The EFL Trapdoor: the League Two teams headed for the National League

With League Two being one of the lowest tiers in the system, it provides an opportunity for some teams to ascend while others find themselves fighting to stay at this last stop between non-league football.
There’s so much to play for at this point in the competition so the final weeks of the season can be incredibly tense for teams at the wrong end of the table. For punters looking to place their bets on who is dropping from League Two this season, these are the predictions of the four teams bookies at Infogol are anticipating will be going down.
Morecambe
Morecambe are one of the smallest clubs in League Two and with questions of ownership hanging over the team at the moment, there’s plenty for the club to be worrying about that could affect their performance. They survived relegation last season by just a goals difference and while Jim Bentley has put in the effort to keep them in with a fighting chance so far, it’s fair to say that it’s going to be tough for them to scrape through for a second year.
Crawley Town
Crawley have been tipped by the bookies to struggle at the end of this season, despite finishing at an average mid-table point last season under Harry Kewell. However, it’s believed that second season syndrome might strike at Broadfield Stadium this year as they’ve lost several key players, with Enzio Boldewijn taking up position at Notts County and Josh Yorwerth making the move to Peterborough United. With this in mind, it seems like it might be too much to ask of the squad to keep their heads above water long enough to stay in with a chance of remaining in League Two.
Yeovil Town
Yeovil Town look set for a long struggle of a season with a fight on their hands if they want to hold on to their League status. With the departure of some core players, it’s going to be a tough road ahead – Otis Kahn provided some much-needed power and without him, more will be expected of players such as Alex Fisher and Francois Zoko. The Glovers supporters might be able to get some value betting on their team’s success and showing faith in the squad to keep their position in League Two for the remainder of the season.
Macclesfield Town
The Silkmen won promotion back into the league in April when they won the National League title, but it’s expected that they will be in trouble this time around. The lack of quality is a concern after losing Mitch Hancox and Kieran Kennedy, as well as manager John Askey who was the force behind winning the league title. His position has been taken over by Mark Yates – his first Football League position since 2016 at Crawley – so he’s got a big job ahead of him to keep the team fired up in order to maintain a place in the EFL.
