With the likes of Notts County and Wrexham coming up and Forest Green Rovers, Morecambe and Accrington Stanley coming down into League Two, it looks like another tough season ahead for Scott Lindsey’s men.
And now BetVictor football betting columnist and EFL expert Gabriel Sutton has shared his predictions ahead of the 2023/24 League Two season kicking off next weekend. Sutton’s predictions will make particularly nice reading for Notts County fans, with Luke Williams’ side tipped to secure back-to-back promotions, joined by Stockport & Barrow. Ryan Reynolds’ Wrexham are predicted to have a good season alongside MK Dons, Salford and Grimsby.
At the other end of the table, Sutton is expecting Newport County to struggle. But where does he think Crawley Town will finish?
Here are Sutton’s predictions. You can view Gabriel’s comments in full on the BetVictor blog here.
