Walsall
- Walsall FC have been the model of consistency at the top of League Two in 2025-2026, racking up 40 points from 21 matches and remaining in top spot for the majority of the campaign.
- Mat Sadler’s men have been pragmatic in their approach this season, playing a compact game with a focus on disciplined pressing and counter attacking when they win the ball back.
-
They’ve turned the Bescot Stadium into a fortress with six wins from 10 home games in League Two this term, conceding just 11 times in the process.
- six wins from 10 home games
- conceding just 11 times
Crewe Alexandra
- Crewe Alexandra have had a solid, if unspectacular campaign in League Two so far, sitting 10th in the table after picking up 32 points from 21 games.
-
This has created a solid foundation for his young team to perform in League Two and his side have scored 16 times in ten away games, but have only won four.
- 16 goals in 10 away games
- only 4 away wins
-
Crewe’s last three games have been a 2-2 draw at home to Newport County, a 4-1 win at Tranmere Rovers, and a 1-1 tie at home to Bristol Rovers.
- 2-2 vs Newport County (H)
- 4-1 vs Tranmere Rovers (A)
- 1-1 vs Bristol Rovers (H)
- Away from home, they have won one and lost one in their last two, so their form isn’t exactly top-notch.
