Which teams will be promoted to League Two?

The 2016/17 season in the National League saw Forest Green Rovers and Lincoln City FC as the sides that won promotion to League Two – and so far they are enjoying a very different experience in that division; Forest Green currently struggling in the relegation zone, while Lincoln City sit comfortably in mid-table.
Several National League teams are hoping to emulate their achievement this time around, but which sides could win promotion at the end of the season?
Well the side leading the division with 16 matches played is Macclesfield Town, who have 32 points – having won 10 of their games thus far. This represents a significant early season improvement on 2016/17 for them, as last season saw them end up in ninth position – a good 20 points off the promotion places.
The club made wholesale changes to its squad during the summer, bringing in a raft of players, and the form of new striker Scott Wilson has been a major factor in their excellent start.
His goals and all-round striking play secured him the player of the month award for October and he celebrated this award by scoring the winning goal in Macclesfield's most recent league victory – away to Leyton Orient.
While it is early days, the club certainly appears in good shape to win promotion this season.
Another side that is making a strong bid to reach League Two this season is Dover Athletic, placed just below Macclesfield in the table right now on 29 points.
Last season saw Dover finish in sixth place, seven points off Forest Green and the promotion spots, so they will be very eager to go one better this time.
The club also made a number of changes to its squad during the summer that – so far at least – seem to have positioned them to challenge seriously for a League Two place. The latest player that they have brought in is James Alabi and he has a track record at this level, having scored 23 goals in 53 matches for Chester during his time at that club.
Finally there is Wrexham, who are tied on 29 points with Dover after 16 matches – a huge improvement on their 13th placed finish last season.
Goals were a real problem for Wrexham last season, as they managed just 47 in 46 games – and they have less than either of their two rivals at the top this season, with 14 scored, but are also meaner defensively, having conceded just 8.
They let in over 60 during 2016/17, so this is one area where they have really stepped up their game. If anything could stand in the way of their promotion chances, alongside a comparative lack of firepower, it is their tendency to draw games they have dominated – with a current 10-game unbeaten stretch having involved too many draws – but they are certainly contenders.
Any of these three represents a decent proposition for those considering betting on National League promotion and it is likely that such bets will be made via an app nowadays.
