Colchester vs Bromley
Colchester return to league duty after an eventful FA Cup defeat to MK Dons, looking to continue their great form against a Bromley side that continues to struggle for consistency on the road. The U’s have secured 10 points from their last five, which shows genuine optimism that a push for the play-offs could now be a realistic possibility. Andy Woodman’s Bromley have struggled on the road, swinging from composed, disciplined displays to costly late collapses; their recent 2-1 defeat at Cambridge highlights this.
Betting Tip: Colchester To Score 1st Goal – 5/6 –
PricedUp
Crewe vs Shrewsbury
Crewe have hit a patch of mixed results, but they remain firm favourites. Despite an FA Cup loss to Doncaster, their strong league win over Grimsby keeps them within the play-off places. Shrewsbury have climbed out of the bottom two, but all their points have come against lower-half sides, and with one of the division’s worst away records, they are expected to struggle against Crewe.
Betting Tip: Crewe Win – 19/20 –

Barnet vs MK Dons
League Two has been highly competitive this season, particularly in the top half. Barnet sits right on the edge of it, collecting 21 points from 14 games to place them 12th. MK Dons have started more strongly, sitting fourth with seven wins, three draws and four losses. The table is incredibly tight, with just five points separating Walsall in first from Cambridge in 13th. Dons striker Rushian Hepburn-Murphy has scored three goals in his last two in all competitions.
Betting Tip: Both Teams To Score – 7/10 –

Barrow vs Grimsby
The Bluebirds have quietly built a strong platform through consistency and solid defence. They’ve kept consecutive clean sheets in 2-0 wins over Spennymoor in the FA Cup and Nottingham Forest U21, and their only recent stumble was a 2-2 league draw with Barnet, where late mistakes cost them the win. Grimsby have won three and lost two from their last five; The Mariners will be aiming to maintain their attacking momentum as they target a place in the play-offs. However, they have some current defensive vulnerabilities, highlighted by a 5-0 home loss to Brentford in the EFL Cup and a 3-2 loss against Crewe.
Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals – 23/25 –
QuickBet
Bristol Rovers vs Gillingham
Darrell Clarke’s Rovers will look to return to winning ways in League Two when they host Gillingham at The Memorial Stadium on Saturday. Fresh from an FA Cup first-round win over Bromley, thanks to goals from Fabrizio Cavegn and Joel Cotterill, Rovers aim to bounce back after four consecutive league defeats and recapture the strong form they showed in September. Gillingham had a positive start to the season, but has dropped off in recent outings. The Gills are winless in their last five league outings.
Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals – 7/10 –
Betway
Chesterfield vs Accrington
Paul Cook’s side head back to league action in good form, boosted by a hard-earned FA Cup win at Stevenage. They’ve been tough to break down, combining solid defence with careful, patient buildup. Accrington also come off a cup victory, but their struggles on the road continue with three league losses in their last five away outings.
Betting Tip: Chesterfield/Chesterfield - Half Time/Full Time – 11/8 – BetMGM
Crawley vs Fleetwood
The Reds are currently 23rd, just one point above bottom of the league, Newport County. Scott Lindsey’s side has lost eight games from their first 14 fixtures, but they’ve started to play more positively in recent fixtures. Town come into this fixture on the back of an excellent 4-0 home win against Bristol Rovers. The Cod Army head into this fixture with momentum from a 2-1 victory over Barnet, a result that secured their place in the second round of the FA Cup. With four wins from their last five matches, The Cods will be confident of extending their unbeaten run.
Betting Tip: Crawley Win/Draw – 3/8 – Betway
Harrogate vs Oldham
Harrogate hosts The Latics, with both sides looking to regain consistency following mixed results in league and cup competitions. Harrogate’s ongoing defensive fragility has continued to undermine their point tally, while Oldham arrive on a modest unbeaten run, displaying greater attacking balance. Simon Weaver’s Harrogate have lost their last four league fixtures, conceding 11 goals.
Betting Tip: Both Teams Not To Score – 10/11 – PricedUp
Newport vs Walsall
The Exiles host Walsall, Newport arrive on the back of a strong cup display but inconsistent league form, and their recent head-to-head meetings indicate a game that rarely produces high-scoring action. Newport has shown a stark home-away split. They won 3-0 at Harrogate, extending their strong away form, but have struggled at Rodney Parade, losing their last five. League leaders Walsall have dropped off in recent outings, securing just one point from their last three matches. It will be a concern for the Saddlers if they drop off again, having failed to secure promotion after a similar slump last season.
Betting Tip: Both Teams Not To Score – 5/6 – Spreadex
Salford vs Cambridge
Salford City hosts Cambridge, with both sides boosted by recent cup successes. The home team are currently 3rd and has been efficient and well-organised, gaining momentum through consistent displays, while Cambridge arrives with back-to-back wins in all competitions. Both teams have solid defensive records and growing attacking confidence; this promises to be a competitive clash at the Peninsula Stadium.
Betting Tip: Draw – 47/20 – BetMGM
Swindon vs Tranmere
The Reds enter this fixture lifted by their progression to the FA Cup Second Round, courtesy of Darren Oldaker’s extra-time winner. Their opponents on Saturday, meanwhile, suffered a 3-1 defeat to Stockport County. Swindon are currently 2nd in the table with eight wins, 2 draws and four losses so far this season. However, Ian Holloway’s Swindon have only secured one point from their last three, which includes a 4-0 loss to Accrington at the Crown Ground. Tranmere Rovers have only won once in their last five, and they haven't kept a clean sheet in seven matches.
Betting Tip: Swindon Win – 3/4 – Betway
Cheltenham vs Notts County
Due to a slow start to the season, the Robins could see relegation being a possibility. However, Steve Cotterill’s side has looked much better in recent outings, with three wins and one loss from their last four. The Magpies’ strong form this season has been largely driven by their performances at home, where they boast the best record in the division. Away from home, however, they have picked up only eight points from a possible 21, placing them 14th in the away table.
Betting Tip: Draw – 5/2 – QuickBet
