The 2025/26 League One campaign gets underway with Luton vs Wimbledon on Friday evening, and our betting tips for the clash can be backed in a 6/1 bet builder.
Having suffered back-to-back relegations from the Premier League and Championship, Luton kick off the 2025/26 League One season against Wimbledon at Kenilworth Road on Friday.
The Hatters ended last term in 22nd place in the second tier, with their demotion to the third tier being confirmed via goal difference.
Looking to bounce back immediately, Matt Bloomfield’s men have enjoyed a strong start to pre-season. They have played a total of five friendly matches, winning four and drawing one.
Wins over Boreham Wood, Triglav Kranj, Gillingham and Southend United preceded last week’s goalless stalemate against reigning Europa League champions Tottenham Hotspur.
Additionally, they have added experience and quality to their squad ahead of the new campaign, with the likes of Kal Naismith, George Saville and Nahki Wells joining the club.
Meanwhile, Wimbledon, who were promoted to League One after prevailing in the League Two playoffs at the end of last season, have played seven pre-season matches thus far.
They have beaten non-league outfits Carshalton and Enfield, drawn against Cypriot side Pafos and Championship side Watford, and have lost to Sutton, Millwall and Southend United.
It’s worth noting that the Dons boasted the best defensive record in the fourth tier last term, conceding just 35 goals. This could prove to be a stumbling block for the Hatters.
The hosts are favoured ahead of kick-off, with betting sites pricing them at 12/25 to prevail.

Luton Win to Nil @ 6/4
Despite their relegation last term, Luton boasted a decent record at home.
Having added to their squad with both experience and quality, along with retaining key players such as Elijah Adebayo and Jordan Clark, they should build on this record in League One.
The Hatters are clear favourites to come out on top at Kenilworth Road, and given the defensive nature of Wimbledon’s squad, we can’t see the visitors threatening their goal too much.
Our tip is to back Luton to win to nil, which can be backed at a price of around 6/4.
Jordan Clark to Score at Any Time @ 21/10
Clark has enjoyed an excellent pre-season, starting in each of Luton’s last four matches.
While he has also been utilised in defensive midfield and as a central midfielder, the 31-year-old has featured prominently in attacking midfield and has impressed in the position.
He netted both of the Hatters’ goals in the 2-0 win over Gillingham, off the back of a campaign where he totalled six goals and six assists in 40 appearances in the Championship.
We’re backing Clark to carry this form into the new season by scoring at any time in the opener against Wimbledon on Friday evening, priced by leading bookmakers at around 21/10.
