EFL LEAGUE ONE BETTING TIPS: PREDICTIONS & BEST BETS 27TH JANUARY 2026

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

BLACKPOOL VS STOCKPORT

Blackpool have shown spells of quality under Ian Evatt, but they lost three league games in a row prior to their recent 2-0 home win against Northampton. Ian Evatt will aim for his side to build on their recent win against the Cobblers and gain some consistency. Stockport have secured seven points from their last three, and the Hatters will look to gain important points in their race for promotion.

Betting Tip: Both Teams To Score – 13/20 – BetMGM

BOLTON VS BURTON

Steven Schumacher’s Bolton have won two of their last three against Wigan and Leyton Orient. Mason Burstow scored a penalty in the 91st minute to secure three points against Orient. Burton are just one place above the relegation zone in 20th, they’ve won just one of their last five, which came against Huddersfield.

Betting Tip: Bolton Win To Nil – 13/10 – Spreadex

CARDIFF VS BARNSLEY

League leaders Cardiff are four points clear of Lincoln in second, so they’ll be looking to expand their lead at the top. Barnsley come into this fixture in better form; they’ve secured five points from their last three and have games in hand.

Betting Tip: First Half Draw – 6/4 – Priced Up

HUDDERSFIELD VS LUTON

Huddersfield are just inside the play-offs in sixth. The Terriers have struggled for form recently, with just one win from their last five, which came against Bradford last time out. Luton have looked better under Jack Wilshere; the Hatters are just three points away from the play-offs, but they’ll be disappointed with their recent 1-0 away loss against Plymouth.

Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals – 19/10 – Quick Bet

LINCOLN vs BRADFORD

The Imps have surprised many this season. They’re currently second in the table and come into this fixture on the back of a 2-1 home win against Burton; Jack Moylan scored a brace. Lincoln has controlled games, and Michael Skubala’s side has been defensively solid. Bradford are fourth in the table and come into this fixture on the back of two consecutive losses against Cardiff and Huddersfield.

Betting Tip: Lincoln Win – 19/20 – Betway

PLYMOUTH vs MANSFIELD

Plymouth have gone from a potential relegation battle to 14th, and Argyle have been in excellent form, winning their last four games in all competitions. Tom Cleverley’s side have kept three clean sheets in their last three league outings. Mansfield has also been excellent recently, winning four of their last five.

Betting Tip: Both Teams To Score – 13/20 – BetMGM

PORT VALE vs AFC WIMBLEDON

Port Vale are bottom of the table in 24th and come into this fixture on the back of two consecutive losses, conceding six goals. Vale are 12 points away from safety, so relegation is becoming a real concern for Jon Brady’s side. AFC Wimbledon started the season well, but they dropped off and currently sit in 18th, just three places above the relegation zone.

Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals – 8/15 – Spreadex

ROTHERHAM vs NORTHAMPTON

Matt Hamshaw’s side recently ended their seven-game losing streak with a 1-1 draw against AFC Wimbledon. The Millers will be looking to gain important points to move them further away from the relegation places. Northampton are just two places above Rotherham in 21st, the Cobblers have lost their last two.

Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals – 4/6 - Priced Up

STEVENAGE vs PETERBOROUGH

Stevenage looked like promotion contenders at the start of the season, but they’ve recently dropped out of the play-off places due to recording no wins from their last five. Under the management of Luke Williams, Peterborough have gone from a relegation battle to just four points away from the play-offs. The Posh managed to beat Wycombe 2-0 in their last league game.

Betting Tip: Peterborough Win – 7/4 - Quick Bet

WYCOMBE vs WIGAN

Wycombe Wanderers started the year on a high, but that streak ended over the weekend with a 2-0 home loss to Peterborough. Lowe’s Wigan looked down and out on Saturday after conceding three goals to Doncaster Rovers by the 49th minute. But late strikes from Joe Taylor, Callum Wright, and debutant Owen Moxon secured a point.

Betting Tip: Draw – 23/10 – BetMGM

DONCASTER vs LEYTON ORIENT

After poor spells, Doncaster have looked better in recent outings, securing five points from their last three. After reaching the play-off final last season, Orient will be disappointed with their current campaign, sitting in 16th. The O’s have struggled on the road, losing their last four away games.

Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals – 5/6 – Spreadex

READING vs EXETER

Reading have two results from their last five, which came against Burton and Stockport. The Royals are currently 13th in the table, Exeter are just three places above Reading in 10th. The Grecians have been in excellent form recently, winning four of their last five. Striker Jayden Wareham has scored three goals in his last four.

Betting Tip: Jayden Wareham To Score – 13/5 – Betway
