Steve Freeth's EFL League Two betting update

bet365's Steve Freeth brings you up to date with all of the latest betting markets after a pulsating start to the League Two season in the EFL.

After agonisingly missing out on promotion to League One in a penalty shootout defeat against Carlisle United in the play-off final at Wembley in May, Stockport County have bounced back in terrific fashion to lead the way in League Two so far this term.

The Hatters are currently priced at 11/10 to be crowned champions in England's fourth tier, with third-placed Mansfield Town second in the reckoning at 9/4 and last year's National League winners Wrexham third favourites at 3/1.

As expected, Wrexham have been one of the biggest talking points in League Two with Hollywood owners pulling the strings, and after a somewhat rocky start Phil Parkinson's side have put themselves firmly in promotion contention.

The Welsh outfit's National League title rivals last year Notts County are also in a promising position in the table in fifth, with the Magpies given odds of 10/1 to win the title and Evens to be promoted.

At the opposite end of the table, it is Nigel Adkins' Tranmere who are 4/5 favourites to go down, whilst the two sides who are currently occupying the relegation spots - Sutton United and Forest Green - are next in the betting for relegation at Evens and 6/4 respectively.

As for the race to finish as League Two's Top Goalscorer, Notts County's goal machine Macaulay Langstaff is the 7/2 favourite after bagging an astonishing 41 goals in the National League last season, with the current leader in the standings Matt Smith the second favourite at 9/2.

Any odds displayed were correct at the time of writing and are subject to fluctuation.
