The English Football League (EFL) League Two 2025-26 season is set to be an exciting one, with several teams vying for the title. Fans are rushing to find a solid bet b2b platform on which to make their own predictions.

There are some high-profile managers in the league this year. There has been some phenomenal business done in the transfer market. Some top talent has joined the league.

It's a difficult one to call, and the title should be very tightly contested in 2025-26.

Let's take a closer look at the favourites, their strengths, weaknesses, and the players who could make a difference for each side.

MK Dons (3/1 favourites)

MK Dons, managed by Paul Warne, are the bookies' favourites with odds of 3/1. Despite finishing 19th last season, the club's goal is promotion. The management duo of Warne and Richie Barker are known for their promotion-winning capabilities and have been backed in the transfer market.

Key signings include Nathaniel Mendez-Laing from Derby and Aaron Collins from Bolton. However, the team will need to overcome the hangover from a disappointing campaign last season. The difference-maker for MK Dons could be Mendez-Laing, who is expected to provide them with much-needed width and creativity.

Chesterfield (7/1)

Chesterfield, managed by Paul Cook, are next in line with odds of 7/1. After making the playoffs last season, the team is expected to at least reach that stage again. They have gone big in the transfer market by acquiring some very talented young players who fans will hope can push them to a top-three finish this season, and maybe even the title.

The team's strengths lie in their up-tempo passing, with new signing Ryan Stirk, who has arrived from Walsall, expected to play a key role. However, they will need to address their defensive issues, having conceded the joint-most goals in the top eight last season. Dilan Markanday, a new signing from Blackburn, could be the one to watch for Chesterfield.

Bristol Rovers (14/1)

Bristol Rovers, managed by Darrell Clarke, are priced at 14/1. After being relegated from League One last season, the team is expected to at least challenge for a top-seven finish. Clarke's return has galvanised the club, and they look sound defensively.

However, the team's main concern is their lack of goals. If they can keep record signing Promise Omochere fit, it could be a significant benefit. Kamil Conteh, who was restricted to only 18 league starts last season due to injury, could play a crucial role in the midfield.

Swindon Town (14/1)

Swindon, managed by Ian Holloway, are also priced at 14/1. After a poor start last season, the team found form in the second half and are hoping to carry that momentum into the new season.

The team's strengths lie in their continuity and physicality, with Harry Smith embodying a Swindon team that can handle the rough stuff. However, they lack a backup for Smith and will need to manage the fractious relations between fans and owners. Jake Tabor, a new signing from Amersham Town, could be the difference-maker for Swindon.
