EFL LEAGUE ONE BETTING TIPS: PREDICTIONS & BEST BETS 17TH & 18TH FEBRUARY 2026

EFL League One betting tipster Louie Truman has given his betting predictions for League One fixtures, along with League One betting odds and some of the best betting bonuses for League One football.

BARNSLEY VS PETERBOROUGH

The Tykes have had a disappointing campaign so far; they’re sitting in 16th with ten wins, eight draws and ten losses. Barnsley are winless in their last three, and they come into this fixture on the back of a thrilling 3-3 draw at home to AFC Wimbledon. Under the management of Luke Williams, Peterborough have moved up to tenth, just five points away from the play-off places.

Betting Tip: Both Teams To Score – 11/25 – BetMGM

BRADFORD VS STOCKPORT

After promotion from League Two last season, the Bantams have done well to find themselves among the promotion contenders. After a recent drop-off, Graham Alexander’s side have looked better in recent outings with two wins from their last three. Stockport County are one place above Bradford in fourth; the Hatters have secured 11 points from their last five.

Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals – 23/25 – High Bet

BURTON VS ROTHERHAM

Burton Albion are sitting in 21st, just inside the relegation zone. The Millers are two places below Albion in 23rd, so both sides will be looking to secure crucial points in the fight for safety. The Brewers have been unable to keep a clean sheet in their last seven, and Rotherham have scored nine goals in their last five outings.

Betting Tip: Rotherham Win – 2/1 – 247 Bet

CARDIFF VS AFC WIMBLEDON

Cardiff City are currently leading the league; they’re four points clear of Lincoln in second. The Bluebirds have won their last two against Rotherham and Luton; Brian Barry-Murphy’s side scored six goals during the two fixtures. AFC Wimbledon come into this fixture with two wins from their last three.

Betting Tip: Cardiff/Cardiff – 59/50 – BetMGM

DONCASTER VS HUDDERSFIELD

Doncaster are just one place above the relegation zone, so they’ll be looking to secure crucial points to move them further up the table. The Rovers come into this fixture on the back of a disappointing 4-0 away loss against Wycombe. Huddersfield are just inside the play-offs, but they’re winless in their last two.

Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals – 17/20 – High Bet

EXETER VS WYCOMBE

The Grecians have won just one of their last five, which came in a 3-1 away win against Port Vale; Carlos Mendes, Jayden Wareham and Timur Tuterov were the goal scorers. Wycombe are currently sitting in 11th. They come into this fixture on the back of a 3-2 loss against Reading.

Betting Tip: Draw – 9/4 – 247 Bet

LEYTON ORIENT VS PLYMOUTH

Orient reached the play-off final last season, so they’ll be disappointed with their campaign so far. Richie Wellens’ side has lost three of their last four, and they’ve only found the back of the net four times in their last five. After a disappointing start, Argyle have moved up to 12th under the guidance of Tom Cleverley.

Betting Tip: Plymouth Win – 8/5 – BetMGM

LINCOLN VS NORTHAMPTON

The Imps have had an excellent campaign so far; they’re currently second in the table, just four points away from league leaders Cardiff. Lincoln were unlucky not to secure three points against Bolton last time out, after going 1-0 up and creating multiple high-quality chances. Northampton have won two of their last three and come into this fixture on the back of a goalless draw against Exeter.

Betting Tip: Lincoln Win – 2/5 – High Bet

STEVENAGE VS PORT VALE

Stevenage made a strong start to the season, emerging as early play-off contenders. However, they’ve recently dropped out of the play-offs in ninth. Port Vale are sitting in 24th, 11 points away from safety. The Valiants come into this fixture on the back of a 2-2 draw against Burton.

Betting Tip: Stevenage Win – 11/14 – 247 Bet

BLACKPOOL VS MANSFIELD

Blackpool are just two places above the relegation zone in 19th, and they’re winless in their last four. The Seasiders were disappointing last time out, losing 4-0 against Plymouth. Mansfield have drawn four of their last five, so they’ll be looking to build on recent draws.

Betting Tip: Mansfield Win – 37/20 – BetMGM

READING VS BOLTON

The Royals have enjoyed a positive campaign so far, and they sit just one place outside the play-off places. Leam Richardson’s side comes into this fixture on the back of consecutive wins against Wigan and Wycombe. Bolton are sitting in third, six points behind Lincoln in second. Wanderers have won four of their last five outings.

Betting Tip: Draw – 247/100 – High Bet

WIGAN vs LUTON

Wigan are currently 22nd in the table, two points away from safety. The Latics come into this fixture on the back of poor form, losing their last four league outings, conceding 11 goals during this run. The Hatters are two places outside the play-offs, so they’ll be looking to secure important points in their aims for promotion.

Betting Tip: Luton Win – 16/11 – 247 Bet
