Let's take a look at the latest betting and odds as part of our betting guide for League Two.
League Two predictions 2025/26: Title winners
Having finished 19th last season, it might be surprising that MK Dons are being so heavily tipped, but they have gone big in the market this summer under new boss Paul Warne and are aiming high.
Their very average start to the season has seen them now fall from clear favourites to joint favourites to win League Two, alongside a Walsall side that collapsed in the second-half of last season.
There's a strong chasing pack after the two frontrunners, and keep an eye out for Ian Holloway's Swindon, who finished last season in fine style and have added to their squad this summer, they have won six of their nine matches to sit at 7/1, alongside Carabao Cup high-flyers Grimsby.
Paul Cook and Chesterfield were deemed as promotion favourites, too, and started well initially but the Spireites have since drifted down the odds list.
Here's the current leading contenders to win the title.
| League Two Winner | Odds |
| Milton Keynes Dons | 9/2 |
| Walsall | 11/2 |
| Swindon Town | 6/1 |
| Chesterfield | 13/2 |
| Grimsby Town | 9/1 |

League Two predictions 2025/26: Relegation candidates
In the wild west of the lower reaches of League Two, it is almost impossible to predict who will go down, but some sides appear set for a season-long scrap.
Newport County have finished 22nd in each of the last three campaigns, and sooner or later will surely drop into the National League. Shrewsbury and Cheltenham are the only two sides below them after nine matches played - they all have just one win apiece.
