EFL League Two table: how to read points and goal difference
The gap from top to bottom is 7 points. Barnet lead on 7 with a difference of +4; Rochdale sit last on 0. Barnet and Walsall are level on points, with goal difference deciding first place.
Bristol Rovers score most with 9 goals. Crewe Alexandra defend best, conceding 0, while Newport County have shipped 7 — the spread between those two says how uneven the league is at the back.
A club takes 1.35 points per match on average and scores 3.8 goals across the season. The median is 4 points (Rotherham United), with 10 clubs above it. The median describes a league better than the mean does: one runaway side pulls the mean up and barely moves the median.
The drop zone is 2 points from safety: Gillingham sit 21th on 2, against Rochdale on 0. Those are the numbers that decide the closing weeks.
EFL League Two home and away: split points
The EFL League Two table recomputes separately for home fixtures and for away ones. They are the same matches split by venue, so points in the two tables always sum back to the overall one.
Oldham Athletic take the most at home, 6 points from 2 matches, while Fleetwood Town lead away on 4 — more often different clubs than you would expect.
Oldham Athletic depend on their ground most: 6 points at home against 0 away, a gap of 6. Fleetwood Town show the smallest split at -3. Across the league a club takes 1.4 more points at home than away.
EFL League Two: goals, averages and difference
Across 36 matches the league has produced 90 goals, 2.5 per game. Home sides win 50% of the time, both teams score in 50%, and 50% finish over 2.5.
Cheltenham Town carry the flattest goal difference at 0 — clubs on those numbers usually sit mid-table, equally far from the title and the drop.

EFL League Two: division size and what it changes
The size of a division changes how its figures read. With 24 clubs each plays 3 matches, and a run of three or four results moves a position further than it would in a league twice the size: the sample is smaller, so chance weighs more.
For the same reason the points gap between neighbouring places tends to be narrower here and the middle of the table reorders more often. Goal difference is especially useful in a division this size, because it accumulates across every match and depends less on who a club happened to face recently.
Comparing this division with others on absolute numbers — goals scored, points taken — means little where the number of rounds differs. What compares is the relative measures: points per match, scoring rate, the share of draws.
England: the divisions and where EFL League Two sits
We cover 4 divisions in England. Above this one sit Premier League, EFL Championship, EFL League One.
Tranmere Rovers have drawn most at 2, Oldham Athletic fewest at 0. Crewe Alexandra defend best on the road, conceding 0 away from home.
EFL League Two: match results and head-to-head
The widest result of the season is Gillingham against Walsall, 0-3, a margin of 3. The highest-scoring match is Bristol Rovers against Newport County at 5-3, 8 goals in all.
11 of 36 matches ended level, 31%. The draw rate is among the steadiest numbers a league produces: it moves less from season to season than goals scored or final positions do.
Any two clubs can be compared in the panel alongside, which reads the same results grid the home and away tables are computed from.
Common questions
How are points awarded in the EFL League Two table?
Three points for a win, one for a draw, none for a defeat. A side with more wins can still sit below one that draws often, but only where the number of matches played differs.
What separates clubs level on points?
Goal difference first, then goals scored. Barnet currently lead EFL League Two on 7 points with a difference of +4.
How does the home table differ from the overall one?
The home table counts only matches played at home and the away table only those on the road. They are the same fixtures, so the two sets of points add back to the overall table. A mid-table club is often in the top three of one of them.
How many goals does a match produce on average?
2.5 per game across 36 matches. Both teams score in 50% of them and 50% finish over 2.5 goals.
Where are previous seasons?
In the country archive: England, final tables year by year, split by division and, where they existed, by territorial zone.
How can two clubs be compared?
Through the head-to-head panel: pick two sides and it returns the score of their meetings this season, read from the same results grid the home and away tables are computed from.
