Saturday's League Two predictions including Morecambe vs. Port Vale

sportsmole.co.uk, 16 November 2024, 06:10
Accrington vs. Swindon (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Looking to record a fourth straight win across all competitions, Accrington Stanley will welcome Swindon Town to Wham Stadium in League Two on Saturday afternoon.

The 'Owd Reds managed a handsome victory on the road last time out, whilst the Robins were not as fortunate on their travels, losing to MK Dons.

We say: Accrington Stanley 1-0 Swindon Town

Considering their solid record at Wham Stadium so far this season, we are expecting Accrington to pick up at least a point from this fixture.

Swindon are hovering above the danger zone in League Two, and we believe that the Robins will fail to earn anything from their trip to the 'Owd Reds.

Barrow vs. AFC Wimbledon (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Both looking to strengthen their cases for a top-seven finish, Barrow and AFC Wimbledon will lock horns at SO Legal Stadium for a League Two clash on Saturday afternoon.

The Bluebirds enjoyed a handsome success in the EFL Trophy earlier in the week, whilst the Dons have enjoyed a full seven days to recover from a clash with Grimsby Town.

We say: Barrow 1-0 AFC Wimbledon

After their EFL Trophy win earlier in the week, Barrow should be full of confidence and raring to put poor travellers Wimbledon to the sword this weekend.

Bromley vs. Carlisle (Saturday, 3.00pm)

League Two strugglers Bromley will hope to distance themselves from the relegation zone when they welcome second last Carlisle United to Hayes Lane on Saturday in their 15th league game of the season.

The home team are 19th with 15 points and drew 1-1 with Cheltenham Town on November 9, while their opponents are in 23rd place with 11 points after 15 matchweeks but beat Salford City 1-0 last Saturday.

We say: Bromley 1-1 Carlisle United

Though both sides have struggled for results of late, Bromley have at least been difficult to beat at home.

However, Carlisle have won their last two fixtures and should come into Saturday's game with some confidence, so it would not be surprising if they left Hayes Lane with a point.

Colchester vs. Bradford (Saturday, 3.00pm)

With the aim of bouncing back from consecutive defeats and returning to the top seven of the League Two table, Bradford City will travel to the JobServe Community Stadium to take on Colchester United on Saturday.

The visitors now trail the playoff places by two points, while their hosts only lead the relegation zone by the same margin.

We say: Colchester United 1-1 Bradford City

Having lost momentum following a pair of losses, Bradford City could find it tough against a Colchester United side who are well versed in avoiding defeat despite their lack of victories this term.

Crewe vs. Notts County (Saturday, 3.00pm)

In what could prove to be a pivotal clash in the hunt for promotion, Crewe Alexandra are set to host Notts County in League Two on Saturday at Mornflake Stadium in their 15th league match of the 2024-25 campaign.

The Railwaymen are fifth in the division with 25 points and drew 1-1 with Walsall on November 9, whereas the visitors are third with 27 points after 15 games and drew 1-1 with Doncaster Rovers last Saturday.

We say: Crewe Alexandra 1-2 Notts County

Nott County have proven to be resilient away from home in recent games, and it is difficult to see how they lose on Saturday.

Additionally, while Crewe have the same defensive record as their opponents, their inferior offensive record may make them slight underdogs this weekend.

Doncaster vs. Salford City (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Aiming to return to the top three of the League Two table with a victory, Doncaster Rovers will welcome Salford City to the Eco-Power Stadium on Saturday.

The hosts sit fourth after a draw last weekend but only trail the automatic promotion spots on goal difference, while their visitors dropped into the bottom half following a home defeat.

We say: Doncaster Rovers 2-1 Salford City

Given the quality throughout Doncaster Rovers' squad, particularly going forward, and the visitors' struggles on the road this term, we back the hosts to stake their claim for a return to the top three with a victory on home turf at the weekend.

Harrogate vs. Chesterfield (Saturday, 3.00pm)

In a potentially significant match for their respective promotion and survival ambitions, Harrogate Town will welcome Chesterfield to Exercise Stadium on Saturday in League Two.

The home team are fifth last in 20th place with 15 points from 15 games and lost 2-1 against Morcambe on November 9, while the visitors are ninth in the table with 22 points after 15 matchweeks and are two points and two places from the promotion playoff spots.

We say: Harrogate Town 1-4 Chesterfield

It is difficult to overlook Chesterfield's impressive form in front of goal this season, and it would not be surprising if they scored multiple goals against Harrogate.

Additionally, Harrogate are in poor form and the visitors should come into the match as favourites.

MK Dons vs. Cheltenham (Saturday, 3.00pm)

MK Dons will hope to continue their promotion charge on Saturday when they host Cheltenham Town in League Two at Stadium MK.

MK Dons are in sixth place with 24 points from 15 games and occupy the third of four promotion playoff spots, while the away side are 16th with 18 points after 15 matches and drew 1-1 with Bromley on November 9.

We say: MK Dons 2-2 Cheltenham Town

Both teams are in good form, and it is difficult to pick a winner based on their showings in recent weeks.

It would not be surprising if MK Dons and Cheltenham each produced a number of chances over the course of the game, but ultimately shared the spoils on Saturday.

Morecambe vs. Port Vale (Saturday, 3.00pm)

League Two leaders Port Vale will be bidding to return to winning ways when they head to the Mazuma Mobile Stadium on Saturday afternoon to tackle bottom-of-the-table Morecambe.

The hosts have picked up 30 points from their 15 matches this season to top the League Two table, three points clear of second-placed Walsall, while the Shrimps sit in 24th, boasting only 10 points from their first 15 games.

We say: Morecambe 1-2 Port Vale

Morecambe have the worst home record in League Two this season, picking up just three points from seven games, while Port Vale have the strongest away record, boasting 16 points from eight matches. We are actually expecting it to be tight in terms of the scoreline on Saturday, but we are backing Port Vale to navigate their way to all three points.

Newport vs. Grimsby Town (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Grimsby Town will be bidding to make it back-to-back victories in League Two when they head to Rodney Parade on Saturday afternoon to tackle Newport County.

The visitors are currently seventh in the League Two table, picking up 24 points from their first 15 matches of the campaign, while Newport occupy 15th, collecting 19 points from their opening 15 games of the season.

We say: Newport County 1-1 Grimsby Town

Grimsby are yet to draw in the league this season, but we believe that run will come to an end on Saturday. Two of the last three League Two contests between these two sides have finished level, and we can see a tight match ending 1-1.
