We’ll be concentrating on matches in League One and League Two as teams seek to build on their performances from the first four games of the season.

Bet of the Day
Barrow to win against Swindon @ 3/4
Barrow has had a strong start to their League Two season, clinching three victories out of their first four matches. The Bluebirds appear to be a solid bet at home against a struggling Swindon side on Saturday.
managed by Stephen Clemence, Barrow showcased their capabilities by defeating Port Vale and Crewe at Holker Street. They also demonstrated resilience against higher-tier opponents, holding Championship team Derby to a goalless draw in the EFL Cup and winning in penalties, while also pushing League One leaders Bolton in a narrow 3-2 EFL Trophy defeat midweek.
In contrast, Swindon has yet to secure a win in their first six matches, suffering heavy losses, including a 4-0 defeat to Walsall and a 4-2 setback at Crawley. Their recent EFL Trophy outing saw them lose 2-1 to Exeter on Tuesday, which suggests they may be headed for another rough match.
Special of the Day
Over 3.5 goals in Notts County vs. Accrington @ 11/10
Notts County is favored to outperform Accrington on Saturday, but betting on a high-scoring affair at Meadow Lane seems more enticing.
The Magpies have witnessed a total of 18 goals in their last four games, and both of their home matches this season have exceeded the 3.5 goal mark. Stuart Maynard’s squad has scored six times across their first two home games alone.
With Accrington yielding 18 goals in their six competitive fixtures this season, they are likely to struggle defensively against Notts County. They’ve conceded three goals against Tranmere, Harrogate, and Newport, with four goals allowed on opening day against Doncaster, and Stockport adding another four during a midweek clash.
Nevertheless, Accrington has managed to score in all but one of their matches, suggesting they could participate in what promises to be a thrilling goal-fest.
Long Shot of the Day
Barnsley to win both halves against Bristol Rovers @ 19/5
Barnsley had an impressive victory, defeating Crawley 3-0 last weekend, and they could present a tough challenge for Bristol Rovers at Oakwell.
Darrell Clarke’s team had an expected goals tally of 3.53 and fired off 15 shots in their last appearance against Crawley, following a prior solid performance edging out Championship side Sheffield United 1-0 in the EFL Cup.
Bristol Rovers have yet to secure an away win this season, and while they managed a 2-0 League One victory over Cambridge last weekend, that form appears questionable.
At 19/5, Barnsley looks well-positioned to leverage their quality and attacking prowess to claim victory in both halves of this match.
