Barnsley v Mansfield - Win / Draw / Win - home win

Like most fans around the globe, Barnsley's dedicated supporters have come to expect a lot from their club and, according to KickOff's bettors, they may just be going home happy on Friday afternoon. 6 of these bettors are betting that C. Hourihane's XI will emerge victorious as N. Clough's Mansfield Town visit Oakwell. Will the wisdom of the crowd be proved correct? Or could we be set for a big upset?

Blackpool v Doncaster - Over / Under 1.5 Goals - over

Bradford v Wigan - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring games aren't always boring, but fans of Wigan Athletic have had plenty of opportunity to test that theory this season. 14 of their side's fixtures in League One have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will G. Alexander and his Bradford City side be able to inject goals into this fixture on Friday? Or will it be yet another low scoring affair?

Burton v Northampton - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Burton Albion and Northampton Town have laboured through a number of tight clashes in recent years. With each of their last 5 League One meetings ending with under 2.5 goals, the attackers picked by G. Bowyer and K. Nolan may be going home disappointed on afternoon.

Cardiff v Exeter - Win / Draw / Win - home win

Exeter City are in for a big test as they go to Cardiff City Stadium. Home victories occur frequently in League One, and the expectation is that Cardiff City and their boss B. Barry-Murphy will claim another one as they face G. Caldwell's side on Friday afternoon. 25 of KO's members have are backing just that, taking advantage of top odds of 1.60, and KO's algorithm suggests there's 60.33% probability of them winning with their bets.

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

Port Vale will be under no illusions as to the scale of the task at hand as they visit John Smith's Stadium. Home wins occur more often than not in League One, and it's assumed by many that Huddersfield Town and their boss G. Lee will claim exactly that as they do battle with D. Moore's charges on Friday afternoon. 8 of our members have bet on the home win, taking advantage of best odds of 1.80, and our 51.74 places a 51.74% chance of just that.

Luton v Wycombe - Both Teams To Score - yes

Luton Town followers have become used to entertainment at each end when their side plays in League One, with both teams having found the net in each of their last 5 matches. Wycombe Wanderers on Friday afternoon could be another goal-fest.

Peterborough v L Orient - Double Chance - home win or draw

Leyton Orient simply have not been able to find a way past Peterborough United in the League One in recent years. The two teams have played on 6 occasions since 2014, and Peterborough United have been unbeaten in them all. Friday's game at ABAX Stadium could be another hard one for R. Wellens & co.

Plymouth v Reading - Half Time / Full Time - away+away

Plymouth Argyle will be looking to avoid adding to the 8 matches they have already been losing at both HT and FT this campaign when they play Reading on Friday. T. Cleverley's side already top the rest of League One in that area, and won't want to make it any worse. Opposing boss L. Richardson will be licking his lips, however.

Stockport v Lincoln - Half Time / Full Time - away+away

D. Challinor won't be looking forward to the prospect of playing Lincoln City in League One on Friday. M. Skubala's side have been ahead at HT and gone on to claim victory at final whistle in more games than any other team in the League One this season - 10 times in total. That record suggests it may be a tough afternoon for Stockport County, and that backing Lincoln City in the halftime fulltime market would be a smart move at odds of 5.50.

Huddersfield v Northampton - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like putting your money on goals and picking a winner, then the upcoming clash between Huddersfield Town and Northampton Town could be worth a look. G. Lee's side have lost 7 games this campaign in which both sides have scored. That's the most in League One.

Lincoln v Huddersfield - Both Teams To Score & Result -

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.
