Both League 1 and League 2 are looking to have a competitive campaign across all teams in order to compete against each other for the title and promotion to move up the leagues. Plenty of teams are perfectly formatted to have a chance at topping their table this coming season, and so we are looking at how the teams are shaping up for the new season. With so much competition, sports betting will be even more exciting in League One and Two in the new season, so make sure to look at odds on football to keep try and secure a win.
League One
Bolton Wanderers, MK Dons and Charlton Athletic all suffered relegation from the Championship to League One last season, but they all have a good chance of winning the title in the League. The Football League One last season produced one of the top stories in the English game, aside from Leicester winning the Premier League, as Wigan‘s Will Grigg fired in 25 of Wigan Athletic‘s 83 goals in the season.
In League One, plenty of strikers managed to score over 20 goals throughout the season, including Nicky Ajose of Swindon, Sam Winnall of Barnsley, Billy Sharp of Sheffield United, Adam Armstrong of Coventry and Paddy Madden on Scunthorpe. If these strikers keep on top form and the rest of the team plays just as well throughout the season, then League One will be looking to seriously heat up throughout next season, making League One more competitive than ever.
In regards to the coming season, Bristol Rovers, and Oxford are viewed by the bookies as having a likely chance of securing promotion to the Championship, despite having only just been promoted from League Two. Sheffield United, Millwall, Bradford, Charlton Athletic, and MK Dons are all viable options for the title, so this season’s League One is going to be one of the most competitive yet.
League Two
Northampton dominated the league last season, scoring 99 points as well as being one of the league’s highest scorers with 82 goals scored, earning their place to move up the ranks and take on League One this season. However, Colchester Rovers, Doncaster Rovers, Blackpool and Crewe Alexandra were all relegated from League One last season, but according to the bookies, Doncaster Rovers are the favourites to win back promotion to League One.
The 2015/16 season saw great displays of football from the likes of Bristol Rovers, Leyton Orient and Wycombe Wanderers, with standout players including Matty Taylor, Jay Simpson, Aaron Pierre and Joe Jacobson. There’s plenty of exciting football, superb goals and excellent skills to be seen in League Two next season, and many teams will be looking closely for a rising star.
Paul Cook’s Portsmouth are hoping to finally break free of their League Two woes and move their way back up the football Leagues ladders, as they missed out on the playoffs last season. Cook already has the experience to win the trophy, having done it whilst being manager at Chesterfield, and with the strong squad that makes up Portsmouth behind him, they are tipped to lift the trophy at the end of next season.
