Newport County

Newport County

Saturday’s season opener at Gander Green Lane pits together Sutton and Newport County, the two teams who finished the last League Two campaign in the opposite halves of the table. Sutton were more than unfortunate not to book a place in the playoffs, and, no doubt, they will give 100% to secure a top-seven finish this time out. It has to be noted that the club chiefs have si ... Read More...

Barrow

Stockport County will look to make a flying start to the new League two campaign when they host Barrow to their Edgeley Park on Saturday. Stockport impressed in pre-season, with the team beating all Nuneaton, Chorley and Altrincham, while playing out a 2-2 draw with Bolton. The newcomers are likely to leave their hearts on the field, and seeing that they are a real force to ... Read More...

Mansfield

All eyes will be on Peninsula Stadium when Salford City and Mansfield Town square off against each other in the opening match of the season. The Lions defeated Barrow 1-0 in their last warm-up game, meaning that they are high on spirits ahead of Saturday’s clash.

Crewe

Rochdale and Crewe square off against each other at Spotland Stadium in what is expected to be a close League Two game. Rochdale’s pre-season was a mixed bag, with the team beating all Chester, Darlington, and Scunthorpe, while losing to both Port Vale and Burnley. The Dale are eager to get off to a flying start in the new League Two season, and they are surely capable of be ... Read More...

Colchester

After suffering a 2-0 loss to Cheltenham in their last warm-up game, Northampton Town will look to give fans some cheer when they kick off the new League Two campaign with a home match against Colchester United. The Cobblers were anything but impressive in pre-season, but they are still seen as hot favourites to win the season opener.

Grimsby

Leyton Orient play host to Grimsby Town at their Brisbane Road in the season opener. Leyton rolled over lower-league side Walthamstow 3-0 in their last warm-up game, meaning that they are high on confidence ahead of the visit of Grimsby. A man to watch in the home team will be Republic of Ireland international Aaron Drinan, who scored 14 goals in the League Two last term. Si ... Read More...

Swindon

EnviroVent Stadium will host Saturday’s League Two opener between Harrogate and Swindon. Harrogate finished the last season in 19th place in the standings, while made it to the playoffs where Port Vale proved to be a big catch for them.

Saturday’s football game at Brunton Park pits together Carlisle United and Crawley Town, the two teams who failed to impress in the 2021/2022 League Two campaign.

Bradford City will look to kick off the new League Two campaign in style when they take on Doncaster at Valley Parade on Saturday. The Bantams suffered a shocking 3-2 loss to lower-league side Eccleshill in their last warm-up game, but they are still seen as favourites to beat the Dons in their opener.

Plough Lane will host Saturday’s League Two game between AFC Wimbledon and Gillingham, the two teams who failed to secure the League One survival last term.
