English Sky Bet League 2 Outrights Odds

League Two is the Football League's bottom division, with each team vying to advance to the next step in the football pyramid. 

It’s also one of England’s most exciting leagues, with every team in the division in with a pre-season chance of making it to League One by the end of the campaign. 

Here, we look at the League Two promotion odds and consider the teams that will most likely secure promotion to League One, the third tier of English football, for next season.  

We also explain how you can bet on League Two football and other markets at Parimatch. 

A History of Promotions from League Two: Which Teams Have the Best Record?

One of the main things to check when backing a team to gain promotion from League Two is whether they’ve achieved the feat before.  

Some teams just have a knack for winning promotion from the third tier, only to find themselves back in League Two sooner rather than later due to their inability to compete at the higher level.  

But as a sports bettor, you can use this knowledge to your advantage. Since League Two was established in the 2004/05 season, Northampton Town and Bristol Rovers are the most successful teams at gaining promotion from the division, securing passage to League One four times apiece.  

Swindon Town and Chesterfield are the most successful League Two champions, having won the league twice. 

So, when Northampton, Bristol Rovers, Swindon, and Chesterfield are in League Two, they could be a good option to back for promotion.

Promotion from League Two differs from promotion from League One and the Championship as four teams, not three, secure promotion at the end of the season. 

There are three automatic promotion places in League Two, with the teams finishing fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh qualifying for the post-season playoffs. 

As a result, four teams are relegated from League One each season to make way for the four promoted teams from League Two. 

Regarding League Two relegation, only two teams lose their Football League status, as two teams are promoted from the National League each season. 

You’ll find the latest odds for each team to get promoted from League Two this season. Their odds reflect their position in the league table and change each week as the promotion race heats up.  

When deciding which teams to back for promotion from League Two, consider their form, fixtures, and injury lists. It’s also worth checking their recent history to see whether they’ve mounted a successful promotion push before.  

At the business end of the season, teams inexperienced at the top of the table can crumble under the pressure of expectation, making it a great opportunity to identify value in this market.  

We constantly refresh our League Two promotion odds on this page, and you can see which teams are in the running below.

Alongside Walsall, Doncaster, Notts County and Wimbledon, Bradford City, Crewe Alexandra, and Port Vale all fancy their chances of gaining promotion this year. Just outside the playoff spots, Salford City, Chesterfield, and Grimsby Town may also launch a late-season charge.

There are several ways to bet on the promotion race as we enter the latter stages of the League Two season:

• Winner: Bet on the team you think will win the League Two title at the end of the season. The winning team gains automatic promotion to League One.
• Promotion: Place a wager on any of the four teams you think will gain promotion to League One. This can be via the automatic promotion places or the end-of-season playoffs.
• Top three finish: Here, you can back the three teams that you think will gain automatic promotion from League Two without requiring the playoffs.
• Top seven finish: Place a bet on the teams you think will finish in the top seven places in League Two. Remember, the teams that finish 1-3 in the table go up automatically, while those in positions 4-7 will contest the playoffs, with only one team gaining promotion via the playoffs.

You can bet on numerous other League Two markets at Parimatch, including the player you think will end the season as the top scorer.  

Another option is to bet on the teams you think will lose their Football League status at the end of the season. Remember, only two teams go down at the end of the League Two season, given that there are only two promotion berths from the National League.
