EFL League One betting tipster Louie Truman has given his betting predictions for League One fixtures this weekend, along with League One betting odds and some of the best betting bonuses for League One football.
BRADFORD VS CARDIFF
The lunchtime kick-off between Bradford and Cardiff looks to be a cracker. The Bantams are currently third in the table, just two points behind Lincoln in second. Fans will be pleased with how their campaign is going so far, considering they gained promotion from League Two last season. League leaders Cardiff are four points clear at the top; the Bluebirds have secured eleven points from their last five.
Betting Tip: Both Teams To Score – 3/5 –
BetMGM
WIGAN VS BOLTON
The Latics are 15th in the table and have won just one fixture from their last five; this win came at the Pirelli Stadium. It finished 2-0 to Wigan, Harrison Bettoni and Dara Costelloe were the goal scorers. Bolton are just inside the play-offs in sixth. However, they have struggled for form in recent outings, only securing two points from their last four.
Betting Tip: Wigan Win/Draw – 8/13 -

WIMBLEDON VS DONCASTER
AFC Wimbledon. At the start of the season, AFC Wimbledon looked like real play-off contenders, but they’ve dropped off and currently sit in 13th. The Dons have managed just one win from their last five league games, which came in a 3-1 away win against Leyton Orient.
This result showed positive signs due to responding when going 1-0 down in the sixth minute. Wimbledon come into this fixture on the back of an impressive 4-2 home win against West Ham U21’s in the EFL Trophy, so they’ll be high in confidence. On the other hand, Doncaster have lost four of their last five outings in the league, and they currently sit second from bottom.
Betting Tip: AFC Wimbledon Win – 6/4 -

BARNSLEY VS BLACKPOOL
Barnsley are 17th in the table, but they have three or four fixtures in hand compared to other teams. They recently played Liverpool in the FA Cup third round, despite going down 4-1, they put in a competitive performance. Blackpool have moved out of the relegation places; they’re just two places below Barnsley in the table. The Seasiders have looked better under the guidance of Ian Evatt.
Betting Tip: Both Teams To Score – 3/5 –
Betway
BURTON VS HUDDERSFIELD
After a promising start to the season, the Brewers currently sit in 21st, so Gary Bowyer’s side will be looking to secure an important three points, which could take them out of the relegation places. Huddersfield are in the play-off places, but the Terriers have only managed two points from their last three, so they’ll be looking to regain momentum at the Pirelli Stadium.
Betting Tip: Huddersfield Win – 10/11 –
Spreadex
EXETER VS STEVENAGE
Exeter have secured ten points from their last five, which includes a 1-0 home win against an in-form Luton. Gary Caldwell’s side have been finding the back of the net consistently with seven goals in their last five, City will look to exploit Stevenage’s backline. Stevenage looked like a promotion contender for the majority of this season, but they’ve dropped to 8th, winless in their last five.
Betting Tip: Exeter Win – 3/2 –
QuickBet
LEYTON ORIENT VS READING
After reaching the play-off final last season, Orient will be disappointed with how their current campaign is going. Richie Wellens’ side is 18th, with only one point gained from their last four. Despite their recent form, the O’s have been better at Brisbane Road. Reading have been excellent recently, winning four of their last five, and they come into this fixture on the back of a 1-0 home win against fourth in the table Stockport County; Lewis Wing scored a late winner.
Betting Tip: Reading Win – 37/20 –
BetMGM
LUTON VS LINCOLN
The Hatters are just one place outside the play-off places, which is a great place to be after a disappointing start to the season under Matt Bloomfield. Under Jack Wilshere, Luton has managed nine wins, four draws and six losses. Michael Skubala’s Lincoln has surprised many this season, currently sitting in second. The Imps have been solid defensively and have excellent squad-depth.
Betting Tip: Draw – 21/10 –

NORTHAMPTON VS WYCOMBE
The Cobblers are just one place above the relegation zone in 20th, just two points above the relegation zone. They’ll be looking to build on their recent back-to-back 0-0 draws against Stockport and Bolton. Wycombe reached the play-offs last season; they’re currently 11th in the table; they’re missing key players, who they lost in the summer transfer window, including Richard Kone and Sonny Bradley.
Betting Tip: Draw – 11/5 –
QuickBet
PETERBOROUGH vs PLYMOUTH
Peterborough have gone from a team fighting relegation to play-off contenders. Luke Williams has had a major impact after the departure of Darren Ferguson; Williams has won ten of the 16 games he’s been in charge. After relegation last season, many would have expected Plymouth to be pushing for a play-off place, but they’re currently 16th and have looked better in recent outings. They come into this fixture on the back of a 3-0 home win against Burton.
Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals – 5/6 –
BetMGM
STOCKPORT vs ROTHERHAM
Stockport are fourth in the table and will be aiming for promotion. They come into this fixture on the back of an impressive 1-0 home win against Huddersfield; Benony Andresson scored a 96th-minute winner. On the other hand, Rotherham are fighting for survival. Rovers are third from bottom, and Matthew Hamshaw’s side have lost their last five.
Betting Tip: Stockport Win & Both Teams Not To Score – 6/4 -
