Saturday's League Two predictions including MK Dons vs. Port Vale

sportsmole.co.uk, 12 October 2024, 05:10
Chesterfield vs. Notts County (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Title chasing Notts County are set to travel to SMH Group Stadium where they will take on promotion hopefuls Chesterfield on Saturday in their 10th match of their 2024-25 League Two campaign.

The hosts are 12th with 14 points after 10 games and are just two points from seventh-placed Fleetwood Town, who occupy the division's final promotion playoff spot, while the visitors are fifth with 18 points and are one point from first-placed Walsall.

We say: Chesterfield 1-1 Notts County

Considering Chesterfield have drawn four of their six matches at home this season, it is difficult to see them losing on Saturday.

However, the hosts are yet to keep a clean sheet at SMH Group Stadium, and Notts County will no doubt get chances of their own in front of goal.

AFC Wimbledon vs. Carlisle (Saturday, 3.00pm)

AFC Wimbledon will be hoping to bounce back from defeat last weekend when they host strugglers Carlisle United on Saturday at the Cherry Red Records Stadium in League Two.

The home side are in 13th place with 13 points but have only played seven games and have three in hand on 10 of the clubs above them, while the away team are third last in 22nd place with seven points after 10 matches.

We say: AFC Wimbledon 3-1 Carlisle United

Considering that Carlisle are dealing with numerous injury absentees, it would not be surprising if Wimbledon were able to take advantage of the visitors' lack of cohesiveness.

Additionally, the hosts have a strong record at home this season, and they should come into Saturday's match as clear favourites.

Barrow vs. Morecambe (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Morecambe's search for their first victory of the 2024-25 League Two season will continue on Saturday afternoon, when they make the trip to Holker Street to tackle high-flying Barrow.

The visitors are bottom of the table, having picked up just four points from their opening 10 matches of the campaign, while Barrow are up in third, boasting 19 points from their first 10 fixtures.

We say: Barrow 2-1 Morecambe

Despite their struggles, Morecambe have proven to be difficult to beat in recent weeks, drawing four of their last five games in League Two, but we are expecting Barrow to navigate their way to all three points on Saturday afternoon.

Cheltenham vs. Swindon (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Swindon Town will be aiming to make it four games unbeaten in all competitions when they continue their 2024-25 League Two campaign with a clash against Cheltenham Town on Saturday afternoon.

The visitors are currently 21st in the League Two table, picking up eight points from their opening 10 matches of the season, while Cheltenham sit 20th, collecting 10 points from their first 10 games of 2024-25.

We say: Cheltenham Town 1-1 Swindon Town

Swindon have not exactly been full of goals this season, and they have only won once in the league in 2024-25, so it is difficult to back them with any real confidence. Cheltenham's form is not great, though, and we are struggling to find a winner here, ultimately settling on a low-scoring draw.

Doncaster vs. Crewe (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Aiming to make it three wins on the bounce and move to the top of the League Two table, Doncaster Rovers will welcome Crewe Alexandra to the Eco-Power Stadium on Saturday.

The hosts moved level with the division's top three by collecting six points last week, while their visitors are just three points worse off in eighth spot following a victory of their own last weekend.

We say: Doncaster Rovers 2-0 Crewe Alexandra

Crewe Alexandra have certainly shown their resilience and quality in recent weeks, particularly while facing several injury concerns, but Saturday presents one of their toughest tests yet, and we back Grant McCann's men to prevail with home advantage and make it three straight victories in their pursuit of top spot.

Gillingham vs. Accrington (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two sides at opposing ends of the League Two table are set to come together on Saturday afternoon when second-placed Gillingham host 23rd-placed Accrington Stanley at Priestfield Stadium.

The hosts sit on 19 points after 10 games, from six wins, one draw and three losses, while the visitors have just six points after nine outings, from one win, three draws and five losses.

We say: Gillingham 2-0 Accrington Stanley

While Gillingham are heading into this game on the back of two successive losses, they should still be confident of securing a victory against an Accrington side that have won just once this term.

With the Gills also boasting home advantage, where they have won four and lost one this season, we expect a straightforward win for the hosts.

Harrogate vs. Newport (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Both aiming to bounce back to winning ways, Harrogate Town and Newport County will square off at the Exercise Stadium on Saturday.

The visitors dropped to 10th spot in the League Two table following a defeat on Monday, while their hosts find themselves four points worse off in 18th place after 10 league outings.

We say: Harrogate Town 1-1 Newport County

With two relatively evenly-matched sides both fighting to get back to winning ways on Saturday, we anticipate a hard-fought encounter at the Exercise Stadium and cannot quite pick a winner, instead opting for what would be Newport's first league draw of the season.

MK Dons vs. Port Vale (Saturday, 3.00pm)

MK Dons and Port Vale put their recent unbeaten runs on the line when they square off in League Two on Saturday afternoon.

While the home side have not lost in four outings and sit in 14th position in the standings, the visitors are the form team in the division and occupy sixth spot.

We say: MK Dons 2-2 Port Vale

Both teams will be confident of victory in this contest, particularly Vale who appear to be growing in confidence under Moore. However, we feel that an entertaining draw will play out, a result that would not necessarily suit either team.

Salford City vs. Grimsby Town (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Salford City play host to Grimsby Town on Saturday afternoon looking for the win that would move them into the top half of the League Two standings.

The home side sit just three points adrift of their upcoming opponents, who are just one point adrift of the playoff places despite being in 11th position.

We say: Salford City 1-1 Grimsby Town

Given Salford's lack of goals, we cannot back them with any great confidence ahead of this contest. Nevertheless, they may do enough for a share of the spoils, keeping them clear of the relegation zone.

Tranmere vs. Bradford (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Aiming to return to the top seven in the League Two table with back-to-back victories, Bradford City will travel to Prenton Park on Saturday to take on Tranmere Rovers.

The Bantams returned to winning ways on Monday, while their hosts have failed to pick up a victory in any of their last five league outings.

We say: Tranmere Rovers 1-2 Bradford City

While Bradford City are yet to find their groove away from home this season, a return to winning ways on Monday could inspire an improved run for Graham Alexander's men, who have the quality to get the better of Saturday's hosts.
