League One stats and tips
AFC Wim v Bolton - Double Chance - away win or draw
AFC Wimbledon have found something of a bogey team in Bolton Wanderers in the League One in recent years. The two sides have met on 7 occasions since 2016, and Bolton Wanderers have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Cherry Red Records Stadium could be a tricky one for J. Jackson & co.
Bradford v Doncaster - Both Teams To Score - yes
When Bradford City and Doncaster Rovers have met in the league, they've delivered proper entertainment. Both sides have scored in each of their last 5 matches against one another, so the Northern Commercials Stadium faithful will be expecting another nail-biter on Saturday lunch time.
Northampton v Reading - Both Teams To Score - yes
Fans at Sixfields Stadium will be banking on plenty goalmouth action on Saturday, and they're right to, if Reading's recent record is anything to go by. Both teams have found the net in 18 of their 27 League One matches this season, a record matched by no other team in the competition.
Barnsley v Stevenage - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw
It may not be a record they're all that enamoured with, but Stevenage currently lead all other teams in League One when it comes to games in which they have been level at both HT and FT this term, with their tally now at 8 in 27 matches. They will put that somewhat unwelcome consistency on the line versus Barnsley at Oakwell on Saturday, in a fixture that could see yet another tie.
Exeter v Rotherham - Both Teams To Score - no
Going on form alone, we can back at least one club to keep a clean sheet at St James Park on Saturday, as G. Caldwell and M. Hamshaw's sides clash. Exeter City have had the highest number of fixtures where one team or more has not scored (i.e. BTTS no) in League One so far this season - 17 out of 27 played. Both gaffers will just be praying it isn't their them that fails to register.
L Orient v Port Vale - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
If you're not busy on Saturday afternoon, then the clash between Leyton Orient and Port Vale could be one to watch. R. Wellens's team lead League One in most matches with more than 2 goals scored so far this season. 18 of their League One games have already gone that way. With a record like that, surely only an entirely negative game plan from D. Moore's men could keep the score down.
Luton v Blackpool - Double Chance - home win or draw
Blackpool simply have not been able to find a way past Luton Town in the league in recent years. The two clubs have clashed on 8 occasions since 2017, and Luton Town have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Kenilworth Road could be a tricky one for I. Evatt & co.
Peterborough v Huddersfield - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
Peterborough United will be hoping not to add to the 9 times they have already been losing at both HT and FT this season when they face Huddersfield Town on Saturday. L. Williams's side already lead the rest of League One in that department, and won't want to make it any worse. Opposing boss G. Lee , on the other hand, will be feeling very differently.
Wigan v Lincoln - Double Chance - home win or draw
Lincoln City simply have not been able to find a way past Wigan Athletic in the League One in recent years. The two teams have clashed on 6 occasions since 2022, and Wigan Athletic have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at DW Stadium could be a tricky one for M. Skubala & co.
Barnsley v Northampton - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - under
Supporters heading to Oakwell this Tuesday to watch Northampton Town and Barnsley might already be worrying about a long evening, and who could blame them? K. Nolan's players have produced 4 matches with under 0.5 goals this term, the highest number of any team in League One. Will either side break the deadlock? Bet against it at best odds of 10.00.
Burton v Doncaster - Over / Under 5.5 Goals - over
Doncaster Rovers have been League One's entertainers this term, at least in terms of delivering high scoring fixtures. No other team comes close to their record of having taken part in 4 over 5.5 goal games this term. Can they make that 5 when they play Burton Albion on Tuesday evening? With odds of 13.00 on offer, it might be one to watch.
Huddersfield v Blackpool - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like tipping goals and choosing a winner, then the upcoming match between Huddersfield Town and Blackpool could warrant a closer look. G. Lee's side have lost 8 games this campaign in which both sides have found the net. That's the most 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.
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.
Bradford v Rotherham - Win / Draw / Win - home win
The home win is far and away the most popular bet among KickOff's tipsters as Bradford City and Rotherham United clash in League One on Saturday. A total of 76 have backed it already, with top odds of 1.65 catching their eye.
Exeter v Burton - Double Chance - away win or draw

Rotherham v Mansfield - Win / Draw / Win - away win

Mansfield v Reading - Double Chance - away win or draw
A satisfyingly long time has passed since Reading’s merry fans watched their side lose in League One. L. Richardson’s men are now unbeaten in 5 matches, and he'll be hopeful that they can keep that streak running against Mansfield Town at One Call Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Best odds of 1.48 can be grabbed to back Reading to avoid defeat yet again.
Port Vale v Bradford - Double Chance - away win or draw

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.
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.
