At a time when the home side sit in third position in the standings, the visitors make the long trip North occupying 23rd place.
We say: Barrow 2-1 Swindon Town
With Swindon unbeaten away from home in the league, this may not be as plain sailing for Barrow as many people anticipate. However, we are still backing the home side to come through with the three points, potentially through a late goal.

Bradford City play host to Carlisle United on Saturday afternoon looking to bounce back from losing their early League Two unbeaten record last time out.
At a time when the Bantams sit in ninth position in the standings, the visitors to Valley Parade are down in 21st place.

With a win over high-flying Barrow this campaign, Carlisle cannot be written off from overcoming Bradford this weekend. Nevertheless, the home side could extend their unbeaten record on familiar territory to three games with a hard-fought victory.

Aiming to end a run of three consecutive losses in the early stages of the League Two season, Cheltenham Town will welcome Harrogate Town to the EV Charger Points Stadium on Saturday.
The visitors have only managed three points from their first four games following relegation from England's third tier, while their visitors are a single point better off in 16th spot at this early stage.
We say: Cheltenham Town 2-1 Harrogate Town
We anticipate a hard-fought contest on Saturday with both teams keen to bounce back to winning ways in League Two.
With home advantage on their side and a degree of renewed optimism from a midweek away victory, Cheltenham Town should fancy themselves to take all three points.

Chesterfield and Grimsby Town square off on Saturday afternoon with both clubs sitting inside the top half of the League Two standings.
However, each team is aware that defeat will see them drop into the bottom half, a consequence of only recording three wins between them thus far.
We say: Chesterfield 2-1 Grimsby Town
Although Chesterfield lost their unbeaten record last time out, it was against the league leaders. With that in mind, we are expecting Cook's side to bounce back in a competitive fixture, extending Grimsby's losing streak on their travels to three matches.

Colchester vs. Bromley (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Newly-promoted Bromley will look to continue their solid start to life in League Two when they face Colchester United on Saturday.
The hosts have made a stuttering start to the season as they sit in 15th after four games played, but they will leapfrog their opponents with a win.
We say: Colchester United 1-1 Bromley
The hosts have demonstrated in the early stages of the season that they are a capable outfit if they can just find that clinical edge in front of goal, but it remains to be seen if that will change in the short term.
Bromley meanwhile have made a solid start to their campaign and have already won away from home at Harrogate Town, demonstrating they could be tricky opposition for the U's on Saturday.

Crewe vs. Morecambe (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Morecambe will be aiming to secure their first points of the 2024-25 League Two campaign when they head to Crewe Alexandra on Saturday afternoon.
The visitors are rock bottom of the table, having lost all four of their league matches this season, while Crewe are 18th, picking up four points from their opening four games of the new campaign.
We say: Crewe Alexandra 2-1 Morecambe
Morecambe's confidence will have been lifted by their win over Wigan, but there is no getting away from the fact that it has been a tough start to the season. We are backing Morecambe to score their first league goal of the campaign on Saturday, but Crewe should have enough to emerge victorious on home soil.

We anticipate a hard-fought encounter between two of League Two's strongest sides on Saturday, and with home advantage and an abundance of quality, Doncaster Rovers could be the team to end Gillingham's unbeaten start.

Walsall will be bidding to continue their impressive start to the season when they head to MK Dons in League Two on Saturday afternoon.
The visitors have picked up nine points from four matches this term to sit second in the table, but it has been an underwhelming start from MK Dons, who are down in 19th in the division on three points.
We say: MK Dons 1-1 Walsall
Recent history favours MK Dons in this fixture, but Walsall's excellent start to the campaign cannot be ignored, so this is shaping up to be a very interesting match. We are expecting the points to be shared, though, which would not be the worst result in the world for either side.

Newport vs. Port Vale (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Newport County welcome Port Vale to Rodney Parade on Saturday in League Two, when a win for the hosts could see them end the day top of the table if other results go their way.
The visitors meanwhile are looking to avoid a fourth consecutive league game without a win after what had looked a promising start to their season.
We say: Newport County 2-1 Port Vale
Newport appear to have a knack of picking up wins in the early stages of this season, and given they have two wins from two at Rodney Parade so far, we would expect them to keep up their home form and take all three points at the expense of a Port Vale side that come into this game winless in three league outings.

Notts County vs. Accrington (Saturday, 3.00pm)
© Imago
Two teams who have made contrasting starts to the new League Two season square off on Saturday afternoon, as Notts County welcome Accrington Stanley to Meadow Lane.
The Magpies and the 'Owd Reds meet for the first time since March when they played out a 2-2 draw at the Wham Stadium.
We say: Notts County 3-1 Accrington Stanley
Notts County may have won just one of their last eight league meetings with Accrington, failing to keep a single clean sheet during this run, but they will be regarded as favourites to come out on top in Saturday's contest.
Accrington have shown signs of promise going forward in stages of games this term, but they have lost each of their last five away league games, conceding 17 goals in the process, and they may struggle to keep the hosts quiet at Meadow Lane.
