Saturday's League Two predictions including Swindon Town vs. Port Vale

Bradford vs. Harrogate (Saturday, 12.30pm)

As they hunt for promotion from League Two, Bradford City are set to host Harrogate Town at the University of Bradford Stadium on Saturday.

The Bantams are in excellent form at the moment and will come into the game full of confidence, while the Sulphurites are without a win in their last four games.

We say: Bradford City 3-1 Harrogate Town

Bradford got back to winning ways last time out against higher-tier opposition and are likely to put in another strong performance this weekend.

The visitors may put up a fight but the Bantams should secure their 14th win of the season, motivated by the pressure to keep up with the pack in the race for promotion.

Swindon vs. Port Vale (Saturday, 12.30pm)

In-form Swindon Town are set to host promotion-chasing Port Vale at the Nigel Eady County Ground this Saturday in League Two.

The Robins are experiencing the best spell of their season so far and will come into the clash with confidence despite being underdogs.

We say: Swindon Town 1-1 Port Vale

Both sides come into the game in good form, and their league positions are not representative of the levels the teams are currently operating at.

While Port Vale will be desperate to keep up with their promotion rivals, they will likely have to make do with just a single point this weekend as Swindon are sure to make the clash a close-fought contest.

Accrington vs. AFC Wimbledon (Saturday, 3.00pm)

AFC Wimbledon will be looking to move into the automatic playoff places when they visit the Wham Stadium to face Accrington Stanley in round 31 of the League Two on Saturday.

Having gone unbeaten in each of the last four meetings between the sides, the home side will head into the weekend looking to extend their recent dominance over the Dons and pull clear of the danger zone.

We say: Accrington Stanley 0-2 AFC Wimbledon

AFC Wimbledon have flown out of the blocks this year as they aim for a strong second half of the season in their bid for automatic promotion to League One.

Accrington have struggled for consistency this season and while we expect them to put up a fight in front of their home supporters, we are backing the Dons to come away with the desired result.

Barrow vs. Gillingham (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Looking to arrest their respective slumps in form, Barrow and Gillingham will lock horns at Holker Street on Saturday afternoon in round 31 of the 2024-25 League Two season.

Just over four months since the away side claimed a 2-0 triumph in September's reverse meeting, the hosts will have one eye on exacting revenge when they take to the field for this weekend's encounter.

We say: Barrow 1-0 Gillingham

With two of the division's lowest-scoring teams going head-to-head, we are anticipating a cagey affair with little goalmouth action at either end.

Nonetheless, we are leaning towards a win for the home side at the end of the 90 minutes.

Colchester vs. Walsall (Saturday, 3.00pm)

An in-form Colchester United will host League Two title-favourites Walsall at the JobServe Community Stadium on Saturday.

The U's may be 12 places and 22 points behind the Saddlers, but the visitors have struggled lately after an excellent first half of the season.

We say: Colchester United 2-1 Walsall

Walsall may be top of the league, but they have been in mixed form lately and are still working to get back on track.

On the other hand, Colchester have been in strong form, and could prove too much for a visiting side that are adjusting to losing their top scorer.

Crewe vs. Newport (Saturday, 3.00pm)

In the hunt for promotion, Crewe Alexandra will face a resurgent Newport County at Mornflake Stadium this Saturday in League Two.

The Railwaymen will be looking to get back to winning ways after a disappointing draw last time out against Harrogate Town, while the Exiles will be hoping to make it three wins on the bounce this weekend.

We say: Crewe Alexandra 2-0 Newport County

Crewe may be in worse form than their opponents, but the visitors' shocking away record makes it extremely unlikely that they will take anything from Saturday's game.

Additionally, the pressure of keeping up with their promotion rivals should be a motivating factor for the Railwaymen to put in a strong performance this weekend.

Fleetwood vs. Cheltenham (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Fleetwood Town and Cheltenham Town square off on Saturday afternoon searching for the win that will keep them on the periphery of a playoff bid.

These two teams sit in 15th and 12th position in the League Two standings, the visitors nine points adrift of the top seven.

We say: Fleetwood Town 1-1 Cheltenham Town

With both teams having improved of late, we feel that this should prove to be a competitive encounter. However, it is a difficult to lean either way, leaving us to predict a low-scoring draw.

Grimsby Town vs. Carlisle (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Grimsby Town play host to Carlisle United on Saturday afternoon searching for the victory that will keep them on the coattails of the playoff spots.

As for Carlisle, they are hoping that a change in manager will lead to an upturn in fortunes as they sit bottom of the League Two table.

We say: Grimsby Town 2-0 Carlisle United

With Carlisle having made a managerial change, it remains to be seen whether they can make an immediate change on the results front. For us, though, we can only back Grimsby to come through in relatively-comfortable fashion.

MK Dons vs. Bromley (Saturday, 3.00pm)

MK Dons and Bromley square off on Saturday afternoon with just two points separating the teams in the League Two table.

Despite sitting in 11th and 16th place respectively, both teams head into this fixture having put together an indifferent run of form.

We say: MK Dons 1-1 Bromley

Given the inconsistency of both clubs, this may not be a contest that is oozing quality. Nevertheless, Bromley have shown at times this season that they can impress on the bigger platforms, leaving us to predict a hard-earned point for the visitors.

Notts County vs. Morecambe (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two teams that ended last season on equal footing yet taking vastly different paths this term will meet this weekend as Notts County host Morecambe on matchday 31 of League Two.

Both sides finished the 2023-24 campaign tied on 61 points in mid-table, but while Notts have kicked on, now sitting third with 50 points from 28 games, the Shrimps have struggled, sinking to 22nd with just 23 from 29 matches.

We say: Notts County 3-1 Morecambe

While the margin may not be as heavy as their last meeting at Meadow Lane, Morecambe's decent form on their travels is unlikely to spare them from a tough test against an in-form Notts, who have won seven of their last nine matches; hence, we predict a victory for the home side.

Salford City vs. Tranmere (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two sides enduring a difficult spell go head-to-head this weekend in round 31 of League Two as Salford City host Tranmere Rovers at Moor Lane.

The Ammies are desperate to end a five-match winless run in the league and six across all competitions, while the visitors have also gone five games without victory in the fourth tier.

We say: Salford City 3-1 Tranmere Rovers

Despite both sides struggling, Tranmere's troubles throughout the campaign, coupled with their dismal run on their travels, give Salford a strong chance to return to winning ways, making them our pick for victory.
