League Two stats and tips
Fleetwood v Barrow - Both Teams To Score - yes
Supporters at Highbury Stadium may be banking on goals galore on Saturday, and they're right to, if Fleetwood Town's past record is anything to go by. There have been a goal in both nets in 22 of their 31 League Two fixtures this season, more than any side in the competition.
Swindon v Crewe - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
If you fancy a thriller on Saturday lunch time, then the clash between Swindon Town and Crewe Alexandra could be the one for you. I. Holloway's team lead League Two in most matches with at least 3 goals scored so far this season. 21 of their League Two games have already gone that way. With a record like that, surely only a defensive masterclass from L. Bell's men could prevent more of the same.
Accrington v Shrewsbury - Double Chance - home win or draw
Shrewsbury Town have found something of a bogey team in Accrington Stanley in the league in recent years. The two sides have met on 8 occasions since 2020, and Accrington Stanley have gone unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Wham Stadium could be another hard one for M. Appleton & co.
Bristol R v Grimsby - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
Bristol Rovers will be looking to avoid adding to the 12 games they have already lost at both HT and FT this campaign when they face Grimsby Town on Saturday. D. Clarke's team already lead the rest of League Two in that area, and won't want to make it any worse. Opposing boss D. Artell , on the other hand, will be feeling very differently.
Cheltenham v Salford - Both Teams To Score & Result - away
Cheltenham Town will be aware that 1 goal probably won't be enough to claim victory over Salford City on Saturday afternoon. K. Robinson's team have the best record in League Two when it comes to conceding yet still claiming victory (11 of their 30 games), so focusing on defence might be the best course of action for S. Cotterill and his Cheltenham Town charges at Jonny-Rocks Stadium.
Colchester v Barnet - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring fixtures aren't always entirely dull, but fans of Colchester United have had lots of chances to test that theory this term. 22 of their side's encounters in League Two have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will D. Brennan and his Barnet team be able to inject spice into this match on Saturday? Or will it be yet another low scoring affair?
Crawley v Chesterfield - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw
Checkatrade.com Stadium is the venue as Chesterfield and Crawley Town meet on Saturday afternoon, in what could prove to be a proper ding-dong battle. P. Cook's side have the highest number of score draws of any club in the competition - 12 in 32 matches. An extension of that record is available at 4.33.
Gillingham v Oldham - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw
It might not be a record they're especially enamoured with, but Oldham Athletic currently lead all opponents in League Two when it comes to matches where they've been drawing at both halftime and fulltime this term, with their tally now at 8 in 30 outings. They will put that unwanted consistency to the test versus Gillingham at Priestfield Stadium on Saturday, in a fixture that could see yet another dead heat.
Harrogate v Bromley - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Bromley have enjoyed plenty of success on their travels over the years, and our intrepid tipsters evidentally believe they can find more, as 8 of them are backing A. Woodman and his side to earn away win as they visit Harrogate Town at Cng Stadium in League Two on Saturday afternoon. Some may question that, as home wins or more common, but that's where the consensus lies. If you felt the urge to go with the same bet, 1.73 is about the best value you’ll find.
Newport v Cambridge - Double Chance - away win or draw
Newport County have found something of a bogey team in Cambridge United in the League Two in recent years. The two teams have played on 5 occasions since 2019, and Cambridge United have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Rodney Parade could be a really difficult one for D. Hughes & co.
Notts C v Tranmere - Win / Draw / Win - home win
A simple tally suggests our tipsters have a great deal of belief in M. Paterson and his managerial skills, and ability to claim victory for Notts County on Saturday afternoon. 7 have bet on him to inspire his lads to beat Tranmere Rovers. It's all eyes on the home boss now to see if he can indeed deliver.
Walsall v MK Dons - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
M. Sadler won't be looking forward to facing MK Dons in League Two on Monday. P. Warne's side have been winning at the break and gone on to secure the win at FT more frequently than any other club in the League Two this season - 14 times in total. That record suggests it may be a difficult night for Walsall, and that backing MK Dons in the halftime fulltime market would be a great shout at odds of 4.00.
