FA Cup
LeedsMillwall
Squawka Betting Tip
Leeds have won their last three home games against Millwall, with 12 goals scored in those matches in total. Manor Solomon has opened the scoring in two of Leeds' last three games at the time of writing, scoring six in total this season.
Leeds to win, over 3.5 goals and Manor Solomon anytime goalscorer
Since suffering a 1-0 defeat to Chelsea, the Cityzens have participated in six FA Cup away matches, with four of those games featuring more than 2.5 goals. Chances are Pep Guardiola will field a team similar to the one that started against Salford, which means key players like Erling Haaland and Phil Foden may be given a rest, either coming off the bench or being unused substitutes. James McAtee has long been touted as a future fixture in the City team and is likely to get another opportunity to play. In his last outing, he demonstrated his ability to make late runs into the box and finish chances, ultimately scoring a hat trick. Therefore, among those who will take to the field, he is one of the most likely to score for the Premier League champions.
Over 2.5 goals and James McAtee anytime goalscorer
Dortmund will be on their toes for new boss Niko Kovac’s first game in charge and can follow up on their solid win at Heidenheim last week. Both teams have scored in the hosts’ last four Bundesliga games at Signal Iduna Park and with Serhou Guirassy finding the net a week before facing his former club, they should edge another BTTS game with their number nine getting on the scoresheet.
Dortmund to win, BTTS and Serhou Guirassy to score
Unbeaten on their travels in the Bundesliga, Leverkusen can take three points against a Wolfsburg side they have beaten three times running. Xabi Alonso’s side have only scored more than two on the road in one of their last six league games but Patrik Schick remains in sharp form with goals (nine in total) in five of his last six Bundesliga appearances.
Leverkusen to win, Under 2.5 Leverkusen goals and Patrick Schick to score
FA Cup clashes in the early rounds can often yield low card counts at 22/1 I’ve had a poke on their being less than two cards brandished, along with under two goals being scored. Five of Burnley’s last nine have finished goalless and a snooze-fest could be on the cards on the south coast.
Under 2.5 Goals (4/5 with Sky Bet)
Burnley have failed to score in five of their last eight league games, but they have been water-tight at the back, having shipped just one goal in over 15 hours of football. Even some of Burnley’s fans have become bored with their style under Scott Parker and I don’t see things being any different here.
Southampton have improved under Ivan Duric and managed a solid 2-1 win over Ipswich last weekend, but with eight of Burnley’s last nine seeing under 2.5 goals land, a repeat looks likely.
I’ve also had a little tickle on Dango Ouattara & Iliman Ndiaye both to score or assist a goal at 13/2 via the Power Prices with Paddy Power. Ouattara has four goal contributions in his last four appearances and combining him with the in-form Ndiaye looks a solid proposition.
Dango Ouattara & Iliman Ndiaye both to score or assist a goal
David Moyes has enjoyed a positive return to Goodison Park, with the Toffees putting together three consecutive league wins. Everton have scored eight goals across those three matches and I think this will be a high-scoring contest on Saturday.
Moyes is expected to make changes but Iliman Ndiaye has been excellent of late and should retain his place. The Senegalese forward has scored in four of his last five. He is also on penalty duty and scored against Peterborough in the previous round of this competition.
Both teams have scored in seven of the last eight meetings of these clubs with Eintracht unbeaten in that time with six wins and two draws. A stoppage-time leveller denied the Eagles all three points on their last away trip and they can make amends here with Hugo Ekitike, who has taken on the scoring mantle recently, grabbing a goal.
BTTS, Eintracht Frankfurt to win and Hugo Ekitike to score
Newcastle have won their past five away games across all competitions, scoring at least twice on all five occasions. But Birmingham have also scored at least twice in four of their past six home games. Jay Stansfield is Birmingham's top scorer across all competitions, netting 14 goals in 22 games.
