, especially with odds of 10.00 available?
Wycombe v AFC Wim - Double Chance - away win or draw
Wycombe Wanderers have found something of a bogey team in AFC Wimbledon in the league in recent years. The two sides have played on 9 occasions since 2015, and AFC Wimbledon have gone unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Adams Park could be a really difficult one for M. Duff & co.
Stockport v Huddersfield - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like backing goals and choosing a winner, then the upcoming game between Huddersfield Town and Stockport County might well be worth a look. G. Lee's side have lost 7 games this season in which both sides have found the net. That's a record in League One.
Burton v Doncaster - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like backing goals and choosing a winner, then the upcoming fixture between Doncaster Rovers and Burton Albion could warrant a closer look. G. McCann's side have lost 7 games this campaign in which both sides have found the net. That's a record in League One.
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.
Barnsley v Northampton - Both Teams To Score - no
Going on form alone, we can back at least one goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet at Oakwell on Saturday, as K. Nolan and C. Hourihane's teams meet. Northampton Town have had the most matches where one team or more has failed to find the back of the net (i.e. BTTS no) in League One so far this term - 11 out of 15 played. Both managers will just be hoping it isn't their side that flounders in front of goal.
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.
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
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
