Double-figure quotes about 23 of the 24 teams in League 2 at the start of season 2007/8 tells you everything you need to know about this division. Namely that it's hard enough picking a winner of the league, let alone selecting the teams that will ultimately be promoted and relegated. In the Promotion market, it's worth bearing in mind that four teams go up altogether - three automatically and one through the play-offs.

League 2 also differs from the top three flights in that only two teams are relegated every year and, at the risk of sounding rather cruel, it's well worth keeping an eye out for League 2 clubs who may be struggling to make ends meet financially. Naturally, if clubs have to sell their best players to stay afloat, this inevitably means they may struggle as a result.

This is also a division where bookmakers often base their match odds on each respective team's league position, rather than the form table. An example of this can be found when Macclesfield travelled to Notts County in December 2006 and were given quotes of 9/2 by some firms, despite new manager Paul Ince starting to turn things round for the Silkmen.
