League Two (England) Odds & Predictions

League Two is the third-lowest division of the English Football League, and it is sometimes referred to as the English Football League Two.

Its introduction was in the 2004–05 season, after it replaced the Football League Third Division in England. There are 24 clubs competing in League Two, and all clubs play each other twice during the season—once at home and once away.

As is the case with all football leagues in England, teams get three points for a win, one for a draw, and no points if they lose the match.

At the end of the season, the top three teams in League Two, along with the winner of the play-offs from teams between 4th and 7th place, secure promotion to League One. Teams finishing last in League One to replace the promoted teams.

The logic works the same with the bottom teams in the league. They are relegated to the National League and replaced with the best teams from there.

At the moment, Mansfield Town and Newport County are the longest-serving teams in League Two. They were promoted in the 2012–13 season.

England League Two Winner Odds

Speaking of the League Two winner odds, this season Leyton Orient seem to be a level above everyone else in the tournament.

They currently lead the way in League Two and look set to secure promotion to League One. As they already have a handsome lead in the first place, they are the bookies’ favourites to secure first place comfortably and head up to League One.

Leyton Orient has been in League Two since 2019 when they secured promotion from the National League, but now it seems like they are already ready for bigger challenges.

So, with Leyton favourites to secure promotion, let’s see how they cope with other teams in terms of championships won in history. Keep in mind that here we show teams who won League Two in the current format, so from 2004–05 onward.

England League Two Relegation Odds

At the moment, it is very tight in the relegation battle in League Two, with Rochdale currently occupying the last place on the table. The 23rd and 24th-placed teams in League Two go down to the National League.

So, if you plan to place a future bet on who gets relegated from League Two, keep in mind that the League Two relegation odds will change all the time.

Last season, Oldham and Scunthorpe were the two teams who got relegated to the National League, with Stockport and Grimsby Town going up in their place.

Therefore, the League Two promotion odds will also fluctuate, depending on results and teams’ forms. As mentioned above, Leyton Orient looks set to win League Two quite comfortably, but the situation is far from finished for the rest of the promotion places.

The second and third-place teams will join the League Two winner in the League One promotion. Teams from 4th through 7th place go head-to-head to compete in playoff games to determine the final team to be promoted.

Last season, Forest Green, Exeter, Bristol Rovers, and play-off winner Port Vale headed up to League One.
