Saturday's League Two predictions including Leyton Orient vs. Northampton

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


Harrogate vs. Hartlepool (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Harrogate Town host Hartlepool United in League Two at the EnviroVent Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The sides are currently only separated by one place in the table, after both experiencing poor starts to the season.

We say: Harrogate Town 0-1 Hartlepool United


With Hartlepool slightly improving since appointing Curle, we think that they will do just enough to win this one, in a closely-fought game. Umerah is likely to be the difference-maker if there is to be one, given his impressive start to the season.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Mansfield vs. Walsall (Saturday, 1.00pm)

Mansfield Town host Walsall at the One Call Stadium on Saturday, with the home side looking to make it seven games undefeated in League Two.

The away side are on a three-game unbeaten run of their own, currently sitting 14th in the table.

We say: Mansfield Town 2-1 Walsall


Mansfield are on a brilliant run of form and we expect them to continue that here with a narrow victory. Walsall have been impressive in recent matches, but they will struggle with the absence of Danny Johnson.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

AFC Wimbledon vs. Sutton (Saturday, 3.00pm)

AFC Wimbledon take on Sutton United in League Two action at Plough Lane on Saturday.

The home side are currently 17th in the table, with the visitors just two places higher, in 15th.

We say: AFC Wimbledon 2-0 Sutton United


Although Wimbledon have not been in great form recently, they should have enough about them to beat Sutton. The visitors have really struggled for goals recently, and this is also coupled with the worst away record in the division.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Carlisle vs. Doncaster (Saturday, 3.00pm)

In what is a clash between two playoff hopefuls, Carlisle United host Doncaster Rovers in League Two on Saturday.

The teams are both currently on 21 points, although the home side have played one less game.

We say: Carlisle United 1-1 Doncaster Rovers


With the sides separated by just one place in the League Two table, it is clear that they are evenly-matched and so we think that they will cancel each other out here.

Not only that, but Carlisle have made a habit of drawing games recently, so the same again is likely here.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Crawley vs. Newport (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two teams in the bottom half of League Two will compete on Saturday as Crawley Town will continue to try and push themselves off the foot of the table when they host Newport County.

Neither club has started the season positively, and the Red Devils will be hoping to create a positive performance following the dismissal of their previous manager.

We say: Crawley Town 1-1 Newport County


Neither club has started their individual seasons brightly, and both will be searching for three points this weekend in a bid to start building some momentum.

However, the fact that each team is low on confidence is something that could lead to cautious play, resulting in a draw.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Gillingham vs. Stevenage (Saturday, 3.00pm)

This Saturday will see two teams at complete opposite ends of the League Two table compete as table toppers Stevenage will be making the trip to Priestfield to play Gillingham.

While the hosts are 19th right now, they have put together an undefeated run of five games in all competitions heading into this difficult test.

We say: Gillingham 0-2 Stevenage


Gillingham have been playing well as of late, despite their league positioning, and that is something that could lead to them causing problems on Sunday.

However, even with the confidence that the hosts have, Saturday will likely prove to be a difficult test for them against a team proving to be dominant right now.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Leyton Orient vs. Northampton (Saturday, 3.00pm)

The best defence meets the top scorers in League Two this weekend, as second-placed Leyton Orient welcome third-placed Northampton Town to The Breyer Group Stadium on Saturday.

Recent slip-ups from both sides have allowed Stevenage take an outright lead at the top of the table, after the hosts drew at Doncaster Rovers last weekend, while the visitors lost 1-0 to Salford City.

We say: Leyton Orient 2-1 Northampton Town


A very evenly-matched tie between two early high-flyers, it is difficult to predict a clear favourite in this one.

Given the home advantage, however, and the fact that Northampton have conceded in their last four, we can see the home side just coming out on top.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Rochdale vs. Barrow (Saturday, 3.00pm)

League Two strugglers Rochdale welcome Barrow to Spotland on Saturday, hoping to get their home campaign up and running.

The hosts are one of just two sides in England's top four leagues yet to win a game in front of their own fans this season, while the visitors have lost three on the bounce after an electric start to their campaign.

We say: Rochdale 1-2 Barrow


Rochdale are yet to win at home this season, and will be increasingly desperate to try to change that as time goes on.

Nonetheless, Barrow have started the season strongly, and will be looking to get back on track here, so we are predicting a narrow, Josh Gordon-inspired victory.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Salford City vs. Bradford (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Salford City are aiming to extend their unbeaten run when they welcome Bradford City to the Peninsula Stadium on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Bradford will be looking to get back to winning ways here after losing to Stockport County last time out.

We say: Salford City 1-1 Bradford City


We think Salford's lack of goals from a recognised striker will continue to hurt them until Callum Hendry finds his shooting boots.

However, defensively they have been superb as of late, and they will need to be again here to keep Andy Cook quiet.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Stockport vs. Grimsby Town (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Stockport County will be eyeing up back-to-back League Two wins for the first time this season when they welcome Grimsby Town to Edgeley Park on Saturday afternoon.

It is a meeting between the two promoted sides from the National League last season, with neither side having been able to establish themselves in League Two so far.

We say: Stockport County 2-0 Grimsby Town


Given their form this season, it is difficult to know what to expect from Stockport, with inconsistency having plagued the Hatters' campaign so far.

Being said, last weekend's triumph over Bradford could be the catalyst that they have been looking for and Stockport will be keen to back it up with another win this weekend.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Swindon vs. Colchester (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Playoff-chasers Swindon Town welcome an improving Colchester United outfit to the County Ground for their League Two clash on Saturday afternoon.

Both sides have made improvements after challenging starts, but still find themselves at opposite ends of the league table.

We say: Swindon Town 1-1 Colchester United


Colchester have looked much better on two fronts since the arrival of their new manager, and a first win under Matt Bloomfield in the league last week will have done wonders for their confidence.

Swindon will go into the game as favourites but may not know what to expect from a side under new management.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