Newcastle to win, over 3.5 goals and Jay Stansfield to score anytime
Today’s acca tips start with Everton to beat Bournemouth. There has been a significant change of mood at Goodison Park since the return of David Moyes. The Toffees have won three consecutive league matches, with victories over Spurs, Brighton and Leicester. Bournemouth suffered their first defeat in 13 against Liverpool last week. The Cherries are in an incredibly strong position to qualify for European football next season and with that in mind, Everton could be the more hungry of the pair on Saturday. At almost 2/1, the market could be overlooking the hosts.
Everton to Win
FA Cup
Preston -
Wycombe
Squawka Betting Tip
Preston have not lost a home game since all the way back at the start of November. With this in mind, I’m surprised to 6/5 available for North End to come out on top against a Wycombe side from the division below.
Preston to Win
Brighton -
Chelsea
Squawka Betting Tip
Brighton have only won one of their last 11 home matches against Chelsea and have lost the last four consecutive meetings with the Blues. The Seagulls have been inconsistent of late, and so have Chelsea. However, Chelsea were much improved against West Ham on Monday and they hold a magnificent record in this competition, having progressed from 25 of their last 27 FA Cup fourth-round ties. This game could become a bit of a shootout with two attack-minded teams and taking the visitors to win and both teams to score looks a nice way into the markets.

Birmingham -
Newcastle
Squawka Betting Tip
Newcastle enjoyed a memorable night at St James’ Park on Wednesday as they swept aside Arsenal to reach their second League Cup final in three years. The Magpies have been in good form for the majority of the last two months and even with plenty of changes expected, they should still have more than enough to see off Birmingham and bring home our FA Cup accumulator.
When these two teams met in September, Cole Palmer set a new Premier League record of being the only player to ever score four goals in the first half of a game. The 22-year-old has 14 goals in total this season and with other firms pricing this bet closer to 6/1, the 9/1 Power Price with Paddy Power looks worth a few quid.

Atletico Madrid have not lost to their rivals inside 90 minutes in any of the last seven league and cup derbies. Twelve of their last 15 La Liga clashes with Real have seen fewer than three goals scored, while Conor Gallagher was booked on his first derby appearance and in Atletico’s last two games.
Atletico Madrid double chance, Under 2.5 goals and Conor Gallagher to be booked
Cody Gakpo has scored 16 times so far this season, including seven in cup competitions. Liverpool have scored 17 goals in their last five FA Cup matches dating back to the start of last season. Bali Mumba has been booked three times this season and will play a pivotal role in the Plymouth defence.
Cody Gakpo anytime goalscorer, Over 3.5 goals and Bali Mumba to be booked
Valencia have not scored more than once in three of their last five at home while Leganes have conceded only twice in their last four games. Los Che have won at least five corners in seven of their last 10 home league games. Leganes midfielder Yvan Neyou collected his ninth card of the campaign last week and is always a danger to be booked.
Valencia under 1.5 goals, Valencia 5+ corners and Yvan Neyou to be booked

The League One season is just weeks away and clubs will be looking to jostle for position as they try and claim their place in the Championship next season.
Last season, Portsmouth were crowned champions and were joined by Derby County in the automatic promotion places.
Oxford United were the side that came through the playoffs, beating Peterborough United and Bolton Wanderers on their way to reaching the second tier.
Portsmouth were not really amongst the highly fancied teams in the pre-season betting odds for League One, which is a reminder to all punters to consider their picks wisely ahead of the season.
It is always tempting to look at the clubs relegated from the Championship last season in the first instance, and there have been successes from this approach, especially when Rotherham come back into the third tier, however, there is no divine right, and Steve Evans will have his work cut out to repeat the heroics of Paul Warne in getting the Millers back up at the first time of asking.
This is because Birmingham City have launched an assault on League One before a ball has even been kicked. Recruitment has been wide-ranging and impressive at St Andrew’s over the summer, with European additions as well as impressive domestic signings joining a squad that was already arguably Championship standard.
Bolton were in contention for promotion all season but fell at the final hurdle in the play-offs, and well-backed Wrexham are a potential challenger at the top of League One as well.
Who will reach the play-offs in League One?
