Harrogate vs. Doncaster (Saturday, 1.00pm)
Harrogate Town welcome Doncaster Rovers to the Envirovent Stadium for a bottom-half League Two clash on Saturday.
Both sides will be looking up rather than down despite their positions in the bottom half, with the middle of League Two very congested in the early stages of the second half of the season.
We say: Harrogate Town 2-0 Doncaster Rovers
Despite struggles at home this season, Harrogate have shown signs of turning that around with two fine wins at home around the festive period.
Given that only Sutton have taken fewer points than Donny's eight on the road from a possible 36 this season suggests the visitors are slightly fortunate not many sides in League Two are in action this weekend, as this could be another tough afternoon.

Barrow vs. Tranmere (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Two of the most in-form sides in League Two meet at Holker Street on Saturday, when Barrow host Tranmere Rovers.
Barrow may be faltering slightly, but Tranmere finished 2023 in supreme fashion, and picked up where they left off on New Year's Day.
We say: Barrow 1-1 Tranmere Rovers
Despite a heavy defeat to Wrexham, Barrow have still performed well in some difficult games during their three-match winless run.
Even though Tranmere are 11 places below Barrow heading into this one, they will still fancy their chances given recent form, and it could be a tight encounter.

Bradford vs. Crawley (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Bradford City welcome Crawley Town to Valley Parade in a League Two encounter on Saturday between two sides with very little to separate them.
There is only one place between the two heading into the weekend, with Crawley propping up the top half and Bradford at the summit of the bottom half.
We say: Bradford City 1-1 Crawley Town
With very little to separate the sides, it is difficult to pick a winner between two teams who have shown glimpses of late but have ultimately fallen back in the playoff race.
Crawley do have a fine record against Bradford, though, and are capable of getting a result here to remain above their hosts for the weekend.

Mansfield vs. Crewe (Saturday, 3.00pm)
League Two title favourites Mansfield Town welcome Crewe Alexandra to the One Call Stadium on Saturday, looking to keep their superb run going.
The Stags recorded a huge win over current league leaders Stockport County on New Year's Day to move into the ascendancy for top spot in League Two.
We say: Mansfield Town 2-0 Crewe Alexandra
Mansfield have not been the flashiest side chasing promotion, but they have been effective, and another win here could take them top should results elsewhere go their way.
After three straight away wins, Crewe are now in danger of extending their winless run on the road to five following those successes, and this could be a difficult afternoon against the in-form team in League Two.

Salford City vs. Forest Green (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Salford City will be desperate to avoid a fifth successive defeat in League Two when they host Forest Green Rovers on Saturday.
The visitors, meanwhile, are winless in their last nine league games and will travel to Greater Manchester at the foot of the table.
We say: Salford City 2-1 Forest Green Rovers
Neither team would have expected to be facing relegation trouble at this stage of the season, but that is the reality both sides face for the time being at least. Despite being unlikely to have a permanent manager in place for this meeting, Salford will sense an opportunity to put some distance between themselves and the bottom two.
Forest Green have improved since appointing Deeney as their manager, but they appear out of sorts on the road, and we can see more pain for them in the short-term before potentially escaping relegation by the end of the campaign.

Swindon vs. Colchester (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Colchester United will begin life under the new management of Danny Cowley on Saturday, when they make the trip to the County Ground to take on Swindon Town.
The new boss takes over a U's side who sit 22nd in the League Two table on the back of three straight losses, while their hosts find themselves 16th in the midst of a tough run of their own.
We say: Swindon Town 0-2 Colchester United
Colchester United will hope that Cowley's appointment has an immediate positive impact on the squad, and against a Swindon Town side who have just lost their two main attacking outlets at the start of the month, we fancy the visitors to prevail in their first game under new management this weekend.
