League Two Predictions & Betting Tips

League Two is one of the most competitive football leagues in all of Europe. The 46-game season can either end in joy for four lucky teams as they reach promotion to League One or in despair as two unlucky sides plunge into Non-League football. The 2024-25 season promises to be another thrilling campaign as all 24 teams battle it out for promotion to League One. Here are our latest League Two betting tips.

League Two 2024-25 Best Predictions

League Two is well away from the bright lights of the Premier League betting predictions and EFL Championship. It is a league in which teams grind out results and financial disparities can see a gulf in class on and off the pitch. This week, there is another full League Two fixture slate to enjoy and we’ve picked out some of our favourite predictions from the division’s latest matchday.

Chesterfield vs Notts County: Notts County or draw @ 4/5 (1.80)

Chesterfield have made a solid start back to life in the Football League under the experienced hand of Paul Cook but Notts County, who are a year further along in their return to professional football, are enjoying an even better season; we don’t see County losing here. Notts County are undefeated away from home all season with three draws and four wins to their name. Chesterfield meanwhile are unbeaten at home during the campaign but have notably only won one of their six played at the SMH Group Stadium.

MK Dons vs Port Vale: Draw & both teams to score – Yes @ 7/2 (4.50)

Our second League Two betting tip comes from MK Dons vs Port Vale and we’re backing the match to end level but with both teams scoring as an added odds boost. MK Dons have not lost any of their last four games but have drawn three of those matches – coincidentally all with a 1-1 scoreline – whilst Port Vale are unbeaten in seven but with two of their last four also ending in draws; both of those draws have featured goals at both end. As for the head to head record, the last five games have seen both teams win twice with the deciding match of the five ending level with a goal apiece scored.

Doncaster vs Crewe: Both teams to score – No @ 10/11 (1.91)

We wrap up our League Two predictions in the both teams to score market and we’re betting on the ‘no’ outcome. Doncaster have not seen both teams score in any of their last three matches whilst only one of Crewe’s last five games have featured goals at both ends. As for the head to head record, again, only one of the last five clashes have produced goals for both sides.

League Two 2023-24 Recap

The League Two campaign was a story of “back to backs” at both ends of the table. Hollywood backed Wrexham wrote another film for their series finishing second behind the mighty impressive Stockport to secure two consecutive promotions taking them from non-league to the third tier. Mansfield joined those two in the automatic promotion spots with a fairly comfortable cushion over fourth place. As for the playoffs, it was the two lowest ranked sides – Crawley and Crewe – that made it to the Wembley showpiece with Danilo Orsi firing the former to promotion. At the other end of the standings, Colchester flirted hard with the relegation spots but eventually did enough to stay up. That saw Sutton United and Forest Green slip out of the Football League. For Forest Green, it represented back to back relegations; it’s remarkable to think FGR and Ipswich were in the same league just 12 months ago and now they have three entire leagues between them. The rollercoaster of the English Football League, eh? It’s worth giving a quick word on the scoring charts too. Macaulay Langstaff topped the list with 28 goals for Notts County, which is a remarkable return considering County ended the season in 14th place. Similarly Salford’s Matt Smith netted 24 as his side flirted with relegation to tie with Paul Mullin of Wrexham to round out the top three. Orsi, who we’ve touched on already, and Davis Keillor-Dunn also played key roles in their respective sides promotion campaigns. The odds for League Two betting markets are subject to change depending on results and sportsbook offers. Before placing your bet on one of these great League Two markets, double-check the odds with your preferred sports bookie.

League Two Betting Tips

The League Two season is a long, marathon campaign of 46 games per team. The top three clubs are promoted automatically while teams four through seven make the playoffs. As long as a club finishes the regular season in the top 7, there is the chance they could achieve promotion to League One. Major sportsbooks provide a range of League Two betting markets from pre-game moneyline bets to individual player offers. One of the most popular bets to make on lower league football – other than the moneyline bet – is the over/under wager. Unlike the Premier League, League Two’s assortment of clubs may be more likely to beat up on each other. Player quality can also affect the number of goals scored and conceded. Accumulators remain one of the favourite ways to bet on League Two football. The amount of fun offered by an accumulator is through the roof. For a small stake, punters have the chance to make large profits. To learn more on betting tips for football daily, head to our article on football betting tips today.
