EFL League One Outright Title Winner, Promotion and Relegation odds

EFL League One Outright Title Winner, Promotion and Relegation odds as we look at the 2023/24 season.

With the 2022/23 campaign now over, our attention turns to the next one and who is being tipped to reach the Championship and fall to League Two.

The new campaign will be the 20th edition of the EFL League One under its current title and the 32nd season under its current league division format.

24 teams will compete in the league – 17 returning teams from the previous season, 3 teams relegated from the Championship and 4 teams promoted from League Two.

On the 19th of May 2023, Wigan Athletic were deducted four points for salary breaches, with another four-point deduction suspended, and a week later, they received a further four-point deduction.

@Adamsowerby1991:
Barnsley derby reading for top 3
Bolton Portsmouth Blackpool play offs

@alfiemeek1: Portsmouth, for the love of god, surely it’s time

@reece_w99: Few early shouts…Barnsley to win the league, Lincoln to make play offs and Pompey to do absolutely nothing. Again.

@RoryPeter7: Absolutely 0 excuses this season. Not a single 1. We have to be in the championship next season, this is as good a chance as we’re going to get. Which means we’ll be 12th and managed less by Christmas. Up the Blues. #pompey

@MatthewWinder: Top 6, no less #utmp ��

@ryandCAFC: Sort the ownership out ffs this league is so winnable #cafc

@joshmontage656: Hopefully Pompey come up this year, close away game for me

@law_Salter: This is a very winnable league next year. Need #CAFC sorted sharpish.

@jpuddifoot: This is the easiest League One there has been in a long old time. Carlisle are in the league which means it’s our destiny to go up. Anything other than promotion has to be seen as a massive underachievement. I can’t wait to see how we bugger it up. #cafc

@AdamDcfc6_CM19: If we dont get top 2 �� Us Bolton and Bpool only teams who stand out

@cafc_h: #cafc #pompey to finally go up?

@Brad_Pittick99: We gotta be challenging this season surely!!! Weakest league we’ve had in years #OUFC

@Chaz99: That is a disgusting league n we’re winning the lot #dcfc

@CharlieStorUTB: Just saying if Derby county don’t walk this league it’ll be the funniest thing to happen in Football in a while �� Easiest league in a LONG time. Same with Portsmouth

@SkhTrains: No team we should fear next season. Fancy us for autos #bwfc

@AdamShaww96: SURELY it’s time for Portsmouth to get promoted from that league

@a_bs1871: 100 points. 100 goals. #readingfc

@TheValiants1876: If we play our cards right and AC is backed properly there should be no reason why we can’t finish comfortably in mid table. The league doesn’t look as scary for some reason this time around #PVFC

@col3y130: Announce promotion #ECFC

@Josh_Beesley03: Barnsley Bolton up and Blackpool by playoffs

@ethan95809593: Pompey, derby, Barnsley all go up btw ��

@stuart_harcombe: If we don’t go up or at least challenge and get in the playoffs at a minimum next season then I give up. Best chance in years. Us Derby and Barnsley surely!!

@GeorgeMurfet_: 4 new grounds and a playoff push. Let’s have it #cafc

@TimScales94: Honestly look at this and see no reason why Orient shouldn’t be aiming for top half

@Keironpfc20: The easiest the league has been on paper for a while and we’ll still probably finish 10th. �� #pompey

@tomcod2000: At minimum we should achieve play offs. Alot weaker league than this season #cafc

@charliefyfield: Probably the deadest league in england. Pompey need to get themselves out of that shit

@WAFCtabs: Probably the weakest league 1 division there’s been for a while, but with our club in absolute tatters financially and starting on -8, I’d snatch your hand off at staying up. But, under any other circumstances, should be winning this league with over 100 points #wafc

@PazzaSAFC: Surely it’s about time Pompey make their comeback? Would like to see them up good fans and good ground to go to, although I don’t miss getting absolutely thrashed off them every time we play there ��

@WeAreThePosh: What an absolutely awful league. Can’t wait to finish 13th �� ��

@ConCowan9: If we finally get recruitment right we could actually do something next season… (BIG ‘If’ though) #oufc
