League Two Predictions and Tips – Saturday 1 January

Forest Green remain top of League Two despite the majority of teams having played more games than them. Northampton have a tricky trip to Swindon on New Year’s Day. While Tranmere Rovers have recently shot up the table after a spate of wins. We look ahead to some of the League Two fixtures on 1 January and make predictions.

Harrogate Town 15:00 Port Vale

It’s been a long time since Port Vale played a match. Darrell Clarke’s side lost at Newport on Saturday 11 December and it turned out to be their final game of 2021. They now head to North Yorkshire to clash with a Harrogate side who have scored eighteen goals. However also conceded as many on their own patch. It seems logical to go for both teams to find the net here.

Leyton Orient 15:00 Bristol Rovers

Another League Two game that is hard to predict. Orient enjoyed a couple of emphatic home wins a couple of weeks ago. Although Kenny Jackett’s side have lost their last two clashes. Meanwhile, Bristol Rovers’ last clash was a 4-2 win over Rochdale although that happened on 11 December. We anticipate that this one could be a high-scoring encounter.

Rochdale 15:00 Mansfield Town

Mansfield completed a brilliant comeback to overcome Hartlepool on Boxing Day. With Nigel Clough’s team enjoying the winning habit right now. The Stags have won ten of their previous eleven clashes and they can land the points at Spotland. Dale did land a 3-0 win over Newport although that had been preceded by three straight defeats.

Salford City 15:00 Tranmere Rovers

There have been COVID-19 cases within the Tranmere camp, although the Wirral side are in fine fettle for this short trip to Manchester. Micky Mellon is up to his old tricks at Prenton Park, with the latest victory being a 2-0 win over Barrow. Defensively the visitors are stronger than any other side in the division, with Salford averaging little more than a goal per home game.

Swindon Town 15:00 Northampton Town

We might expect a tight clash between two League Two promotion hopefuls. Swindon are often involved in low-scoring games at home, while Northampton are a pragmatic side who will look to get the basics right in this New Year clash. The draw is a definite runner although Under 2.5 Goals could be the right call here.
