5 League One & League Two Tips - 15/4/22

Win, lose or draw Stockton seems to score. Morecambe are not having the best of times in League One at the moment, they sit 20th in the table, only above Gillingham thanks to a better goal difference of just one. Much of that is down to their striker, the league's top scorer, Cole Stockton.

Stockton has netted in the last three games for Morecambe and as we enter the business end of the season, he will no doubt be looking to push on and not only keep Morecambe playing in the third-tier but also bag himself the top scorer trophy come the end of the year.

At the other end of the table, Wigan sit comfortably in first place, four points from MK Dons in second whilst having a game in hand. They face a mid-table Cambridge United who look set to finish there or thereabouts come the end of the season.

Will Keane has been banging goals in all season for the Latics, he’s currently only one goal behind top scorers Stockton and Stewart and will be keen (no pun intended) to continue his goalscoring form and push on to ensure Wigan are back in the Championship next season and potentially with a League One golden boot to his name.

While the number 10 has been the main source of goals for Wigan this season, Striker Callum Lang is currently seventh in league goals scored and with two goals against Lincoln last Saturday, he is also playing a crucial role in the Tics title charge this season. Keane scored the other goal in a 3-1 victory vs Lincoln and it was the fifth time both have scored in the same game this season.

League two highflyers Forest Green Rovers come up against strugglers Barrow AFC who sit just 21st in the league, only just outside of the relegation zone on goal difference.

However, with the loss of league top scorer Matt Stevens to an ACL injury just a couple of weeks ago and the League’s second top scorer Jamille Matt to a concussion against Hartlepool last weekend, Josh March will have to step in not only to fill the void in goals that comes with the absence of both players but also as a means to prove himself.

March has scored four goals in as many starts for Rovers and will certainly be looking to quickly get off the mark and improve his already impressive goals to minutes ratio in the matchup against a leaky Barrow defence.

Jamie Proctor has been in fine goalscoring form of late, and with Port Vale unbeaten in their last eight (winning seven of those), he looks odds on to score again this weekend.

Proctor’s two goals against Port Vale at the weekend move him to 11 for the season in fewer games than most of his colleagues who have scored around the same.

He’s managed four goals in as many games as of late and coming up against an inconsistent Hartlepool side who have shipped 55 goals already this season, he will certainly fancy his chances to continue his fine form in front of goal.

Smith and Drinan sit fifth and seventh respectively in the League Two’s goalscoring charts with only one goal difference between the two.

Both have been in fine form for the O’s this season and fans have found largely that when they play well, they win.

They come up against bottom of the table Scunthorpe who are winless in 12 and set to reside next season playing non-league football for the first time in 76 years. With that in mind, Orient’s top scorers will no doubt be looking to pounce.

Smith missed last weekend's defeat to Sutton United through illness and will be eager to get back into the squad with a win against a defence that has conceded 76 goals this season.
