Tuesday's League Two predictions including AFC Wimbledon vs. Stevenage

sportsmole.co.uk, 28 February 2023, 06:20
Gillingham vs. Bradford (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Gillingham will be aiming to escape the League Two relegation zone when they host Bradford City at Priestfield Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The home side are currently inside the bottom of four on goal difference, while the visitors have ambitions at the other end of the table and will want to cement their place in the playoff places.

We say: Gillingham 0-2 Bradford City

Despite an improved performance in the FA Cup on Thursday night, Gillingham should not pose too much of a threat to Bradford on Sunday. The Gills have real issues scoring goals, while the visitors have won two of their last three away matches in the league, and are much the superior side.

Harrogate vs. Northampton (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Northampton Town will be looking to further prove their title credentials when they visit Harrogate Town's Wetherby Road this weekend.

Harrogate find themselves in 20th place after a horrendous start to the season and, though their form has picked up in the last six weeks, they hover precariously over the relegation places. Meanwhile, the visitors sit in third place, and will go into their away game confident of picking up all three points.

We say: Harrogate Town 2-2 Northampton Town

Nobody will argue against the fact that Northampton come into the game stronger on paper; their league form more than supports such an idea, and the consistency and confidence of Brady's coaching has given much hope to the Cobblers' dreams of promotion.

However, coming up against an inspired Harrogate team bountiful with goals in recent weeks may prove a challenge too difficult to overcome away from home.

An even, competitive match full of risk-taking and high-pace counter-attacks will see a score draw at Wetherby Road this weekend, and expect goals from the in-form Luke Armstrong and Sam Hoskins.

AFC Wimbledon vs. Stevenage (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

AFC Wimbledon have the challenging task of hosting League Two title contenders Stevenage this weekend, as the Dons seek a victory that would lift them back in contention for the promotion places.

Stevenage are just four points behind first-place Leyton Orient, as they look to return to League One for the first time since 2013-14.

We say: AFC Wimbledon 0-2 Stevenage

Despite their defeat to a higher calibre of opposition in midweek, Steve Evans's Stevenage side have been prolific throughout their League Two campaign, and we expect them to bounce back against an opponent in their domestic league.

AFC Wimbledon will make life difficult for the Boro with their well-drilled defensive stability, however it may not be enough to stop a Stevenage side striving for the title.

Tranmere vs. Crawley (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Tranmere Rovers will be looking to put an end to their recent poor run of form when they host Crawley Town at Prenton Park in League Two on Saturday afternoon.

The Super White Army are set to commence proceedings 15th in the league standings, while the Red Devils are in 19th place, six points below their opponents.

We say: Tranmere Rovers 1-0 Crawley Town

Tranmere have been on a really poor run of form, but they are above Crawley in the table and have enough quality to secure a narrow victory on home soil.

Crawley have not won away all season and lost in disappointing style against Hartlepool last time out, so they are likely to come away empty-handed again.

Barrow vs. Salford City (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

The League Two season continues in midweek as Barrow welcome Salford City to Holker Street on Tuesday night.

Barrow are mid-table coming into the meeting with Salford, whilst the visitors are sixth in the League Two table.

We say: Barrow 0-2 Salford City

Salford will be buoyed by their win over Mansfield last time out and the promotion chasers will be confident of recording a second victory in three days at one of their favourite away grounds.

Despite Barrow's good recent form Salford's greater need for the three points may just give them the edge.
