EFL Tips: The Panel's Ultimate Betting Guide To The 2024/25 League Two Season

Chesterfield Hoping To Continue Recent Trend

The gap between the National League and League Two is not as big as many people might have imagined, which is good news for Chesterfield who won the fifth tier by 13 points. 

The recent trend has seen the side finishing top of the National League carrying that momentum into the next season. 

Following their promotion at the end of the 2021/22 season, Stockport County finished fourth in League Two, but missed out on promotion in the play-offs.

They made amends last season by winning the title, finishing four points clear of Wrexham, who secured successive promotions in their first campaign back in the Football League. 

Chesterfield, who are the 7/1 favourites on betting apps to win League Two, will hope that trend continues for them.

MK Dons are also 7/1 after finishing fourth in League Two last season, but they were beaten 8-1 on aggregate by Crawley, who finished eight points behind the Dons in seventh place.

Doncaster, who ended the regular season with 10 straight wins and a draw, missed out on promotion in the play-offs. 

Grant McCann's side are 9/1 to make it to League One as champions of the fourth tier.

Different Story For Newly-Promoted Bromley

While Chesterfield are the favourites, the odds on the best betting sites suggest fellow newcomers Bromley will struggle to stay up.

Bromley may have defied the odds to win the National League play-offs last season, but they are tipped to go straight back down after just one season in the Football League.

Climbing into League Two is a massive achievement for the Hayes Lane side, who will have their moments mixing it in the fourth tier of English football. 

Bromley (10/3) are second favourites to be relegated behind Morecambe, who finished 15th despite having three points deducted for failing to pay their players on time. 

Manager Derek Adams will hope to defy the 11/4 odds on new betting sites for his side to be relegated.

Harrogate finished 13th last season, but they are 4/1 third favourites for the drop out of the Football League.

Andy Hopes To Cook Up Another Prolific Season

Bradford narrowly missed out on a place in the play-offs by just one point and they will hope to go at least one better this season.

If they are to achieve promotion to League One, they will need Andy Cook to continue the form he showed last season in front of goal. 

Cook scored 17 goals for the Bantams and the 33-year-old is 14/1 to be the league's leading scorer. 

Paddy Madden is another striker tipped to do well this season.

Madden (16/1) joined Chesterfield as a free agent this summer from Stockport, where he scored 17 goals in their promotion-winning campaign. 

If the Spireites do win promotion, then the addition to their squad could be one of the best transfers in League Two this season.

Will Grigg is one of three other players on 16/1. Grigg had no problem scoring goals for Chesterfield last term, with 25 goals in 38 games, but that was in the National League.

Spireites supporters will hope Grigg is on fire this season and he can make the step up to the next level, just like Paul Mullin did for Wrexham last season.

Doncaster's Joe Ironside and MK Dons' Callum Hendry are also 16/1 on new betting sites to be League Two's leading scorer.
