League 1 Predictions Today – Saturday 8th November 2025

STEVENAGE missed out on the chance to go top of League One on Thursday night by going down 1-0 at Reading.

It means three points cover the leading six sides in a fierce promotion race. This is prompting intense League One betting activity heading into another frantic weekend of action.

Here are the upcoming pairings I am anticipating most alongside considered score predictions to guide your football betting…

Stockport County v Luton Town Prediction

• Kick-off: 3pm
• Rankings: 1st versus 10th

Stockport County preview – Two clubs nicknamed the Hatters clash head on! County boast a one point cushion in first spot following seven EFL outings unbeaten winning the last four. Amazing to remind ourselves Stockport were languishing in the National League North (tier 6 of English football) as recently as 2018/19.

Luton Town preview – Six points shy of Play-Off contention. Three straight wins in all competitions so fortunes are picking up since Jack Wilshere was appointed first team manager on 13th October.

Score prediction: Hats off to both 3-3.

Bradford City v Burton Albion Prediction

• Kick-off: 3pm
• Rankings: 2nd versus 20th

Bradford City preview – A point below first place. Presently protecting seven undefeated EFL matches although the past four resulted in draws. Their solitary League loss in 2025/26 was 3-1 away to Yorkshire rivals Doncaster Rovers on Saturday 6th September. Therefore unbeaten at home, The Bantams are divisional highest scorers on 23 goals

Burton Albion preview – Three points clear of the dreaded dotted relegation line. One defeat in six ongoing League encounters which incorporated three victories.

Score prediction: Bradford ballistic 4-0.

Blackpool v Cardiff City Prediction

• Kick-off: 3pm
• Rankings: 23rd versus 3rd

Blackpool preview – Four points adrift of safety. However, new head coach Ian Evatt has masterminded two consecutive triumphs in League and FA Cup beyond his installation on 21st October thereby overturning a five match winless EFL sequence.

Cardiff City preview – A point beneath those automatic promotion rungs. Their last eight scorelines in all competitions show consistently inconsistent form – won, lost, won, lost, won, lost, won, lost. Bluebirds defender Will Fish is likely to miss Saturday’s game due to a knee problem.

Score prediction: Dreadful viewing 0-0.

Rotherham United v Lincoln City Prediction

• Kick-off: 3pm
• Rankings: 13th versus 5th

Rotherham United preview – Five unbeaten in EFL combat embracing three maximum pointers. Just one home League defeat so far – a single goal reverse against Stockport County on Saturday 20th September.

Lincoln City preview – The fourth in a programme of five successive away matches across all competitions. Lincoln hover three points under the summit. But only mustering a sole win during five League and Cup affairs. The last time they graced English football’s second tier was 1960/61.

Score prediction: Imps illuminating 3-1.

Peterborough United v AFC Wimbledon Prediction

• Kick-off: 3pm
• Rankings: 24th versus 6th

Peterborough United preview – A first League game in charge for Posh’s new manager Luke Williams. He was unveiled on 29th October replacing Darren Ferguson who had been sacked four days beforehand. Williams commenced with a 1-0 home FA Cup victory over Cardiff City last Saturday. Yet his team slumber rock bottom and six points short of the survival zone nursing three EFL defeats in four matches.

AFC Wimbledon preview – Two points ahead of the Play-Off chasing pack. Nevertheless they’ve lost their last two League 1 and Cup games without scoring. Prior to that, Wimbledon enjoyed a seven match undefeated spree in all competitions.

Score prediction: Dons’ delight 1-0.

Huddersfield Town v Plymouth Argyle Prediction

• Kick-off: 3pm
• Rankings: 9th versus 22nd

Huddersfield Town preview – These two sides featured highly among pre-season promotion favourite odds. Huddersfield have produced one win in six EFL engagements whilst losing the last three.

Plymouth Argyle preview – Four defeats on the spin within all competitions capping five matches bereft of victory. So the Pilgrims possess a three point deficit to climb out of the relegation danger area. On Wednesday, experienced former Cardiff City midfielder Joe Ralls signed a short-term contract until January as a free agent. Even so, I expect Argyle head coach Tom Cleverley to be sacked imminently.

Score prediction: Terriers terrific 5-2.
