League Two GW5 Betting Tips and Preview

The WhatAcca.com EFL League Two GW5, a.k.a Game Week 5 Preview has just gone live!

We’ve got a full programme of League Two fixtures and a chance to see whether Bradford City and Forest Green Rovers can continue their excellent start to the season. League Two offers excellent value considering that the bookies don’t have a handle on the teams in this division. Especially when compared to a high-profile league like the Premier League. We aim to take full advantage with our predictions.

SATURDAY 28TH AUGUST

Forest Green Rovers 15:00 Port Vale

Port Vale have managed to keep things tight in every League Two match played to date. With Darrell Clarke’s side keen to make life difficult for a Forest Green side who were rampant when thrashing Crawley. A hard-fought draw at Stevenage might be repeated and any FGR win might come by a more slender margin than their previous game.

Harrogate Town 15:00 Exeter City

Harrogate are playing catch up after COVID-19 cases. Although the Yorkshire side have banked some early points thanks to home wins over Rochdale and Barrow. This game comes off the back of a trip to London to play Leyton Orient midweek. We’re expecting a high-scoring encounter. Especially considering Exeter cast off the shackles to thrash Bristol Rovers last weekend.

Hartlepool United 15:00 Carlisle United

Something of a local derby taking place in the north-east.  With Carlisle making a relatively short journey from Cumbria. We think they’re a better bet to claim three points. Chris Beech’s side are unbeaten this season. They recently played out a competitive clash with an in-form Leyton Orient side intent on promotion.

Leyton Orient 15:00 Bradford City

Two of the stronger teams in League Two clash. With Bradford City finding ways to win football matches late in the day. The Bantams offer a serious goal threat under Derek Adams this season although the same applies to Kenny Jackett’s team who have five goals in three matches played to date.

Salford City 15:00 Newport County

You know exactly what you get with Newport County. They produced a professional performance to nullify Tranmere and win 1-0 last weekend. They won’t be daunted by facing a Salford City side who have started the season slowly.  Although they will adopt a pragmatic approach in Manchester and things should be tight.

Scunthorpe United 15:00 Tranmere Rovers

Tranmere will hope to have landed some new recruits before this clash at Glanford Park. With the Wirral team having scored one goal in 360 minutes. On the flip side, they have only conceded once and will continue to operate with a three-man central defence. Scunthorpe are similarly short of goals.  With Neil Cox’s side yet to experience a victory this season and a dull game looks virtually certain.

Swindon Town 15:00 Mansfield Town

Mansfield Town have found ways not to win their past couple of matches after a bright start to the campaign. They conceded a late equaliser at Colchester after dominating and then created enough chances to beat Bradford. Although Nigel Clough was damning of the way his team defended. We’re backing them to beat a Swindon side who have started decently but don’t have the players to achieve greatness.

Walsall 15:00 Stevenage

Walsall have looked bright in the majority of their matches this season. Although confidence levels have dropped after some poor results and it might be that their opponents can take advantage. Alex Revell’s side were soundly beaten at Bradford but they’re generally competitive in this division and should be able to edge this one.

There could be lots of value on the League Two betting coupon this weekend. With lots of data available after several rounds of games. Some of the leading sides such as Bradford could experience a high win percentage this season and we’re always looking for exciting new betting angles.
