Latest League One Odds: Full Steam Ahead

This weekend, League One threw us a few more interesting results, as we have come to expect now! The top has changed, once again, whilst teams at the bottom only cemented themselves further.

Close at the Top

At the top of League One, there are quite a few teams competing. In fact, the top six is more a case of five title fighters and then the other, given there is a two-point gap separating the teams.

So, after this weekend's games, it is Stevenage who sit top of the League One table. A 2-0 win against Luton is huge and shows that they are right to be considered among the best teams in the division.

In addition to this, they have a game in hand, so they could create a bit of a gap themselves in the next few weeks.

Following them is Bradford City, who drew their first game in a while, disappointingly for them, against Rotherham on a Thursday night (a questionable time for a game). The Millers were actually two goals up, so to claw it back to 2-2 is a decent result.

Cardiff got the better of Leyton Orient this weekend in a fantastic seven-goal thriller, probably the best game of the weekend in any division. The hosts scored two goals in quick succession to turn the game around, and remain the favourites to win League One at 57/17.

Lincoln dropped a little bit after their 1-0 defeat to Exeter City, who won in a true 'smash and grab' fashion. Elsewhere, Wimbledon's fine form continued as they won a fourth successive game, getting a 2-0 result away to Blackpool.

Chance Lasted

Well, last week I thought the odds among the top six teams were fantastic, but they have really closed themselves off a little bit this weekend. There are now seven teams priced at Evens or below, which is a bit boring.

We'll start with the last team in that mix, Huddersfield, who actually sit in sixth after this weekend. However, their loss to Stockport has certainly led to a few questions in the fanbase. It is a first loss at the Accu, but doubts are emerging.

They sit at Evens, whilst the team that beat them with 10 men, Stockport, sit ahead of them in the odds list at 4/5 to finish top 6. That is certainly a bit questionable in terms of value.

Lincoln, interestingly, sit at 5/2 in the odds list, which I am quite intrigued by, considering they have been largely impressive thus far. So that could be a price to consider.

Elsewhere, Luton are the third favourites for a Top Six spot, despite them being three points away from sixth and sitting in 11th. It is somewhat understandable, given the gap is not that big. However, they should not be that price, I don't think.

Red, Grey, Green?

This weekend's results were not too surprising, really. At least towards the bottom.

Peterborough United were beaten narrowly by Bolton Wanderers away from home, which was probably expected before the start of the weekend. It means they stay at the rock bottom of the league, with odds of 4/6 to make the drop.

Ahead of them is Blackpool, who were beaten by a top-six contender, Wimbledon. It is their seventh defeat of the season, but only their second at Bloomfield Road. Despite this, the loss was seen as enough reason to sack Steve Bruce.

The draw on Thursday night has helped Rotherham United rise a place. Whilst you could argue it was a good result, they dropped a two-goal lead at home. Whichever way you look at it, that fact is worrying.

Finally, Burton were able to grab a draw against Doncaster in one of the early kick-offs. Not a great game by any means, but that is what the Brewers will have to be like away from home. Solid enough.

Outside of the drop zone, Exeter have managed to create a bit of a gap from the bottom, thanks to their win against Lincoln. If they can build on it, they could build something away from the bottom four.
