League One stats and tips
Exeter v Burton - Over / Under 3.5 Goals - under
We have seen 3 goals or less in every one of Burton Albion's last 10 League One outings. As they go head to head with G. Caldwell's Exeter City at St James Park on Friday, tipsters may well be backing that run to continue.
Birmingham v Crawley - Both Teams To Score - yes
Birmingham City fans have come to expect entertainment at each end when their team plays in League One, with both teams having scored in each of their last 6 outings. Crawley Town on Friday afternoon should be another goal-fest.
Bolton v Wycombe - Both Teams To Score & Result - home
Wycombe Wanderers will know that 1 goal may not be enough to claim victory over Bolton Wanderers on Friday afternoon. Steven Gerrard's side have the best record in League One when it comes to winning games in which both teams are on the scoresheet (14 of their 42 outings), so keeping things tight might be the best course of action for Mike Mcelwee and his Wycombe Wanderers charges at Macron Stadium.
Charlton v Northampton - Win / Draw / Win - home win
As we all know, Charlton Athletic's adoring supporters have come to expect a lot from their team and, in the opinion of our bettors, they may just have them met on Friday afternoon. 7 of those users are predicting that Nathan Jones's XI will get the win as Omar Lepri's Northampton Town visit The Valley. Here's hoping they're proved right!
Huddersfield v Cambridge - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
Cambridge United's recent games in League One have delivered spills and thrills aplenty, but it has been a while since Neil Critchley's side treated their fans to a ding-dong battle with goals galore. There have been under 4.5 goals in every one of their last 16 outings.
L Orient v Barnsley - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Barnsley are in for a big test as they go to Matchroom Stadium. Home victories occur frequently in League One, and the expectation is that Leyton Orient and their boss Richard Wellens will grab another one as they do battle with Darrell Clarke's troops on Friday afternoon. 6 of our users have predicted that outcome, with top odds of 1.70, and our 53.53 suggests there's 53.53% chance of them celebrating another win come full time.
Peterborough v Stockport - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
Peterborough United's recent League One outings have been brimming with goalmouth action. All of their last 5 have had over 2.5 goals, and Friday against Stockport County should deliver more of the same. Fans of both sides will be hoping that D. Ferguson and D. Challinor send their teams out to go for glory.
Rotherham v Mansfield - Win / Draw / Win - home win
It's never easy to end a losing run, but that's the task facing Mansfield Town boss Nigel Clough on Friday. His side face Rotherham United having failed to get anything but defeat out of their last 3 League One outings.
Shrewsbury v Wigan - Double Chance - away win or draw
Shrewsbury Town have consistently struggled against Wigan Athletic in the League One in recent years. The two sides have met on 8 occasions since 2017, and Wigan Athletic have gone unbeaten in them all. Friday's game at Montgomery Waters Meadow could be a tricky one for Gareth Ainsworth & co.
Stevenage v Blackpool - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw
Lamex Stadium is the venue as Blackpool and Stevenage meet on Friday afternoon, in what could well be a real crowd-pleaser. Steve Bruce's side have the most score draws of any club in the competition - 10 in 41 games. An extension of that record has best odds of 4.33.
Wrexham v Bristol R - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Unsurpisingly, Wrexham's adoring fans expect high standards from their club and, according to KO's tipsters, they may just be going home happy on Friday afternoon. 8 of these tipsters are predicting that Phil Parkinson's side will emerge victorious as Oleg Dulub's Bristol Rovers visit Racecourse Ground. Will they be proved right? Only time will tell.
Barnsley v Peterborough - Both Teams To Score - yes
Fans at Oakwell may be fully expecting plenty goalmouth action on Monday, and rightly so if Barnsley's recent record is to be continued. We've seen BTTS in 28 of their 42 League One fixtures this season, more than any side in the competition.
Blackpool v Wrexham - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw
Bloomfield Road is the venue as Blackpool and Wrexham meet on Monday afternoon, in what might just be a proper ding-dong battle. Steve Bruce's side have the highest number of BTTS + draws of any side in the competition - 10 in 41 outings. An extension of that record is available at 4.33.
Burton v Birmingham - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
Lee Bowyer won't be relishing going up against Birmingham City in League One on Monday. C. Davies's side have led at HT and gone on to claim victory at fulltime more frequently than any other club in the League One this season - 16 times in total. That stat suggests it could well be a demoralising afternoon for Burton Albion, and that backing Birmingham City in the HT FT market would be a great shout at odds of 2.30.
Cambridge v L Orient - Both Teams To Score - no
If we trust the form book, we can back at least one defence to earn a clean sheet at The Abbey Stadium on Monday, as Richard Wellens and Neil Critchley's sides clash. Leyton Orient have had the highest number of fixtures where one team or more has not scored (i.e. BTTS no) in League One so far this campaign - 26 out of 42 played. Both gaffers will just be desperate that it isn't their them that fails to register.
Crawley v Exeter - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
Crawley Town will be looking to avoid adding to the 20 times they have already lost at both HT and FT this campaign when they play Exeter City on Monday. Rob Edwards's team already top the rest of League One in that category, and won't want to make the situation any worse. Opposing boss G. Caldwell may not feel the same way, however.
Lincoln v Bolton - Double Chance - away win or draw
Lincoln City have found something of a bogey team in Bolton Wanderers in the League One in recent years. The two teams have played on 7 occasions since 2021, and Bolton Wanderers have been unbeaten in them all. Monday's game at Sincil Bank could be a really difficult one for M. Skubala & co.
Northampton v Shrewsbury - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw
It might not be an honour they're particularly enamoured with, but Northampton Town currently lead all opposition in League One when it comes to fixtures in which they have been level at both halftime and fulltime this season, with their tally now at 10 in 42 matches. They will put that somewhat unwelcome consistency on the line versus Shrewsbury Town at Sixfields Stadium on Monday, in a match that could see yet another tie.
Stockport v Huddersfield - Double Chance - away win or draw
Stockport County have found something of a bogey team in Huddersfield Town in the league in recent years. The two teams have met on 9 occasions since 2000, and Huddersfield Town have been unbeaten in them all. Monday's game at Edgeley Park could be a tricky one for D. Challinor & co.
Wigan v Rotherham - Double Chance - home win or draw
Rotherham United have consistently struggled against Wigan Athletic in the league in recent years. The two teams have played on 10 occasions since 2017, and Wigan Athletic have been unbeaten in them all. Monday's game at DW Stadium could be a tricky one for Steve Evans & co.
Crawley v Northampton - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like putting your money on goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming game between Crawley Town and Northampton Town could be the one for you. Rob Edwards's side have lost 12 games this campaign in which both teams have scored. That's the highest number in League One.
