League One stats and tips
AFC Wim v Stevenage - Double Chance - away win or draw
Trekking across the width and breadth of the country to support your club can be a pretty dispiriting experience at times, and AFC Wimbledon’s dogged old follows know that feeling especially well at the moment. Their team, led by J. Jackson, is now winless in their previous 7 League One matches, and there will be little hope they can end that run against Stevenage at Cherry Red Records Stadium on Friday afternoon. Backing opposition boss A. Revell to extend the run by leading his team to a positive result is available at best odds of 1.40.
Barnsley v Mansfield - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Evidentally a lot of our tipsters have a resounding belief in C. Hourihane and his chances of delivering victory for Barnsley on Friday afternoon. 14 have bet on him to guide his side to beat Mansfield Town. Surely the home gaffer won't fail to deliver, will he?
Blackpool v Doncaster - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
Tipsters and fans alike will be praying for a deluge of goals when Blackpool and Doncaster Rovers go head-to-head on Friday afternoon in League One. I. Evatt and G. McCann's teams have shown they know their way to goal, and KO's community of bettors have faith in them to illustrate that at Bloomfield Road. 5 of them have backed the game to have at least 3 goals before full time. 1.80 is the top price available for this tip, and there will be a lot of happy faces around if it does deliver.

Bradford v Wigan - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Wigan Athletic will be feeling hopeful yet realistic as they prepare for a trip to Northern Commercials Stadium. Home wins occur more often than not in League One, and most would expect Bradford City and their coach G. Alexander will claim exactly that as they face R. Lowe's troops on Friday afternoon. 8 of KickOff's users have are backing just that, with top odds of 1.95, and KO's algorithm suggests there's 51.71% chance of exactly that happening.
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 seeing under 2.5 goals, the forwards picked by G. Bowyer and K. Nolan may be going home disappointed on afternoon.
Cardiff v Exeter - Half Time / Full Time - home / home
KickOff's bettors are expecting this to be a tough afternoon for G. Caldwell, as his Exeter City faces Cardiff City. 5 League One bettors have bet on the home side to have the lead at both halftime and fulltime.

Duff and his boys to get the away win when they visit Luton Town at Kenilworth Road in League One on Friday afternoon. Imagine the scenes in the away end if they're proven right.

Peterborough v L Orient - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
We could just get one of the games of the season when Peterborough United and Leyton Orient go head-to-head on Friday afternoon in League One. L. Williams and R. Wellens's teams know how to score at this level, and our well-informed members believe they will again at ABAX Stadium. 7 of them are tipping the match to contain 3 goals or more in total. 1.75 is the highest price in our betslip for their tip, and we can think of much worse places to put your money!
Plymouth v Reading - Win / Draw / Win - home win

Cleverley's side will claim victory as L. Richardson's Reading visit Home Park. Will they be proved right? Only time will tell.
Stockport v Lincoln - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
D. Challinor won't be looking forward to facing Lincoln City in League One on Friday. M. Skubala's side have led at HT and gone on to secure the win at FT more often than any other club in the League One this season - 10 times in total. That stat suggests it could well be a demoralising afternoon for Stockport County, and that backing Lincoln City in the HT FT market would be a smart move at odds of 5.50.
Huddersfield v Northampton - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like tipping goals and picking a winner, then the upcoming match between Huddersfield Town and Northampton Town might well be worth a look. G. Lee's side have lost 7 games this campaign in which both clubs have found the net. That's the highest number in League One.
Lincoln v Huddersfield - Both Teams To Score & Result -

Huddersfield v Exeter - 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.
