Saturday's League Two predictions including Bradford vs. Northampton

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's League Two fixtures, including Bradford vs. Northampton.


Barrow vs. Hartlepool (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Barrow will be aiming to consolidate their place in the League Two playoff spots when they welcome Hartlepool United to Holker Street this weekend.

The home side are currently sixth in the league standings, while the away side are 23rd and need a result to move themselves out of the relegation zone.

We say: Barrow 2-0 Hartlepool United


Barrow have won their last four games at Holker Street in all competitions, so strugglers Hartlepool should be no match for them on Saturday. We expect it to be a comprehensive victory for the Bluebirds, and they could win by more if they are really on their game.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Bradford vs. Northampton (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Bradford City will be looking to continue their good spate of form in League Two when they take on fellow high-fliers Northampton Town at the University of Bradford Stadium on Saturday.

The hosts come into this one unbeaten in two matches, while visitors Northampton travel to Yorkshire fresh from a victory away at Gillingham last weekend.

We say: Bradford City 2-2 Northampton Town


In a match with severe permutations at the top of League Two, we expect both sides to put on an entertaining encounter that will produce plenty of opportunities in front of goal.

Despite this, Bradford and Northampton Town will not be separated on the day and will have to be content with a point apiece.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Colchester vs. Doncaster (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Colchester United will be looking to move off the bottom of the League Two table when they host Doncaster Rovers at the JobServe Community Stadium on Saturday.

As for the away side, they remain two points off the playoff places, and a win is likely to keep them within touching distance of the top seven.

We say: Colchester United 0-2 Doncaster Rovers


Owing to terrible recent form from Colchester, Doncaster should be able to make it two wins on the spin away from home in League Two. Schofield has made a decent start as manager, and his squad has more than enough about it to outclass the U's.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Grimsby Town vs. Stevenage (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Grimsby Town are looking to end a run of four consecutive league games without a win when they welcome Stevenage to Blundell Park on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the visitors are aiming to make it back-to-back victories in League Two after edging a close contest against Hartlepool United last weekend.

We say: Grimsby Town 1-2 Stevenage


Grimsby have one of the worst home records in the division, picking up just seven points from eight matches at Blundell Park so far this season.

Stevenage's form is difficult to ignore, and we believe the visitors will have too much for their opponents on Saturday.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Harrogate vs. Mansfield (Saturday, 3.00pm)

A playoff-chasing Mansfield Town side will travel to Yorkshire for a match against relegation-threatened Harrogate Town in League Two on Saturday.

Just one point ahead of the relegation zone heading into the weekend's fixtures, Harrogate will be up against it on Saturday against a Mansfield side eyeing up promotion.

We say: Harrogate Town 1-2 Mansfield Town


Two teams at opposite ends of the table, the league standings may rule in Mansfield's favour, yet the form book looks somewhat similar.

In need of a result, expect promotion-chasing Mansfield to take the game to Harrogate and leave Yorkshire with three points.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Newport vs. Gillingham (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two struggling sides meet in League Two on Saturday, as 19th-placed Newport County welcome 22nd-placed Gillingham to Rodney Parade.

The hosts suffered defeat following a late Paddy Madden goal last time out against Stockport, while the visitors' winless run in the league was extended to six after a 2-0 home defeat to Northampton Town.

We say: Newport County 2-1 Gillingham


A game that both sides will view as an opportunity to take three points, we are backing the visitors here, given their relatively solid form since the arrival of Coughlan in the dugout in addition to Gillingham's goalscoring woes on the road.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Salford City vs. Carlisle (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Salford City and Carlisle United lock horns this weekend in what promises to be a key contest in the battle for the League Two playoff places.

Neil Wood's side have gone five games without a win or a goal in all competitions, while the visitors are seeking to extend their unbeaten run of four games when they visit Moor Lane on Saturday.

We say: Salford City 0-2 Carlisle United


Salford have endured a torrid time in front of goal in recent weeks and we expect Carlisle to take full advantage of that on Saturday.

We think the Cumbrians will be too strong for the Ammies, and Salford's goal drought will continue.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Stockport vs. Leyton Orient (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two in-form teams collide at Edgeley Park on Saturday, as League Two climbers Stockport County take on table-toppers Leyton Orient.

The hosts recorded their sixth win in their last seven games last weekend, as they beat struggling Newport County away from home, while the visitors stretched their lead to three points at the top of the table with a 2-0 win over Harrogate Town.

We say: Stockport County 2-2 Leyton Orient


This should be a fast and frantic game between two of the league's most in-form sides, so we are expecting goals here in a high-quality encounter.

While we are predicting a draw, there is always the chance that a moment of magic from either Paddy Madden or Paul Smyth could tip the tie each way.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Sutton vs. Rochdale (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Sutton United take on Rochdale at the VBS Community Stadium on Saturday, with the home side looking to end their five-game winless run in all competitions.

The visitors are also struggling, and they have managed just one victory in their last seven outings.

We say: Sutton United 0-0 Rochdale


Rochdale have shown signs of improvement since Bentley was appointed as manager, but they have real issues scoring goals. However, with the Dale coming up against a side in bad form, the spoils may be shared in a stalemate.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Swindon vs. Crewe (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Crewe Alexandra will be aiming to record a second successive victory when they visit Swindon Town in League Two on Saturday.

The hosts, meanwhile, have taken 10 points from a possible 12 in their last four league games at the County Ground.

We say: Swindon Town 2-1 Crewe Alexandra


We can envisage an entertaining affair in Wiltshire on Saturday, with the hosts likely to come out on top.

Swindon's home form has been impressive in recent weeks, with Crewe's tough slog against hapless Colchester last weekend hardly inspiring confidence that they can avoid defeat.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Tranmere vs. AFC Wimbledon (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Tranmere Rovers will be looking to get their playoff push back on track when they host AFC Wimbledon at Prenton Park this weekend.

It will be a difficult test, however, as the visitors have lost just one of their last eight games in all competitions.

We say: Tranmere Rovers 1-1 AFC Wimbledon


Tranmere have made a habit out of drawing games that they need to win in recent matches, and they have also struggled for goals. With Wimbledon only winning twice on their travels this season, it is likely that the spoils are shared in a low-scoring contest.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Walsall vs. Crawley (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Walsall will attempt to get back to winning ways in League Two when they take on Crawley Town at the Poundland Bescot Stadium on Saturday.

The hosts come into this one off the back of a draw away to Carlisle United, while the visitors travel to the West Midlands fresh from a victory at home to Barrow.

We say: Walsall 1-1 Crawley Town


Both sides will come into this one looking to move further up the table, creating an intriguing encounter that will be keenly contested.

Nevertheless, there will be no separating Walsall and Crawley on the day culminating in a draw being the most likely outcome.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
