League Two Fancies

We've cast our eyes over the Sky Bet Football League and picked out a few selections who might be worth following this weekend.

Let's start down in the basement division, where Chesterfield look appealing at 11/4 to win at Notts County this weekend. The Spireites dropped out of League One last season, finishing bottom of the pile with just 37 points, but a new season offers new opportunity, and Notts County were hardly incredible themselves, finishing 16th in League One - with a goal difference of -22 - that was actually worse than Hartlepool who are now plying their trade in the National League.

Chesterfield opened their campaign this time around losing 3-1 to Grimsby, but the data suggests that wasn't a fair reflection on the match as the hosts registered 31 shots on goal to Grimsby's 11, and 11 of those on target (Grimsby 6). On another day, Gary Caldwell's men would have been celebrating a home win.

Notts County lost 3-0 themselves to Coventry - who look set for a big season - and travelling fans would have been disappointed to see their side manage just one effort on target in the 90 minutes.

Stevange found themselves pinned back for much of their opening home match against Newport County, and will not relish the short trip to Colchester this weekend.

There wasn't a great deal to separate the sides last season, and while both have shown some change in personel over the summer break, it looks like Boro might be the side struggling to settling in all their changes as quickly.

Colchester lost on the opening day of the season - going down 3-1, but pretty much matched Accrington in terms of balance of play, so we'll take them to get their home campaign off to a flyer by beating a Stevenage who leaked three goals to Newport in a six-goal thriller last week.
