League 2 Predictions Today – Saturday 8th November 2025

WE resume EFL League Two action this weekend following the break for FA Cup participation.

An incredibly tight promotion race is unfolding whereby merely five points span 1st down to 13th place in the table. A scenario prompting plenty of League Two betting activity because all of those sides will fancy their chances in the helter-skelter end of season shake up. There is certainly everything to play for.

Here are the upcoming pairings I am anticipating most alongside considered score predictions to guide your football betting…

Barnet v Milton Keynes Dons Prediction

• Kick-off: 3pm
• Rankings: 12th versus 4th

Barnet preview – Making steady progress on re-joining the Football League this year. One defeat in seven EFL games embracing four wins. Even so, the Bees must improve on four home losses during 2025/26.

Milton Keynes Dons preview – The 2-1 setback at Bromley last time out was their sole away League reverse all campaign. It terminated a spree of four straight EFL wins for the highly tipped pre-season promotion favourites.

Score prediction: Desolate 0-0.

Barrow v Grimsby Town Prediction

• Kick-off: 3pm
• Rankings: 15th versus 6th

Barrow preview – Six matches without EFL defeat. Furthermore, three wins out of five unbeaten games in all competitions. Experienced coach Rob Kelly left Barrow on Monday to become assistant manager at Reading.

Grimsby Town preview – A point below Play-Off discussions after two losses over three League affairs. In cup endeavours, the Mariners scored eight goals this week to secure back to back wins.

Score prediction: Grimsby the great 2-1.

Chesterfield v Accrington Stanley Prediction

• Kick-off: 3pm
• Rankings: 7th versus 21st

Chesterfield preview – Three unconquered League games culminating in two consecutive draws. In fact, five matches bereft of losing straddling all competitions. Unbeaten at home in the EFL mustering four wins and three draws.

Accrington Stanley preview – A single point cushion on the drop zone due to Stanley’s solitary victory in six EFL games.

Score prediction: Chesterfield crescendo 5-2.

Newport County v Walsall Prediction

• Kick-off: 3pm
• Rankings: 24th versus 1st

Newport County preview – Rock bottom sitting two points adrift of safety. Nevertheless current fortunes reflect four wins from five outings across all competitions. However home EFL results are dismal with no victories and six defeats amid seven attempts throughout 2025/26.

Walsall preview – Top on goal difference despite nursing three winless games losing the past two. Such disappointing form contrasts to their preceding eight match unbeaten EFL streak incorporating six maximum pointers.

Score prediction: Saddlers shine 4-0.

Salford City v Cambridge United Prediction

• Kick-off: 3pm
• Rankings: 3rd versus 13th

Salford City preview – A point under first place. Two successive League wins overturning a previous three match losing EFL sequence. It is turning out to be Salford’s best season since joining the Football League in 2019.

Cambridge United preview – Filling 13th spot but only five points beneath the leaders. Three wins among their last six League fixtures. Just the one away triumph so far though which came 2-1 at Colchester United on Tuesday 19th August.

Score prediction: Gritty 1-1.

Swindon Town v Tranmere Rovers Prediction

• Kick-off: 3pm
• Rankings: 2nd versus 17th

Swindon Town preview – Only goal difference is keeping Ian Holloway’s men off the summit. Significantly they haven’t won in three League games including drawing the past two home encounters. Swindon red hot marksman Aaron Drinan is the division’s foremost scorer on 10 goals although he was red carded in last Saturday’s FA Cup clash at Rotherham United and faces a three match suspension.

Tranmere Rovers preview – One victory in 10 League engagements leave Rovers four points above that dreaded dotted relegation line. Yet they’ve picked up nine points on the road to date.

Score prediction: Holloway happy 3-1.