As well as the likes of Bolton and Wrexham, there are a number of contenders to reach the League One play-offs.
Peterborough United have finished in the top six in the last two seasons, and will be confident of doing so again, despite losing the a few top players from last season.
Stockport County come into the season as League Two champions, finishing ahead of Wrexham n the battle for the title last season, and they have added some quality individuals to their squad for the season ahead.
A couple of the relegated Championship teams should figure here as well, with Huddersfield more used to being in the top two divisions in recent seasons.
Charlton Athletic should also be considered with Nathan Jones, previously seen leading Luton out of this division, and managing in the Premier League, having a full pre-season and transfer window to improve the under-achieving Addicks.
Who will be relegated from League One?
At the other end of the table, it was Cheltenham Town, Fleetwood Town, Port Vale and Carlisle United that dropped into League Two and will be attempting to make their way back to the third tier of English football next season.
Crawley Town are the favourites to suffer relegation this season, after suffering a complete loss of the team that earned promotion through the play-offs, but there are a host of teams who the bookies are tipping to go down including Cambridge United, Shrewsbury Town and Northampton Town.
When do you release your League One Predictions?
As with our tips from other leagues, we look to release our League One predictions approximately 48 hours ahead of kick-off in the league’s fixtures. Of course, this is subject to change due to fixture congestion and that could be particularly prevalent this season with clubs looking to squeeze 46 games into a condensed schedule.
We are packed with EFL expertise at Squawka Bet, so you can guarantee that our tips and predictions have been meticulously researched and we’re not afraid to dive into more obscure markets than you might not expect from a tipping service. We look to bring a stats-driven slant to our betting content using the numbers to back-up our selections.
Today’s League One betting tips
Looking for tips on League One action taking place today? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered right here at Squawka Bet with our betting tips for every League One fixture – plus specially curated match previews for the biggest games.
Our League One betting tips are powered by Opta data and our own expertise and come from a huge variety of different markets from your straight Win-Draw-Win tips right through to the more obscure markets, including player stats bets (when they are available).
League One Inplay betting tips
It used to be so difficult to partake in League One InPlay betting and odds were only available on a very limited number of matches. Now, there are hundreds of games across the world every single week that are available to bet on InPlay and the Sky Bet League One is absolutely no different with the options it has available.
Odds will react to live events unfolding out of the pitch, so if you’re watching the game you might spy one team coming closer to an equaliser and take advantage of the inplay price on that team to score the next goal, or even to get the draw or go on to grab the win. These bets become easier to place if you’re watching the game and some firms in certain countries allow League One live streaming so that’s something you may be able to take advantage of too.
Full Time Results
The most popular way of betting on a match is simply betting on the outcome. This market is often known as the full-time result market, although it is also called Win-Draw-Win with bookmakers. With these bets, it’s worth checking the league table and form as well as which players are missing for both teams.
This is different from a correct score bet, when you bet on the final scoreline of a match rather than simply the result. You can also bet on the result at different points of the game, with markets such as the Half Time result.
Both Teams to Score
After the full-time result market, the next most-popular is both teams to score. This is particularly popular within the English lower leagues as with a whole host of matches taking place at the same time across the Championship and Leagues One and Two, it offers ample opportunity for matches to place on your accumulator.
The bet itself is as simple as it sounds – you’re just betting on both teams to find the net over 90 minutes! One team to look out for when it comes to your League One BTTS bet is Peterborough United, who scored 89 goals and conceded 61 times.
BTTS & Win
Of course, you can even combine your both teams to score bet with a full-time result bet and this market is referred to as BTTS & Win, or Match Result and BTTS with other bookmakers. You may want to look at which high-flying teams concede plenty of goals, or which teams towards the bottom of the table still manage to get on the scoresheet fairly often as good indicators of teams to back on this market.
BTTS in Both Halves
And to take both teams to score betting themes one step further, you can even bet on both teams to find the net in both halves, and these bets offer great value – although perhaps don’t combine them for multiples if you’re hoping for the win! For these bets, you need to make sure that not only do both teams within the game possess quality attackers but that they’re also liable to conceding goals too.
