What the expert says...
Three teams share favouritism to be relegated from League One
Odds are also given for who will be relegated from League One this season and there are three teams that sit at the top of the betting market at 13/8.
Cheltenham, Carlisle and Cambridge are all 13/8 to go down this season, with Fleetwood at 2/1 and Wigan at 9/4 wrapping up the top five of the betting.
Wigan will start the season on -8 points due to various salary breaches but despite that they are 5th favourites to go down to League Two this season.
The True Cost of Supporting an EFL Team
Portsmouth striker Colby Bishop is favourite to finish top scorer in the league
Colby Bishop is once again expected to have a big season in League One this year after his first season at Portsmouth ended up with him scoring 20 goals in the league.
Bishop joined Pompey last summer for an undisclosed fee from Accrington Stanley and instantly found his scoring boots with an impressive debut season at the club.
His 20 goals saw him finish joint fourth in the Golden Boot race last season alongside Alfie May, with David McGoldrick, Jonson Clarke-Harris and Conor Chaplin finishing above him.
This season though it's Bishop who is the early favourite to finish top scorer with bookies expecting him to have another big season at Pompey.
| League One Golden Boot 23/24 | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Colby Bishop | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Jonson Clarke-Harris | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Alfie May | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Dion Charles | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Kabongo Tshimanga | 12/1 | 7.7% |
