Saturday's League Two predictions including Doncaster Rovers vs. Port Vale

Cheltenham vs. Walsall (Saturday, 12.30pm)

After an incredible run in the first half of this season's League Two, Walsall will aim to continue their impressive form as they travel to Gloucestershire to face Cheltenham Town at Whaddon Road on Saturday.

The Saddlers head into this encounter 12 points clear at the summit, despite having played one game fewer than second-placed Doncaster Rovers, while the hosts sit 21 points behind in 13th with 31 points.

We say: Cheltenham Town 1-2 Walsall

Walsall enter the contest in scintillating form, having won their last eight matches across all competitions, including seven in the league.

With their remarkable momentum and defensive resilience, the league leaders will be confident of extending their winning run this weekend.

Notts County vs. Swindon (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Aiming to recover after their New Year's Day loss to League Two leaders Walsall, Notts County welcome in-form Swindon Town to Meadow Lane in Saturday's gameweek 25 action.

The 2-1 defeat saw the Nottingham outfit slide to seventh after a three-match winning run, and they seek a response against an opponent without a loss in four matches.

We say: Notts County 2-2 Swindon Town

While Notts County and Swindon are at opposite ends of the table, the hosts have won just 50% of their 10 fixtures on home turf, while the visitors have notched one win from 13 road matches, albeit playing a league-high seven away draws.

Despite the Magpies' tag as favourites, Saturday's encounter could see both sides share the spoils in a high-scoring draw in the East Midlands.

Bradford vs. Grimsby Town (Saturday, 1.00pm)

Bradford City could displace Grimsby Town in the League Two table after Saturday's gameweek 25 clash at the University of Bradford Stadium.

The Bantams' unbeaten post-Christmas form continued on New Year's Day against Barrow, and they aim to exploit an inconsistent Grimsby side who are a place and two points ahead in the standings.

We say: Bradford City 2-1 Grimsby Town

While Bradford have a solid record on home soil and Grimsby have one of the league's finest away records, the latter losing five of 12 matches on their travels indicates their fluctuating away showings.

Thus, the Bantams are backed to record a fourth consecutive success in West Yorkshire despite Cook's potential absence, though both teams are expected to find the back of the net.

Barrow vs. Harrogate (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Seven places and six points separate Barrow and Harrogate Town in the League Two table entering Saturday's gameweek 25 clash at Holker Street.

Both sides are in underwhelming form going into this weekend, with three wins combined in their previous 20 matches: the Bluebirds beating Fleetwood Town before Christmas and Harrogate defeating Chesterfield and Gillingham in November.

We say: Barrow 1-1 Harrogate Town

The spoils could be shared in North West England, with Clemence's men extending their undefeated home sequence to three matches and Harrogate taking another away point to follow December 29's draw at Fleetwood.

Colchester vs. Accrington (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Colchester United and Accrington Stanley meet in League Two on Saturday bidding to move away from the League Two relegation zone.

At a time when Colchester sit in 16th position in the table, the visitors are in 20th spot, five points adrift with a game in hand.

We say: Colchester United 2-1 Accrington Stanley

With both clubs having earned important wins over the Christmas and New Year period, this could prove to be a competitive fixture. However, although Accrington are on a high after their win over Grimsby, Colchester could edge this contest by the odd goal in three with a late goal.

Doncaster vs. Port Vale (Saturday, 3.00pm)

In the thick of a heated promotional battle, Doncaster Rovers will welcome Port Vale to Eco-Power Stadium in South Yorkshire on Saturday.

Doncaster began 2025 with a dramatic 2-1 victory versus Fleetwood Town, moving up to second in League Two as a result, two points above the Valiants, who sit fifth following a 0-0 draw at home to Cheltenham Town.

We say: Doncaster Rovers 2-1 Port Vale

Doncaster always seem to find a way, and they are facing a side struggling to develop much continuity of late and lacking confidence in the attacking third.

MK Dons vs. Salford City (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two teams that made perfect starts to the New Year will do battle in round 25 of the 2024-25 League Two season as MK Dons entertain the challenge of Salford City on Saturday afternoon.

Having fallen to a narrow 1-0 defeat against the visitors in September's reverse fixture, the hosts will have revenge on their agenda heading into this weekend's encounter.

We say: MK Dons 1-1 Salford City

Salford are the more in-form side at the moment, but MK Dons will have a point to prove here as they target a first home win in four matches.

That said, we are backing a share of the spoils with both teams settling for a point apiece.

Tranmere vs. Carlisle (Saturday, 3.00pm)

League Two basement boys Carlisle United will travel to face Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park in their gameweek 25 fixture on Saturday.

The hosts have amassed 22 points from the same number of matches, leaving them two points above the relegation zone, while the visitors are firmly rooted to the bottom with 18 points from 23 matches.

We say: Tranmere Rovers 1-1 Carlisle United

This weekend's match between Tranmere and Carlisle features two teams who have both struggled with consistency this season.

While the home side might expect a comfortable encounter against the team currently bottom of the table, the visitors are unbeaten in their last two matches against Tranmere, suggesting that Saturday's fixture could end in a score draw.