Over 2.5 Goals
Another highly popular betting strategy within lower-league punters is to stick to the Unders and Overs bets. You can change the parameters so that instead of 2.5 you’re backing Over 1.5 or perhaps Under 3.5, but the premise is simple – if Over or Under 2.5 goals are scored in the match, your bet is a winner if you’ve backed the right one. This is another market that’s great for long-form accumulators on a Saturday afternoon of EFL fixtures.
Anytime Goalscorer
Got your eye on the top scoring players in League One? Then perhaps an anytime goalscorer bet is the way to go, as you can now bet on a player to score first, last, or any time within the game. Last season’s top scorer was Alfie May, who has recently secured a big money move to promotion favourites, Birmingham City. Another couple of players to look out for are Devante Cole of Barnsley and Jamie Reid of Stevenage, who both scored 18 times last season.
Bookings
With certain bookmakers, you can not only back certain players to score goals, but you can also back certain players to pick up bookings within the match – or you can back match cards bets, where you place bets based on how many cards you think will be shown in the game or which team will be shown more cards. George Thomason led the way for yellow cards last season, being booked 14 times for Bolton Wanderers.
Corners Taken
Corners, much like cards, have become a key component of match bets in the last few years as some bookmakers allow punters to combine bets from these two markets along with others for a specially created match multiple. You can bet on how many corners will be taken in the match, or which team will win more corners over the course of 90 minutes.
This Week’s League One Predictions
Most League One fixtures tend to take place on a Saturday afternoon, but there are also games occasionally played on Friday nights or Sunday afternoons for differing reasons, whilst the condensed nature of the fixtures this time around will see more games being played in midweek, on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, than ever before.
We look to scour all the latest League One odds a few days in advance of the game to bring you our best betting tips and predictions on each and every game. Remember, we check all of the stats, bookmakers and markets available to us in order to find you the best value for our tip to boot.
Priceboosts
Looking for some League One betting offers? There are a host of price boosts available on each and every Football League match with certain bookmakers now, meaning you can get more bang for your buck on your chosen bet or if you’re unsure on what to back, the extra value afforded from a boosted price before kick-off can help you select.
Some bookmakers will offer new customer offers with enhanced odds for certain matches, although these are rare when it comes to League One and you’re better off taking advantage of the free bet sign up bonuses on offer instead.
League One Accumulator
We love an accumulator as much as any other punter right here at Squawka Bet and there can’t be many better ways to place a multiple bet than settling down in front of a full Saturday schedule. We’ll offer a League One accumulator wherever we see value but we’ll also combine picks from across England’s top divisions quite often for an accumulator bet also.
For the best accumulator bets, you can select several different matches in the same market, the most popular being full-time result, both teams to score and over 2.5 goals. However, if you choose to, you can combine different selections on different games and this may offer the best chance of a winning accumulator rather than focusing on one specific type of bet. This can be done with many bookmakers including the newer bookmakers such as Bet UK and LiveScore Bet.
Best Bookmakers for League One
Different bookmakers have different positive aspects and it’s important to take all of these into consideration before deciding upon your League One betting strategy. Are you looking for a bookmaker that offers the best sportsbook value, or the best in-app experience, or are you looking for someone who treats high-rollers correctly with loyalty bonuses and the likes?
You’ll find League One odds available with every bookmaker worth their salt in 2022, but some of the best available are as follows:
Of course, we not only offer our betting predictions on League One and the rest of the major leagues of English football but we also offer tips on some major European leagues, UEFA competitions and even some international football. You can find a full list of our latest tips below.
It’s worth noting before you dive into your League One betting, that many bookmakers offer new customers the chance to get some massively enhanced odds or a sign-up bonus that includes free bets or other enticing welcome deals.
So before you dive into our betting tips, predictions and odds, be sure to do your research and choose a bookmaker that offers you the best in the way of League One free bets as this could get you off to a flying start with your betting account – which we’re all hoping for during the 2024/25 campaign.
