Two teams in dire need of an urgent lift will seek to get back to winning ways on Monday afternoon when Barrow and Rochdale lock horns at Holker Street.

The hosts are currently on a run of one win in seven matches, while their visitors have suffered defeat in each of their last five outings.

We say: Barrow 1-0 Rochdale

With both teams on a dismal run of results heading into this one, we anticipate a nervy and cagey affair. That said, we can also see Barrow just about edging out Rochdale to claim a hard-fought three points.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Newport vs. Crawley (Monday, 3.00pm)

Two teams struggling towards the bottom of the League Two table will lock horns on Monday, as Newport County welcome Crawley Town to Rodney Parade.

The home side are currently 18th in the division, picking up 24 points from their 23 league matches this term, while Crawley are 20th, boasting 21 points from their opening 23 fixtures of 2022-23.

We say: Newport County 1-0 Crawley Town

It is difficult to ignore Crawley's recent struggles when picking a result in this contest. Newport are without a victory in their last three, but they were impressive against Orient last time out, and we believe that home advantage will allow Coughlan's side to secure an important three points in this match.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Northampton Town set out to begin 2023 on a positive note when they play host to Leyton Orient at the Sixfields Stadium on Monday afternoon.

Both teams failed to come out on top in their final outings of 2022 and will now seek to kick off the New Year with three very important points.

We say: Northampton Town 1-1 Leyton Orient

Northampton Town have not fared well in this fixture of late, but their recent home record should give them reason for optimism. We expect an open and end-to-end clash with both teams going for maximum points, albeit all to no avail, with honours even in the end.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Two teams who have made highly contrasting starts to the 2022-23 League Two season go head-to-head on Monday as Stevenage entertain the challenge of Gillingham.

The hosts are without defeat in eight of their last nine matches heading into this one, while their visitors have been beaten in four of their most recent five outings.

We say: Stevenage 3-1 Gillingham

Given the sides' respective forms heading into this one, Gillingham will fancy themselves to come away with all three points with relative ease. We fancy the hosts to get the job done and kick off 2023 on a winning note.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
