EFL League One betting tipster Louie Truman has given his betting predictions for League One fixtures this week, along with League One betting odds and some of the best betting bonuses for League One football.
Both sides haven’t met expectations during the current campaign; the Seasiders are sitting in 22nd, and the Royals are 18th. After the appointment of Lan Evatt, the Tangerines have looked better in recent outings, securing eight points from their last five. Reading comes into this fixture on the back of a 1-1 draw with Rotherham United, the Royals continue to edge up the table under Leam Richardson.
Betting Tip: Draw – 23/10 – Spreadex
Stockport County sit fifth in League One with 28 points from 16 games. Dave Challinor’s side has been one of the division’s most energetic teams, though their recent form has been mixed. An FA Cup win over Tranmere was followed by a heavy 3–0 home defeat to Luton and a 3–0 league loss against Peterborough at the Weston Homes Stadium. The Hatters will be desperate to put in a good performance against Barnsley after back-to-back losses, with six goals conceded. Barnsley come into this fixture on the back of two league wins, including an impressive 5-0 win against Luton in their last outing.
Betting Tip: Barnsley Win/Draw – 4/5 – PricedUp
Bradford are currently third in the table, but they’ve dropped off in recent outings, with only seven points in their last five, which includes a 2-1 home loss against Burton. Graham Alexander’s side will be looking to build some momentum in Saturday’s fixture to keep their promotion hopes back on track. Exeter currently sit just one place above the relegation zone and come into this fixture with only one win in their last five.
Betting Tip: Bradford Win – 3/4 – QuickBet
Burton Albion have found a steady rhythm in recent weeks. Their 1-0 win over Blackpool highlighted their defensive composure and ability to capitalise on crucial moments. The 2-1 win at Bradford City mirrored this approach, with a well-organised shape and well-timed pressure. Orient haven’t met expectations this season; many fans would have expected a promotion push after just losing out to Charlton in last season’s play-off final. Richie Wellens’ side were unlucky not to claim all three points against Blackpool last Saturday; ten-man Orient conceded the equaliser in the 94th minute.
Betting Tip: Burton/Draw – 12/25 – BetMGM
Cardiff are currently second, one point away from league leaders Stevenage. The Bluebirds have been one of the most consistent teams in the promotion race, with only Bolton earning more points in their last five games. Mansfield has been struggling in recent outings. After a strong start, Town have been hit by defeats to Huddersfield and Northampton.
Betting Tip: Cardiff Win – 5/6 – Betway
Doncaster head into this fixture under pressure, having struggled for form. Their last league win was in early autumn, and recent results include losses to Lincoln and Barnsley. Meanwhile, Peterborough have experienced a resurgence under new manager Luke Williams, who replaced Darren Ferguson earlier this month. Posh have secured two wins from their last three, which include an impressive 5-0 home win against AFC Wimbledon and a 3-0 home win against Stockport County.
Betting Tip: Both Teams To Score – 8/13 - Spreadex
Huddersfield have secured two wins in their last three games, Lee Grant’s side will be looking to secure three points, which could potentially take them into the play-off places. AFC Wimbledon have comfortably readjusted to life in Sky Bet League One after last season’s promotion. So far this term, they have claimed wins in eight of their 16 league games, with their performances on the road ranking as the fifth strongest in the division. Despite this, the Dons are currently experiencing a difficult run, losing their last three.
Betting Tip: Huddersfield Win – 4/6 – Betway
Lincoln has surprised many this season; they’re currently in fourth on joint points, as Bradford in second. The Imps will approach the fixture against Port Vale eager to recover from a narrow 3-2 defeat to Wycombe Wanderers, where Jack Grimmer’s 88th-minute strike clinched the win for the Chairboys. Port Vale sit bottom in 24th place, their recent win was a 5-1 triumph over Maldon & Tiptree in the FA Cup First Round, but it remains their only win in their last eight matches across all competitions.
Betting Tip: Lincoln To Win Both Halves – 41/20 – BetMGM
Luton will return to Kenilworth Road feeling confident after their 2-1 win over Huddersfield, bouncing back from a disappointing loss at Barnsley. Bolton have been strong at the back and have been picking up points with solid, organised play. Both teams have different strengths, making this a game to watch.
Betting Tip: Both Teams To Score – 7/10 – PricedUp
After being relegated from the Championship last season, Plymouth Argyle would have hoped to be higher up the table by this point. But new manager Tom Cleverley, who took charge in June, has had a tough start, with just five wins, one draw, and ten losses from their first 16 league games, leaving the Pilgrims 23rd on 16 points. Northampton are currently 17th, struggling for consistency. The Cobblers have won two of their last five, and a win against Plymouth would increase the gap between the relegation zone.
Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals - 19/25 – QuickBet
Rotherham United is just one place below Wycombe in 12th. The Millers come into this fixture undefeated in their last five. In recent outings, Matt Hamshaw’s side have secured impressive wins against Barnsley and Lincoln. Wycombe managed to secure all three points in a dramatic 3-2 win against Lincoln. Jack Grimmer scored the late winner in the 88th minute. The Blues will be keen to maintain their momentum and extend the unbeaten run that has been building since their last defeat in September.
Betting Tip: Goal In Both Halves – 7/10 – BetMGM
Wigan head back to the Brick Community Stadium carrying solid form and spells of grit from recent performances. League leaders Stevenage approach the match with a more measured approach, having been involved in a string of closely contested games, which includes an impressive 1-0 away win against Peterborough in their last outing.
Betting Tip: Wigan Win/Draw – 3/10 – PricedUp
