Saturday's League Two predictions including Accrington vs. Wrexham

sportsmole.co.uk, 18 November 2023, 06:10
Notts County vs. Bradford (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Both looking to end runs of consecutive defeats, Notts County and Bradford City will do battle at Meadow Lane on Saturday.

On the back of two straight losses, the hosts have dropped to fifth spot in the League Two table, while their visitors now sit 18th having suffered a defeat in their first game under the new management of Graham Alexander last time out.

We say: Notts County 2-0 Bradford City

Both teams possess plenty of quality throughout their squads and will fight to bounce back from runs of defeats, but given their strong start to the season and with home advantage on their side, we envisage Notts County being too much for the Bantams at Meadow Lane and taking all three points.

Accrington vs. Wrexham (Saturday, 3.00pm)

On the hunt for a sixth successive victory across all competitions, Wrexham travel to The Wham Stadium to take on Accrington Stanley in Saturday's League Two battle.

The hosts enter the contest on the back of an FA Cup first-round replay defeat to Doncaster Rovers, while the visitors most recently overcame Gillingham 2-0 in fourth-tier action.

We say: Accrington Stanley 0-2 Wrexham

Wrexham may possess one of the worst attacking records away from home in the top half of the League Two table, but Parkinson's stingy defence should have no problems keeping an out-of-sorts Accrington team at bay.

With injuries also rearing their ugly heads for the hosts, a replenished Wrexham crop boosted by the return of a well-rested Mullin should stroll to a sixth successive victory this weekend.

Barrow vs. Crawley (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Barrow will be aiming to record a fifth successive win in all competitions when they host Crawley Town in League Two on Saturday.

The visitors, meanwhile, returned to winning ways by dispatching Accrington Stanley last weekend.

We say: Barrow 1-0 Crawley Town

Barrow have kept a clean sheet in each of their last three leagues games, gaining five points from those fixtures, and we can envisage a similar scenario against Crawley on Saturday.

Both teams have punched above their weight so far this season, but with Telford likely to be extremely motivated against his former employers, we expect the hosts to keep their winning streak going.

Forest Green vs. Grimsby Town (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Fresh from their midweek triumphs against non-league teams in the FA Cup, League Two duo Forest Green Rovers and Grimsby Town do battle at the New Lawn on Saturday afternoon.

While the Green Devils claimed a 5-2 home victory over Scarbrough Athletic in a first-round replay, the Mariners also has their shooting boots laced as they thrashed Slough Town by a 7-2 scoreline.

We say: Forest Green Rovers 2-2 Grimsby Town

Both Forest Green and Grimsby enter Saturday's clash in buoyant mood following their midweek FA Cup victories, and the two teams will view this fixture as a winnable game in their quest to steer themselves away from danger in League Two.

Grimsby's dismal away record bodes well for Forest Green, but we believe the visitors will do enough to claim a share of the spoils in an entertaining contest at the New Lawn.

Gillingham vs. Salford City (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Gillingham play host to Salford City on Saturday afternoon looking for the win that may move them into the League Two playoff places.

At a time when the home side occupy 10th position in the standings, Salford are four points adrift in 15th spot.

We say: Gillingham 1-2 Salford City

With Gillingham having lost their way in the league in recent weeks, Salford will sense an opportunity to catapult themselves back into contention. While we expect a fiercely-fought contest, the visitors could edge this contest, taking advantage of their hosts' lack of confidence.

Harrogate vs. Swindon (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Harrogate Town and Swindon Town square off in League Two on Saturday afternoon both looking for wins to move them closer to the playoff places.

As it stands, the teams are separated by just one point in 14th and 12th position in the standings respectively.

We say: Harrogate Town 2-1 Swindon Town

Although their places in the table indicate two well-matched teams, that is not the case when it comes to form. While Swindon may turn things around at some stage, we are backing Harrogate to collect another victory that will move them closer to the top seven.

Mansfield vs. Newport (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Mansfield Town play host to Newport County on Saturday afternoon looking to extend their unbeaten streak in League Two to 17 matches.

At a time when the Stags occupy third position in the standings, Newport are down in 20th spot, six points above the relegation zone.

We say: Mansfield Town 3-1 Newport County

With two clean sheets in succession, Newport will have confidence that they can leave Field Mill with at least a share of the spoils. However, we cannot back against Mansfield versus the majority of opponents in this league, resulting in us predicting a hard-earned triumph for Clough's side.

Stockport vs. Colchester (Saturday, 3.00pm)

League Two leaders Stockport County will be aiming to record their 12th successive league victory when they host Colchester United on Saturday.

The visitors have collected 10 points from their last four games themselves to move away from relegation danger.

We say: Stockport County 2-0 Colchester United

Although Colchester have improved since Etherington came in as their caretaker manager, Stockport are clearly a cut above them in terms of quality, and we expect their mammoth winning run to continue.

Challinor's side appear to be unstoppable at this level on current form and it is likely to take a better team than Colchester to stop them, particularly when playing at Edgeley Park.

Sutton vs. Tranmere (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Sutton United will be aiming to move off the foot of League Two's table by beating Tranmere Rovers on Saturday.

The visitors head into the weekend siting outside of the relegation zone on goal difference only, with two points separating these sides.

We say: Sutton United 1-1 Tranmere Rovers

With so much at stake at the bottom of the table, this could be a scrappy encounter, although both teams have at least claimed positive results heading into the clash.

Sutton showed excellent spirit to come from behind to claim a point against Colchester last time out, and we can envisage them sharing the spoils once again versus Adkins' Tranmere side.
