EFL League Two – Gameweek 46 preview as final day looms

The final day of the League Two side arrives this weekend and, with it, comes the confirmation of sides that will be playing playoff football and those who will have their relegation confirmed.

Either MK Dons or Bromley will be confirmed as champions this weekend, while the League Two playoff race will be finalised with three teams still in contention for just two places in the top six.

The opposite end of the table is still wide open, too. There are no sides confirmed to be playing non-league football next season and Newport County, Crawley Town, Harrogate Town and Barrow will all be hoping to find the points they need to secure their safety.

League Two Gameweek 46 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.

Milton Keynes Dons look like a fantastic bet to secure all three points when they take on Fleetwood Town this weekend. The Dons currently sit top of League Two, and they have shown a relentless consistency as they battle to secure the league title. With 24 wins overall this season and a fierce determination to clinch the championship on the final day, MK Dons will be highly motivated to capitalise on any lapses from the hosts.

Conversely, Fleetwood Town find themselves in 15th place, and their recent home form has been a significant cause for concern. The Cod Army have struggled for consistency at Highbury Stadium, recently suffering a heavy 5-2 defeat to Barnet that highlighted their defensive vulnerabilities. With MK Dons aiming to finish their campaign as champions and Fleetwood potentially lacking the same level of urgency as they drift in mid-table, backing a determined away victory for the league leaders represents excellent value in this encounter.

Barnet look like a fantastic bet to secure all three points when they take on Harrogate Town this weekend. The Bees currently sit 9th in League Two, but they have shown a devastating attacking flair in recent weeks as they look to finish their campaign on a high. With a staggering 14 goals scored in their last three outings – including emphatic 6-2 and 5-2 victories – Barnet will be highly motivated to capitalise on any lapses from the struggling hosts.

Conversely, Harrogate Town find themselves in 23rd place, and their defensive record has been a significant cause for concern throughout this relegation-threatened season. The Town have struggled for consistency at the EnviroVent Stadium, and facing the league’s most clinical attack while anchored in the bottom two represents a daunting challenge. With Barnet playing with total freedom and Harrogate potentially buckling under the immense pressure of the drop, backing a determined away victory for the Bees represents excellent value in this encounter.

Three potential winners in League Two this weekend

MK Dons

There’s a massive game at the right end of the League Two table this weekend as MK Dons travel to Fleetwood Town with the title in their sights. The Dons currently sit top of the pile, holding a slender one-point lead over Bromley, and know that a victory will guarantee them the championship. Having already secured automatic promotion, Paul Warne’s side are playing with immense confidence and have shown a relentless streak in recent weeks. Facing a mid-table Fleetwood side with little left to play for, the league leaders are highly motivated to finish their campaign as champions and should have too much quality for the hosts.

Barnet

That isn’t the only significant clash on the final day, though. Barnet head to Harrogate Town in what has become a showcase of their devastating attacking prowess. The Bees have been in scintillating form recently, finding their groove at the perfect time and scoring a staggering 14 goals across their last three matches. While Harrogate are fighting for their lives at the bottom of the table, they face the daunting task of containing a Barnet front line that is currently the most clinical in the division. With the north London side playing with total freedom and momentum, they look well-placed to sign off their regular season with another emphatic away victory.

Salford City

Salford City find themselves in a high-stakes encounter this Saturday as they take on Crawley Town, with automatic promotion still a mathematical possibility. The Ammies sit in 4th place, just one point behind Cambridge United, and must win to pile the pressure on the top three. While Crawley are battling to avoid the drop, Salford’s superior squad depth and recent defensive resilience make them formidable opponents. With the incentive of potentially snatching a top-three spot on the final day, or at the very least securing the best possible seeding for the playoffs, Salford are expected to lead from the front and secure all three points against the struggling Reds.

Three potential losers in League Two this weekend

Harrogate Town

Harrogate Town face a daunting final day as they host a Barnet side that has been scoring for fun in recent weeks. The Town find themselves in 23rd place and are essentially staring down the barrel of relegation, needing a victory and a favorable swing of results elsewhere to survive. However, their defensive vulnerabilities have been laid bare throughout the campaign, and coming up against a Barnet team that has netted 14 goals in their last three outings is the worst possible scenario. While the EnviroVent Stadium will be packed with hopeful fans, the sheer gulf in momentum and clinical finishing suggests Harrogate will struggle to keep the Bees at bay.

Crawley Town

Crawley Town are another side teetering on the edge of the abyss as they prepare to welcome high-flying Salford City. Sitting just above the drop zone on goal difference, the Reds are in desperate need of points, but their recent form has been patchy at best. In Salford, they face an opponent still harbouring ambitions of automatic promotion and one that possesses significantly more squad depth and tactical flexibility. With the pressure of the relegation battle weighing heavily on the home side and Salford needing a win to potentially leapfrog into the top three, Crawley look set for a difficult afternoon at the Broadfield Stadium.

Barrow

Barrow’s survival hopes are hanging by the thinnest of threads as they prepare for their final-day clash with Newport County. Anchored to the bottom of the table, the Bluebirds effectively need a miracle to escape the drop, including a massive goal-difference swing that looks increasingly improbable. While Newport have had their own struggles on the road, they have shown enough resilience in key moments to suggest they can navigate this fixture professionally. For Barrow, the requirement to “go for broke” and attack from the outset is likely to leave them exposed at the back, and a seasoned Newport side will be more than happy to capitalise on those gaps to condemn the hosts to defeat.
