Round 44 of the 2024-25 League Two season will see Newport County and Walsall go head-to-head against each other at Rodney Parade on Monday afternoon.
After claiming a 2-0 triumph in the reverse fixture, the away side have the opportunity to complete a first-ever league double against their hosts in a meeting between two teams currently undergoing a rough patch.
We say: Newport County 1-2 Walsall
Both teams have struggled to keep opponents at bay of late, and we expect neither to come away with a clean sheet.
That said, we are also tipping the visitors to secure all three points, albeit via only a narrow margin.

Fresh off ending a six-match winless League Two run, Accrington Stanley welcome in-form second-bottom Carlisle United in Easter Monday's gameweek 44 relegation six-pointer at the Wham Stadium.
The Stanley beat playoff hopefuls Salford City 2-1 on Good Friday, securing a timely away victory since February, and they seek consecutive league victories since early January against an opponent hoping to avoid consecutive relegations.
We say: Accrington Stanley 1-1 Carlisle United
Carlisle's previous two away wins in 2025 have been followed by defeats, which is a portent for Monday's fixture.
However, with their hosts, Accrington, not in the finest form, the spoils could be shared in a score draw.

With just three matches remaining in the League Two season, Tranmere Rovers make the trip to Holker Street to face Barrow, hoping for a win that will steer them further away from the relegation zone.
The visitors sit just four points above the drop zone and in desperate need of a strong finish to the campaign, to guarantee their safety.
We say: Barrow 1-1 Tranmere Rovers
Tranmere need one more win to seal their League Two survival, and this will offer the visitors an extra incentive heading into this game, but Barrow have found momentum recently and should do enough to avoid defeat.

Chesterfield vs. Bradford (Monday, 3.00pm)

With just three games left in the League Two season, Chesterfield host Bradford City on Monday in a match that could shape both sides' end-of-season ambitions.
The home side are three points off the play-off places and must go on a winning run if they are to mount a late push, while the visitors are clinging on to the final automatic promotion spot by a single point, but recent form suggests they could yet be dragged into the play-off mix.
We say: Chesterfield 1-1 Bradford City
While Chesterfield have won just one of their last four matches, they are unbeaten in the last three, drawing two and winning one in that period, proving that they are difficult to beat in recent matches.
Bradford, on the other hand, have lost two and drawn two along with one win in their last five, and are looking increasingly weak defensively, though we believe they have enough to earn a draw here.

Crewe vs. MK Dons (Monday, 3.00pm)

As the League Two season enters its final stretch, Crewe Alexandra welcome MK Dons to Gresty Road on Monday afternoon in a fixture that holds great significance for both sides.
With just three matches left to play, the hosts are still in with a chance of breaking into the play-off places, while the Dons are aiming to secure their Football League status once and for all.
We say: Crewe Alexandra 1-1 MK Dons
Warne appears to have brought an instant impact to MK Dons' defensive structure, and we expect him to approach this game with cautiousness given that one point might likely secure his team's survival.
Crewe have struggled in recent weeks and are not likely to break down the visitors if they set up to be defensively solid, which is why we are expecting a draw.

Doncaster vs. Colchester (Monday, 3.00pm)

Fresh off the back of returning to winning ways last time out, Doncaster Rovers will go in search of consecutive victories for the first time since early March when they welcome Colchester United to Eco-Power Stadium on Monday.
Both teams are currently in contention for promotion as they sit second and seventh in the League Two table respectively heading into the final three matches of the season.
We say: Doncaster Rovers 3-1 Colchester United
Despite their no-show in attack against Crewe, Colchester have had little problem finding the back of the net all season long, and we are backing them to enjoy another field day in front of goal en route to a routine triumph.

Gillingham vs. AFC Wimbledon (Monday, 3.00pm)

Off the back of respective stalemates last time out, Gillingham and AFC Wimbledon will be keen to go one better in Monday's encounter at the Priestfield Stadium.
The home side fell to a narrow 1-0 defeat in this season's reverse fixture against their visitors, who now have the opportunity to complete a league double.
We say: Gillingham 1-2 AFC Wimbledon
Wimbledon have been hard to breach of late, but we are backing Gillingham to get themselves on the scoresheet, albeit all to no avail in a narrow defeat.

Harrogate vs. Fleetwood (Monday, 3.00pm)

Harrogate Town will be looking to guarantee their safety in League Two when they go head to head with Fleetwood Town at the Exercise Stadium on Monday.
The Cod Army are on a run of four consecutive games without defeat against the home side and will aim to extend this solid run and secure a third win in four games on the road since late March.
We say: Harrogate Town 2-1 Fleetwood Town
While it has been a turbulent campaign for Harrogate, they could secure their league status for another season this weekend and we expect them to take the game to Fleetwood in front of their home supporters. Weaver's men have been tough to crack at home since the turn of the year and we are tipping them to see off the inconsistent visitors, albeit by the odd goal.

Morecambe vs. Salford City (Monday, 3.00pm)

Needing maximum points to keep their slim survival hopes alive, Morecambe play host to Salford City at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium in round 44 of League Two on Monday.
The Ammies head into the game unbeaten in their last five outings on the road, picking up three wins and two draws, and will look to extend this fine run as they push for playoff qualification.
We say: Morecambe 0-2 Salford City
Morecambe find themselves eight points away from safety with just three games to go and must secure maximum points here and hope for favourable results elsewhere to keep their slim survival hopes alive.
However, Salford have been rock-solid on their travels in recent weeks and we predict they will deliver the final blow to what has been an underwhelming campaign for the home side.

Promotion-chasing Notts County will clash with Cheltenham Town at Meadow Lane in their gameweek 44 League Two encounter.
The hosts are sixth in the standings with 69 points, while the visitors are 10 places below them with 54 points from 43 matches.
We say: Notts County 2-0 Cheltenham Town
With the home side boasting a lot of quality and desperate for points in their promotion bid, we expect Notts County to claim a routine 2-0 win over the visitors.

Port Vale vs. Grimsby Town (Monday, 3.00pm)

Grimsby Town will be the guests of Port Vale at Vale Park on Monday, knowing that they need a win to have a shot at getting into the top seven of the League Two table.
While the hosts are already sure of at least a playoff berth, the visitors, who have 66 points, are one place below the final playoff spot.
We say: Port Vale 2-0 Grimsby Town
With both sides desperate for much-needed points, we can only envisage a fiercely contested match, but with Port Vale being the favourites and considering the quality within their ranks, we reckon the hosts will earn a 2-0 win.

Two teams separated by one point will clash at the County Ground, as Swindon Town host Bromley in their Monday League Two clash.
The hosts sit 12th in the standings with 60 points, while the visitors are 13th in the table with 59 points from 43 fixtures.
We say: Swindon Town 2-1 Bromley
Swindon have been in great shape in the last few weeks, and with Holloway's men playing in front of their fans, we expect them to claim a 2-1 win on Monday.
