"Reading have lost both of their young centre backs Bindon and Mbengue and also look set to lose last season’s top scorer Harvey Knibbs. Manager Noel Hunt has cut a frustrated figure in recent interviews, bemoaning the club missing out on transfer targets.

Lincoln have been solid under Michael Skubala for a while now and having scored ten goals in four friendlies. They did the double over Reading last season and look set to make it three wins in a row."

"Barnsley’s games under Conor Hourihane have been chaos with both teams scoring in all of his 10 games in charge. He seems to have adopted an all-out-attack approach and with little at stake in the early stages of the season, we can expect that to continue.

Plymouth have a new man in Tom Cleverley who will be hoping to guide Argyle back to the Championship. Cleverley’s spell at Watford saw an average of 2.58 goals per game with an equal split between his side and their opponents and so all signs in this game point towards goals."

"These two sides were 1st and 4th in terms of goals scored last season in League Two. They both have the same manager going into the new season so we can expect to see similar approaches.

Walsall may be tense and have defensive jitters after bottling promotion last season. That wouldn't be ideal against a Swindon side who possess a striker in Harry Smith who I think could go close to winning the golden boot."

"Bradford boasted the best home record in League Two last season, avoiding defeat in 21 of their 23 home games and scoring 39 goals in the process. They only conceded 13 goals in those, but expect that record to loosen against better quality.

They’ll be lining up against Wycombe, who finished in the playoff spots last season. They scored 43 goals across their 23 away games, more than any other side in the division."
