Tuesday's League Two predictions including Colchester United vs. Stockport County

sportsmole.co.uk, 9 April 2024, 05:15
Mansfield vs. Forest Green (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Basement side Forest Green Rovers will look to end their 11-game winless league run when they travel to the One Call Stadium for Tuesday's League Two clash with Mansfield Town.

Meanwhile, promotion-chasing Mansfield will attempt to return to winning ways after taking a point from their last two matches.

We say: Mansfield Town 2-1 Forest Green Rovers

Mansfield may have failed to win any of their last three games against Forest Green, but we think that they will end that run when they face a side that have lost seven of their last nine away league matches.

Doncaster vs. Walsall (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Two teams still in the playoff mix in the League Two table will lock horns on Tuesday evening, with Doncaster Rovers welcoming Walsall to the Eco-Power Stadium.

Doncaster are currently 12th in the division, seven points behind seventh-placed Crawley Town, while Walsall occupy ninth, three points off the playoff spots in the fourth tier of English football.

We say: Doncaster Rovers 1-1 Walsall

There has not been a draw between these two teams since January 2008, but we are predicting a 1-1 on Tuesday night. Doncaster are in excellent form and have that winning feeling, but Walsall have enough quality to end the home side's run in the intriguing contest.

Morecambe vs. Crewe (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Two playoff-chasing League Two outfits struggling for form at a crucial point in the season square off at the Mazuma Stadium on Tuesday night, as Morecambe host Crewe Alexandra.

The Shrimps were crushed 3-0 by Doncaster Rovers last time out, while their visitors' scoreless run continued in a goalless stalemate away at Accrington Stanley.

We say: Morecambe 1-0 Crewe Alexandra

With the Crewe Alexandra treatment room still full to the brim, there may be no immediate solution to the Railwaymen's attacking woes, especially on a ground where they have not triumphed since 2010.

Low morale reserves in the Morecambe camp may mean that Tuesday's affair is not a classic, but we have faith in Brannan's men to find a way through and reignite their playoff bid in front of the home crowd.

Newport vs. Accrington (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Two League Two teams with little to fight for in the closing stages of the season meet at Rodney Parade on Tuesday, as Newport County play host to Accrington Stanley.

The Exiles' losing run continued in a 1-0 reverse at Grimsby Town on Saturday, while their visitors held Crewe Alexandra to a goalless stalemate at the Wham Stadium.

We say: Newport County 1-1 Accrington Stanley

The form of both Newport and Accrington is that of two sides with only pride at stake between now and the end of the season, so the shackles could either come off or the two sides will choose to expend little energy in Tuesday's bottom-half showdown.

The latter scenario is not beyond the realm of possibility due to the limited recovery time, and we cannot pick a clear winner between the two outfits on this occasion, so an uneventful stalemate could be on the cards here.

Harrogate vs. Grimsby Town (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Harrogate Town play host to Grimsby Town in a rescheduled gameweek 29 fixture in League Two at the EnviroVent Stadium on Tuesday.

The January fixture was postponed due to a frozen pitch in North Yorkshire, and such an eventuality is not expected this time as the latter side hope to secure another positive result to edge away from danger.

We say: Harrogate Town 2-1 Grimsby Town

Despite Harrogate's inability to win three home games on the trot in two years, that could change against the club with the division's worst road record. Having also defeated the Mariners in four of the last five meetings, including the 2-1 triumph in the reverse fixture on December 23, the home support should expect another positive outcome against the strugglers.

Wrexham vs. Crawley (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Wrexham hope to edge closer to an automatic League Two promotion spot when they host Crawley Town in a rescheduled gameweek 30 encounter at SToK Cae Ras on Tuesday.

The fixture was moved due to the home side's participation in the fourth round of the FA Cup, but it will be held this week as Phil Parkinson's men look to open a five-point lead on third-placed MK Dons.

We say: Wrexham 2-2 Crawley Town

Tuesday's game is undoubtedly far from straightforward to call. The home side's ambition to end in the top two positions means you are inclined to back them, but the away side's four-game goal-laden winning streak causes you to err on the side of caution.

The spoils could be shared in the re-arranged match at the Racecourse Ground.

Barrow vs. Bradford (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Barrow will host Bradford City at Holker Street on Tuesday night, with the home side desperate to end their winless run and climb the League Two table for a shot at automatic promotion.

The Bluebirds, who triumphed 2-0 in the reverse fixture back in November, will be looking to complete the double over the visitors and inch closer to the coveted third automatic promotion spot.

We say: Barrow 2-1 Bradford City

Barrow hold the upper hand in this fixture due to their solid home record and recent dominance over Bradford. Though the hosts have lost their last two matches, we expect them to end this streak against the visitors on Tuesday.

Colchester vs. Stockport (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Two sides at opposite ends of the League Two table clash on Tuesday as leaders Stockport County travel to face relegation-threatened Colchester United.

The visitors are four points clear of second place and could seal the league title and automatic promotion within the next few matches, while the hosts are just one point from safety.

We say: Colchester United 1-2 Stockport County

Stockport look favourites to extend their run as they are unbeaten in four successive games against Colchester. They also boast a superior away record this season, as they have blown teams away on the road. We expect a close game but the visitors should leave the Colchester Community Stadium with maximum points.