Accrington v Barnet - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
Common or not, every football fan loves to see a match in which 5 goals or more are scored, but Barnet's dedicated fans have now been waiting 24 games to watch their club deliver one. That’s too long by anyone’s count. Could the streak come to an end on Saturday afternoon, as they face J. Doolan's Accrington Stanley at Wham Stadium? With odds of 1.10 on there being 4 goals or fewer being scored, the bookmakers clearly have their doubts.
Salford v Shrewsbury - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
We all love a thriller, and we might just get another when Salford City and Shrewsbury Town meet on Tuesday evening in League Two. K. Robinson and M. Appleton's sides have shown they know their way to goal, and KO's well-informed tipsters fancy them to demonstrate that at Moor Lane. 5 of them have backed the match to contain 3 goals or more during the 90 mins. 1.70 is the most-enticing price in our betslip for their suggestion, and there will be a lot of happy faces around if it does deliver.
Barrow v Gillingham - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like backing goals and choosing a winner, then the upcoming clash between Barrow and Gillingham could warrant a closer look. A. Whing's side have lost 10 games this term in which both sides have scored. That's a record in League Two.
Bromley v Oldham - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Our buzzing hive of football tipsters clearly has a lot of optimism around A. Woodman and his chances of delivering victory for Bromley on Sunday afternoon. 19 have predicted him to guide his lads to beat Oldham Athletic. Here's hoping that their faith in him isn't misplaced.
Chesterfield v Colchester - Double Chance - away win or draw
Chesterfield have consistently struggled against Colchester United in the league in recent years. The two clubs have met on 7 occasions since 2015, and Colchester United have gone unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Proact Stadium could be another hard one for P. Cook & co.
Newport v Tranmere - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
Entertainment is the name of the game, and there's reason to expect plenty of it when Newport County and Tranmere Rovers clash on Sunday afternoon in League Two. D. Hughes and A. Crosby's squads are more than talented enough to score in this fixture, and KickOff's well-informed bettors fancy them to demonstrate that at Rodney Parade. 7 of them are tipping there to be at least 3 goals in total. 1.85 is the most-enticing price in our betslip for that suggestion, and our tipsters won't be the only ones taking it at that price.
Walsall v Fleetwood - Over / Under 1.5 Goals - under
There are some supporters who enjoy the tactical battle of a low-scoring fixture, and they should probably keep an eye on Walsall v Fleetwood Town. Each of Fleetwood Town's last 3 League Two outings has had under 1.5 goals, and that streak looks set to continue.
Barrow v Bristol R - Both Teams To Score - yes
Barrow supporters have come to expect drama at each end when their side plays in League Two, with both teams having found the net in all of their last 5 games. Bristol Rovers on Sunday afternoon could be another ding-dong battle.
Cambridge v Grimsby - Win / Draw / Win - home win
A simple tally suggests our tipsters have a great deal of belief in N. Harris and his chances of delivering a win for Cambridge United on Sunday afternoon. 22 have bet on him to propel his lads to beat Grimsby Town. It's all eyes on the home boss now to see if he can indeed deliver.
Oldham v Notts C - Double Chance - home win or draw
M. Mellon and his Oldham Athletic side have gained a handy way of getting something from pretty much every League Two match they play. They're unbeaten in 5 in League Two now, so M. Paterson and his Notts County side will need to be on top of their game if they're to stand any chance at Boundary Park on Saturday.
Barrow v Oldham - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Neutrals might want to stay away from this Tuesday's clash between Barrow and Oldham Athletic, that's if KickOff's members are correct. They aren't expecting lots of goalmouth action, with 5 of them backing this one to finish with under 2.5 total goals scored.
Colchester v Accrington - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Colchester United and Accrington Stanley have played out a number of tight clashes in recent years. With each of their last 6 League Two matches having under 2.5 goals, the strikers picked by D. Cowley and J. Doolan may be going home disappointed on afternoon.
