How to Use EFL League One Betting Stats
The first tab of the EFL League One table is all about betting stats. You can see a list of markets, with a percentage showing how likely that market is to be correct. You can filter it by home and away, all games or recent form, and by specific amounts in each market.
You can use the football betting stats by searching for the highest percentage on a given market. For example, there have been over 1.5 goals scored in 88% of Blackpool’s games, worthy of a punt.
EFL League One Betting Stats You Should Consider
There are a few EFL League One stats that must be evaluated when betting. We’re listing a few below.
Over 1.5 Goals Scored
Across the last 5 seasons, over 71% of matches have ended with over 1.5 goals. That’s a good average, and some teams even exceed 80% across the season. Check out the EFL League One top scorers and bet on those teams.
Over 1.5 Cards
The lower down the leagues you go, the more cards are awarded. Around 2,000 cards per season are shown in League One. Most teams will have over 60% of games feature over 1.5 cards.
Both Teams to Score – No
League One has a low rate of games in which both teams score. Only 11 teams have over 50% BTTS, the rest have even less, with a few clubs having less than 40%. The EFL League One scores show this.
Trends Shaping EFL League One Current Season
As the season reaches final stages, we can spot a few trends that may help you bet on the last matches of the season.
-
Wigan have scored and conceded some of the fewest goals this season, with their last 5 EFL League One results being 0-1(W), 0-0(D), 1-1(0), 0-0(D) and 0-1(L). Betting on low goal markets is ideal.
-
Huddersfield Town have, by far, the most corners in their matches, totalling 282, or 6.5 per match (0.6 more than second place). They’ve also had a dreadful time lately, losing 4 of their last 5 EFL League One games. Betting on match corners, or corners against, could be a good shout.
7 EFL League One Betting Stats to Back Your Wagers
Here are a few EFL League One stats that could give you some more insight into the type of league we’re looking at. All the data is taken from the 24/25 season.
The average is just over 2.5 goals scored per match, which is already a great betting market. There’s also an average of 35.4 minutes per goal, meaning if a first half ends 0-0, the match is likely due a goal.
This has happened 10.7% of the time or 55 times. 1-1 and 1-0 also occurred 52 times. A BTTS or over 1.5 goals seem good bets in League One.
167 matches (32.6%) have ended the first half goalless. That’s miles ahead from 1-0, which happened 99 times. Second half goals proving to be a good choice once again.
There have been 266 out of 525 games that have ended with both teams scoring. If you find matches with BTTS odds over 2/1, those may be good odds based on these stats.
43% home wins, compared to 24% draws, and 32% away wins. The home advantage is clear, but away wins give you higher odds, so there could be more value there.
There have been 1,900 cards dished out so far. An over 1.5 cards is good, even though betting on the under might hold more value.
That’s a good average. We suggest betting on over 8.5 corners to be safe, although some teams average much higher. Huddersfield and Barnsley are averaging just over 11 corners per game.
EFL League One Player & Team Stats
A punter without stats is a Knight without his shining armour, and we’ve provided you with the Excalibur of EFL League One player stats. With 20 markets to choose from and the ability to filter by position, you’ve got all you need.
When it comes to team stats, there are 15 markets available, each with their own submarkets, which you can use to make more well-informed bets. You can check them out as a total, or ‘per game’. Per game is useful for over or under betting on corners and cards.
EFL League One Top Performers
Since the League is close to the end, the highlights for EFL League One players are clear. Here are a few of the standouts, which could be worth a punt on next season, or for any transfer specials.
Top Scorer
21 goals, Charlie Kelman, Leyton Orient. The Orient’s star striker has pushed them from mid-table to the EFL League One play-offs during this second season on loan at the club.
Top Assists
9 assists. Three players are topping the charts: Jamie Donley (Leyton Orient), Ryan Barnett (Wrexham) and Malik Mothersille (Peterborough United). The first two players are fighting for promotion, while the third is a big reason that Peterborough are safe in the league.
Top Clean Sheets
18, Sam Tickle, Wigan. Wigan are currently in 15th, and that’s only thanks to their relatively brilliant defensive record.
Top Pass Accuracy
67.6 (88%) passes per game, Christopher Klarer, Birmingham City. The top 4 for pass accuracy are all defenders for Birmingham. That’s total dominance in the EFL League One player stats.
Attacking & Defensive Team Records
Looking back at all the EFL League One results, we can get a good picture of which teams are standing out, from the obvious to the slightly more surprising.
Top Attacking Team
Birmingham City. They’re currently top for goals scored: 75; and chances created: 114. They’re also third and fourth for total shots and shots on target. They have dominated the league and are on course for a points record.
Top Defensive Team
Birmingham City. No surprise here, as they’ve conceded the fewest goals and have the third most clean sheets: 19. Their four defenders also top the pass accuracy charts. No wonder they already confirmed EFL League One promotion.
Dark Horses
Sat in 15th, Wigan have only conceded 39 goals. Only three teams have bettered that, so they are worth a punt on low scores. Conversely, Barnsley and Bolton have scored and conceded over 60 goals each, perfect for BTTS betting.
EFL League One Referee Stats
Referees play a huge part in the match, and EFL League One results could shift massively at the sound of a whistle. We’ve got stats on the number of cards, fouls and pens a referee has given. You can also check them out per match.
The value here is in finding referees who are either more strict or lenient and betting on that. For example: Ben Toner has averaged 5 cards per game, well above other referees, so you can bet on over 3.5 cards for his matches.
How Do Refs Influence Betting Markets?
Referees have a direct influence on many markets related to cards, fouls, and penalties. They make these decisions, therefore their style of referring impacts EFL League One games. Here’s a couple of examples:
-
Simon Mather has given 5 red cards out this season, averaging 0.31 per game. If he’s refereeing a match with teams who already receive a lot of cards, this might indicate good value to bet on a red card.
-
Will Finnie has only averaged 2.4 yellow cards across his 10 games officiated. Even his foul rate is low, at 22.8 per game. His style of play is more lenient, so betting on an ‘under’ cards bet could be a good idea.
Analysing EFL League One Standings & Fixtures
Our EFL League One standings tab is brilliant. It's detailed, with wins, draws, losses, goals for and against, and points. But the best part is the form guide, showing you each team’s record over the last 5 games.
