Louie Truman has his League Two betting predictions, along with League Two Betting Odds and some League Two betting bonuses.

BARROW VS WALSALL

Barrow are just one place above bottom place, and the Bluebirds come into this fixture on the back of an impressive 3-2 home win against Oldham; Isaac Fletcher scored the winner in the 91st minute. Barrow will aim to secure crucial points in their push for safety. Walsall have dropped to 13th, after a difficult spell of form; the Saddlers have lost their last two against Swindon and Cheltenham.

Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals – 8/11 - BetMGM

SWINDON VS ACCRINGTON

Last time out, Swindon fell to Colchester in a 3-0 defeat, but the Robins overcame Walsall 2-1 prior to this result. Ian Holloway’s side are sitting in fifth, so they’ll aim to build momentum as they approach the final stages of the season. Accrington have struggled for form in recent outings; Stanley have lost their last three outings.

Betting Tip: Draw – 11/4 - Betfred

CHELTENHAM VS NEWPORT

Cheltenham have moved up to 18th. The Robins come into this fixture on the back of consecutive wins against Walsall and Gillingham; Cheltenham scored six goals during the two wins. Newport are just one point clear of the relegation zone, so they’ll look to secure important points in their push for safety.

Last time out, the Exiles managed to secure three points against Harrogate in a 2-1 win; Nathaniel Opoku and Joe Thomas were the goal scorers.

Betting Tip: Cheltenham Win – 13/10 - Star Sports

CRAWLEY VS SHREWSBURY

Crawley are sitting in 21st, with 8 wins, 13 draws and 22 losses. The Red Devils have lost their last two against Grimsby and in-form Bristol Rovers; Crawley conceded five goals during the two games. Shrewsbury Town are two places above Crawley in 19th.

In their recent outing, the Shrews managed to secure three points against Oldham; William Boyle was the goal scorer. Crawley and Shrewsbury haven’t drawn in their last three encounters.

Betting Tip: Shrewsbury Town or Draw – 3/4 - BetMGM

CREWE VS MK DONS

Crewe are sitting in mid-table, and they come into this fixture on the back of a 3-2 away loss against Grimsby. The Railwaymen have secured nine points from their last five, and they’re six points from a play-off place. MK Dons are sitting in second, and they’re five points behind league leaders Bromley.

FLEETWOOD VS CHESTERFIELD

Throughout the season, Fleetwood have struggled for consistency. The Cod Army have scored six goals in their last five, and Will Davies is averaging the most shots on target per match. Chesterfield have shown positive form in recent outings; the Spireites have won four of their last five, and they’ve moved just inside the play-off places. Despite their positive spell of form, they’ve scored just six goals in their last five.

Betting Tip: Draw at Half-Time – 6/5 - Star Sports

GILLINGHAM VS GRIMSBY

Gillingham have secured five points from their last five, and they were unlucky not to get anything out of their recent fixture against Cheltenham; the Robins scored the winner in the 95th minute. Grimsby will aim to secure important points as they push for a place in the play-offs. The Mariners have been finding the back of the net consistently, with 12 goals in their last five, and David Artell’s side haven't lost to Gillingham in their last five.

Betting Tip: Over 1.5 Goals by Grimsby – 21/20 - BetMGM

HARROGATE VS COLCHESTER

Harrogate are 24th in the table, but the Sulphurites are just four points from safety. Simon Weaver’s side have lost four of their last five, and they’ve conceded nine goals during this run. Harrogate are at the bottom because they don’t score enough, concede too many, and lack the squad quality of most League Two sides, leading to poor form and constant defeats.

On the other hand, Colchester have shown excellent form in recent outings; the U’s have won their last three, and Danny Cowley’s side kept clean sheets in two of the wins. Colchester have scored eight goals in their last five, and Harrogate have been unable to keep a clean sheet in their last five.

Betting Tip: Colchester Win – 11/8 - Betfred

NOTTS COUNTY VS BARNET

Notts County find themselves sitting in fourth place, the Magpies are sitting in fourth place, just two points from an automatic promotion place. Martin Paterson’s side will be disappointed with their recent 4-0 away loss against Cambridge; the U’s received a red card in the 41st minute. Barnet are just two places outside the play-offs, and they come into this fixture on the back of consecutive wins against Fleetwood and Barrow.

Betting Tip: Draw – 21/10 - Star Sports

OLDHAM VS SALFORD

Oldham are sitting in 11th, with 17 wins, 14 draws and 12 losses.

Micky Mellon’s side have the best defensive record in the league, with 18 clean sheets. Salford are inside the play-offs, but they’re without a win in their last two. The Ammies have scored just three goals in their last five.

Betting Tip: Salford or Draw – 4/9 - BetMGM

TRANMERE VS BRISTOL ROVERS

In their recent outing, Tranmere drew against Chesterfield, which ended 1-1. Prior to this result, Tranmere lost four in a row, and they were unable to find the back of the net during the four losses. Bristol Rovers have moved up to 15th; the Pirates have secured a maximum of 15 points from their last five. Steve Evans’s side scored 11 goals during this run.
