League Two Tips for Matchday 16 - Get £50 in Free Bets This Weekend

Fallen giants Bolton Wanderers host Port Vale at the University of Bolton Stadium this Saturday and will be confident of picking up three points given their recent form. In contrast, John Askey will be hoping to turn the form of his side around, having lost their last five.

Ian Evatt has done well to turn Bolton’s form around, winning their last five games in all competitions, after winning just two games in their previous 23 fixtures and five of their last seven wins have come with a scoreline of 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1.

Meanwhile, Port Vale have not picked up a point since October, losing six games in that time, all of which were by a one-goal margin. Therefore, Vale will certainly be competitive at Bolton, however, we think they will leave empty-handed once again.

Bolton to win 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 is priced at 11/4 - click this link to have this in your bet slip.

Bradford City go into a League Two fixture as underdogs for the fifth consecutive league game as they take on Carlisle United in West Yorkshire this weekend. Visitors Carlisle are now in the play-offs places and they will know that a win here could see them move to as high second in the table, but they will need a dramatic turnover in goal difference.

The Bantams have slipped down the table after losing their last three games and could find themselves in a relegation battle if their current form continues. Before Project Restart, Bradford had gone nine games unbeaten at Valley Parade but have won just two home games out seven so far this campaign.

Chris Beech’s side have lost just two of their last six away games, which were both against in-form sides in the form of Tranmere Rovers and Exeter City. We expect them to pick up their first win at Bradford since 2011 this Saturday.

Sky Bet are offering odds of 13/10 for Carlisle to win the game.

ICYMI: Read our League One tips for this weekend, including a 7/1 to throw in an acca.

Cambridge United host Oldham Athletic in what is set to be a goal-fest, with the home side being the second-highest scorers in the league and having the league’s top goalscorer Paul Mullin leading their attack.

Cambridge have won just once in their last four which has seen them drop from top of the table and into the play-off spots. However, they are unbeaten at home this season and we expect them to get back to winning ways, both teams have scored in seven of their last nine games.

The Latics can boast the highest number of goals per game, having seen an average of 3.3 goals across their 15 games this season. Both teams have scored in 10 of their last 13 league games.

Cambridge to win and both teams to score in currently 3/1 with Sky Bet.

A top of the table clash sees second host third as Cheltenham Town play Exeter City, a win for the Robins side could see them move to top of the league if Newport fail to beat Morecambe. Both sides were defeated in the play-offs last year and will be looking to go one better this season as they chase automatic promotion.

Cheltenham have averaged 2.5 goals in their 15 games this season and both teams have scored in six of their last seven games. There has also been over 2.5 goals in six of their last seven league fixtures.

Play-off final runners-up Exeter have won their last three games, scoring an impressive 13 goals in the process. There has been over 2.5 goals in each of their last eight games in all competitions and both teams have scored in six of their last eight league games.

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is 6/5 with Sky Bet.

A relegation six-pointer sees Stevenage face Southend United at the Lamex Stadium, in a game which both sides could look back on at the end of the season as a pivotal moment of their season.

Despite their league position, Stevenage are proving hard to bet and have lost just twice in their last seven. The Boro can also boast the best defence of any team outside the top nine in the table and will be confident of picking up their fifth clean sheet of the season against a Southend side who have struggled for goals this campaign.

Southend have picked up just five points in 14 games this season and scored just six goals in the process, we think their thin squad will continue to struggle over the busy December period and lose their twelfth game of the season in Hertfordshire.

Sky Bet are offering odds of 2/1 for Stevenage to win to nil or 10/1 for a 0-0.
