League Two outright title winner, promotion, top seven finish and relegation odds

The League Two outright title winner, promotion, top seven finish and relegation odds for the 2022/23 season is revealed by bookmakers.

Following Grimsby Town’s National League playoff final victory against Mansfield Town at the London Stadium at the weekend, the line-up for next season’s League Two was completed.

It’s expected to be another highly competitive campaign, some clubs hoping for an immediate return to the third tier after relegation and there are others dubbed outsiders or underdogs who will be eyeing a promotion place. Unprecedented points hauls were required to reach the playoffs in 2021/22 due to the strength of the teams in the top half, and that looks set to continue.

These are the dates for your diaries in 2022/23.

@sharpbe01: Us , Orient , Gillingham up then Doncaster through play offs beating Wimbledon #stfc

@AlexRC077: Top 3 – 1. bradford 2. Northampton 3. Orient

@AndeyHusted: It doesn’t matter who is the league. You win at home get a point away then you should be up there at the end of the season. Up the Saddlers

@A1exGB: Carlisle finishing 7th then winning play offs

@Kozzy78: So depressing… STFC

@mrwendywill: going to be an interesting league, can’t call it. look forward to seeing how this pans out.

@Baz_GTFC: Absolutely nothing to fear going into this league. Keeping the right players/making some good additions and we can have a good go at it, maybe a play off push? #gtfc

@Hadyn404: Massive Coca Cola league two vibes there. What a pile of shit L2 is this year 🤣

@OscroftOfficial: Is it me or does this league get progressively more tinpot each season? Please for the love of god let it be our last season in League 2

@aidanbill98: This HAS to be the most tinpot league lineup of all time

@ctfc_b: What a shit looking league, if the new owners are actually serious then next season is a genuine chance to go up.

@_AjmWilliams: If Northampton don’t win this league with 100+ points their team will have blood on their hands – miles clear of most teams there

@Ben1stephenson: Why would you wake up on a Saturday excited to go to any of these grounds, that is 1 fucking depressing league

@cain_cfc: Mad that the National league is stronger than league 2!

@bowers_cameren: If we don’t go up this year I have no hope we will ever get out of this league #bcafc

@OcBen: This is the most random league 2 I’ve ever seen

@jraistrick56: If we don’t get promoted, seriously gonna question if we’re ever gonna get out of this embarrassment of a league #bcafc

@Hatters83Capo: Announce League one @StockportCounty

@ChirpsByJames: That’s the worst League Two I’ve ever seen. Bit of ambition and Donny would be top 3 easy. Current board will do it cheap, come 12th, claim a great campaign of consolidation.

@RICKY93JB: How depressing is this from a Gills point of view?! 🤢🤮 #Gills

@18Dapper: Bring on League 2. Going to be tough. #DRFC must turn the tide immediately to help unite the fans.
