Luton v Wycombe - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Winning on a visit to Kenilworth Road is never an easy feat to pull off, but clearly M.

Duff. If you wanted to do the same, decent odds of 3.10 are currently on offer.

We all love a thriller, and we might just get another when Peterborough United and Leyton Orient face off on Friday afternoon in League One. L. Williams and R. Wellens's sides have shown they know their way to goal, and KickOff's hive of bettors are backing them to show that at ABAX Stadium. 10 of them are tipping the game to have over 2.5 goals before full time. 1.75 is the most-enticing price in our betslip for their tip, and it could well be one to watch.
Plymouth v Reading - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Reading will be under no illusions as to the scale of the task at hand as they visit Home Park. Home wins occur regularly in League One, and most would expect Plymouth Argyle and their manager T. Cleverley will grab another one as they face L. Richardson's charges on Friday afternoon. 8 of KO's members have predicted that outcome, taking advantage of best odds of 2.50, and our 35.13 places a 35.13% chance of them winning with their bets.
Stockport v Lincoln - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
D. Challinor won't be too excited about the prospect of playing Lincoln City in League One on Friday. M. Skubala's side have been ahead at halftime and gone on to secure the win at final whistle more frequently than any other team in the League One this season - 10 times in total. That stat suggests there's every chance of it being a demoralising afternoon for Stockport County, and that backing Lincoln City in the halftime fulltime market would be a strong bet at odds of 5.50.
Barnsley v Lincoln - Both Teams To Score - yes
When Barnsley and Lincoln City have met in the League One, they've delivered proper entertainment. Both sides have scored in each of their last 5 meetings, so the Oakwell crowd could be in for another classic on Monday evening.
Bradford v Port Vale - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw
It might not be a record they're all that proud of, but Port Vale currently lead all opponents in League One when it comes to fixtures in which they have been level at both the break and the final whistle this term, with their tally now at 6 in 20 games. They will put that unwanted consistency on the line versus Bradford City at Northern Commercials Stadium on Monday, in a fixture that could see yet another stalemate.
Burton v Wigan - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring matches aren't always entirely dull, but fans of Wigan Athletic have had too many chances 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. Bowyer and his Burton Albion side be able to inject spice into this encounter on Monday? Or will it be same old same old?
Cardiff v Stevenage - Over / Under 5.5 Goals - over
Cardiff City have been League One's showmen this season, at least in terms of serving up high scoring games. No other side comes close to their record of having played in 2 over 5.5 goal games this season. Can they make it 3 when they take on Stevenage on Monday evening? With odds of 15.00 on offer, it could be worth backing.
Huddersfield v Northampton - Both Teams To Score - yes
When Huddersfield Town and Northampton Town have met in the League One, goals have generally followed. Both sides have scored in each of their last 6 clashes, so the John Smith's Stadium crowd could be in for another thriller on Monday evening.
Luton v L Orient - Double Chance - home win or draw
Leyton Orient have found something of a bogey team in Luton Town in the league in recent years. The two sides have clashed on 5 occasions since 2015, and Luton Town have been unbeaten in them all. Monday's game at Kenilworth Road could be a tricky one for R. Wellens & co.
Peterborough v Reading - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw
ABAX Stadium is the backdrop as Reading and Peterborough United clash on Monday evening, in what might just be a proper ding-dong battle. L. Richardson's side have the most BTTS + draws of any team in the competition - 7 in 20 outings. An extension of that record is available at 4.20.
Plymouth v Wycombe - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
Plymouth Argyle will be looking to avoid adding to the 8 games they have already lost at both halftime and fulltime this campaign when they play Wycombe Wanderers on Monday. T. Cleverley's players already lead the rest of League One in that department, and won't want to make it any worse. Opposing boss M. Duff , on the other hand, will be feeling very differently.
Lincoln v Huddersfield - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like backing goals and picking a winner, then the upcoming clash between Huddersfield Town and Lincoln City could warrant a closer look. G. Lee's side have lost 7 games this season in which both teams have scored. That's the highest number in League One.
Huddersfield v Exeter - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like backing goals and picking a winner, then the upcoming game between Huddersfield Town and Exeter City could be worth a look. G. Lee's side have lost 7 games this term in which both teams have scored. That's the most 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
