Reading v Wigan - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
We could just get one of the games of the season when Reading and Wigan Athletic go head-to-head on Saturday afternoon in League One. L. Richardson and G. Caldwell's sides have ample talent in attacking areas, and our smart tipsters fancy them to demonstrate that at Madejski Stadium. 5 of them are tipping the match to contain 3 goals or more in total. 2.20 is the highest price available for their suggestion, and it will have plenty of people getting excited.
Stockport v AFC Wim - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
We could just get one of the games of the season when Stockport County and AFC Wimbledon clash on Saturday afternoon in League One. D. Challinor and J. Jackson's squads know how to score at this level, and our hive of members fancy them to demonstrate that at Edgeley Park. 5 of them are betting on there to be 3 goals or more in total. 1.85 is the top price we've found for their bet, and our tipsters won't be the only ones taking it at that price.
Wycombe v Port Vale - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Most of us have heard of 'the wisdom of the crowd', and our hive of members may just be wiser than most. On Saturday, 71 have seen fit to tip Wycombe Wanderers to get the win versus Port Vale at Adams Park. Backing the home win at odds of 1.60 from some of the UK's leading bookmakers, available on KickOff, they'll be keeping fingers crossed that M. Duff gets his tactics right and brings home that much-needed home win.
Wigan v L Orient - 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. 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 side be capable of adding some spice into this clash on Thursday? Or will it be same old same old?
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 found the net in each of their last 5 meetings, so the The Keepmoat Stadium crowd will be expecting another nail-biter on Friday lunch time.
Blackpool v Exeter - Half Time / Full Time - home+home
Exeter City will be hoping not to add to the 14 games they have already lost at both the break and the final whistle this campaign when they play Blackpool on Friday. M. Taylor's team already lead the rest of League One in that department, and won't want to make it any worse. Opposing boss I. Evatt may not feel the same way, however.
Bradford v Northampton - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Bad form can be tough to shift, but that's the task facing Northampton Town boss K. Nolan on Friday. His players face Bradford City having been beaten in each of their last 4 League One matches.
Burton v Barnsley - Double Chance - away win or draw
Burton Albion have found something of a bogey team in Barnsley in the League One in recent years. The two clubs have met on 5 occasions since 2023, and Barnsley have remained unbeaten in them all. Friday's game at Pirelli Stadium could be a tricky one for G. Bowyer & co.
Huddersfield v Reading - Both Teams To Score - yes
Fans at John Smith's Stadium will be anticipating action at both ends on Friday, and rightly so if Reading's past record is anything to go by. There have been a goal in both nets in 27 of their 40 League One matches this season, the largest number in the competition.
Lincoln v AFC Wim - Double Chance - home win or draw
M. Skubala and his Lincoln City side have found a useful way of taking something from almost every League One game they play. They're unbeaten in 22 in League One now, so J. Jackson and his AFC Wimbledon side will have to be at their best if they're to get the win at Sincil Bank on Friday.
Luton v Peterborough - Both Teams To Score - yes
Luton Town supporters have come to expect action at each end when their team plays in League One, with both teams having scored at least one goal in each of their last 7 games. 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 habit of taking something from almost every League One game they play. They're unbeaten in 5 in League One now, so S. Schumacher and his Bolton Wanderers charges will need to be on top of their game if they're to stand any chance at Home Park on Friday.
Rotherham v Stevenage - Double Chance - away win or draw
It has been a dreadful set of results for Rotherham United and their supporters, with their last League One win now coming 5 games ago. Boss M. Hamshaw simply must find a solution, and preferably right away. Will Stevenage at AESSEAL New York Stadium on Friday provide some relief?
L Orient v Huddersfield - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like putting your money on goals and picking a winner, then the upcoming clash between Leyton Orient and Huddersfield Town could warrant a closer look. R. Wellens's side have lost 11 games this season in which both sides have found the net. That's a record in League One.
Lincoln v L Orient - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like backing goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming game between Leyton Orient and Lincoln City could warrant a closer look. R. Wellens's side have lost 11 games this campaign in which both sides have scored. That's a record in League One.
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.
