League Two Gameweek 44 tips
We’ve been crunching the numbers ahead of the League Two action this weekend and come up with two singles that could see profit this weekend as well as an accumulator that we think stands a good chance of coming in.
Colchester United look like a fantastic bet to secure all three points when they take on Harrogate Town this weekend. The U’s currently sit 12th in League Two, boasting a solid home record with 10 wins from their fixtures in Essex. They have scored 58 goals this season, highlighting their attacking capability, whilst maintaining a positive goal difference.
Conversely, Harrogate Town find themselves languishing at the very bottom of the table in 24th place, enduring a truly torrid campaign. The Yorkshire outfit have managed a mere five wins on the road all season and possess a dismal goal difference of -31, having conceded 66 times in 43 matches. With Colchester aiming to finish their season strongly and Harrogate struggling desperately for form and confidence, backing a comfortable away victory for the U’s represents excellent value in this encounter.
Bristol Rovers look a great value bet to claim all three points when they travel to Prenton Park to face Tranmere Rovers this weekend. The Gas, currently sitting 15th in League Two, have been in resurgent form recently, boasting an impressive five wins from their last six matches. Their recent 3-2 away victory over Harrogate highlights a team brimming with confidence and attacking intent, having scored 49 goals this campaign.
In stark contrast, Tranmere Rovers find themselves in a precarious 20th position, enduring a dismal run of form with just one win in their last ten outings. Their defensive frailties are evident, having conceded 72 goals this season, giving them a woeful goal difference of -23. With Bristol Rovers carrying significant momentum and Tranmere struggling desperately to keep the ball out of their net, backing an away victory for the Pirates represents excellent value in this encounter.
Three potential winners in League Two this weekend
MK Dons or Crewe
There’s a massive game at the right end of the League Two table this weekend and picking a winner looks to be near impossible. MK Dons and Crewe are separated by thirteen points but both are in pole position for promotion.
A win for either side would be a statement of intent in the title race and has the added bonus of denting the other’s momentum. The Dons are the division’s highest scorers with 79 goals, while Crewe arrive having won three of their last four matches.
Notts County or Barnet
That isn’t the only massive game in the promotion fight this weekend, though. Notts County and Barnet also face off on Saturday, both sitting within touching distance of the playoff spots.
Neither has been particularly consistent over the full season but both have found their groove recently, with Barnet scoring five in their last away trip. This looks a wide open contest and a win for either side could see them move firmly into the top seven as the season reaches its climax.
Aaron Drinan
The Swindon Town frontman is sitting on 20 goals for the season and has been the driving force behind their recent resurgence. He’ll be desperate to add to that tally and help his side climb further towards the top spots before the campaign concludes.
Swindon come up against a struggling Accrington Stanley side this weekend and are the form team in the division. Accrington have lost their last two outings and are hovering dangerously close to the drop zone. It’s a great chance for Drinan to lead the line and continue his impressive scoring streak at the County Ground.
Three potential losers in League Two this weekend
Harrogate Town or Colchester United
Harrogate Town find themselves rooted to the bottom of League Two, and this weekend’s clash against mid-table Colchester United offers little respite. With the worst goal difference in the division and a staggering 66 goals conceded, Harrogate are in a perilous position. A loss here would be a crushing blow to their already slim survival hopes, especially against a Colchester side that, while not challenging for promotion, will be keen to solidify their mid-table standing. The pressure is immense, and another defeat could see them drift further adrift.
Cheltenham Town or Newport County
Newport County are teetering on the brink of the relegation zone, currently sitting 22nd and only out of the bottom two on goal difference. Their trip to Cheltenham Town, who are enjoying a three-game unbeaten run, presents a formidable challenge. Newport have struggled for consistency throughout the season, conceding 73 goals, and face an in-form opponent. An unexpected loss for Newport could see them plunge into the automatic relegation spots, making this a high-stakes encounter where a defeat would be devastating.
Crawley Town or Shrewsbury Town
Crawley Town are another side deeply embroiled in the relegation dogfight, occupying 21st place with just 37 points. They face Shrewsbury Town, who are 19th and looking to pull away from the danger zone themselves. Crawley’s recent form has been inconsistent, and a home defeat could prove disastrous, allowing direct rivals to gain ground. This fixture is a true six-pointer, and the psychological impact of a loss for Crawley could be immense, leaving them even more vulnerable in the season’s final stretch.
