Peterborough – who are looking for a win that could take them into the top six – hosts League 1 leaders Sheffield United. A first win in four – coupled with a Scunthorpe loss – took the Blades back to the summit with a victory at London Road retaining this.
A poor run from Wimbledon has seen them drop from potential play-off challengers to a side that could yet get sucked into a relegation battle. Charlton are unbeaten in six and head to Kingsmeadow six points off the play-offs.
Having failed to win in four Bolton have lost touch with the automatic promotion places. However, the Trotters aren’t out of contention with these chances improved should they secure a win at the Macron Stadium. Walsall though – beaten just twice in the last 10 – are in the kind of form that could yet see the Saddles challenge for a play-off place.
Another Bristol Rovers win at the Memorial Stadium will boost their play-off chances with the Pirates three off the top six heading into the weekend. Bradford currently occupy one of these places and are eight points off automatic promotion.
Bury and Swindon meet in a big relegation battle at Gigg Lane. The Shakers are in the bottom four – despite losing just once in four – but could move out with a win over the Robins. The visitors have lost three in a row to sit just a point above the relegation zone.
The unbeaten Fleetwood run – which saw boss Uwe Rosler named Manager of the Month this week – keeps them in contention for automatic promotion with the Cod Army just seven points off 2nd. Rochdale’s three game winless run – two have been lost – has seen Dale drop out of the play-off spot.
Gillingham – who haven’t won in seven – and Port Vale – who have won just once in 10 – meet at Priestfield with both still very much in danger of being sucked into the relegation battle.
If Millwall can extend their eight game unbeaten run with another win they could move into the play-offs. However, Southend head to the Den have lost just once in the last 10 to sit in 6th and will look to retain that position.
Northampton have lost six of the last seven with the Cobblers just five points clear of the bottom four ahead of the visit from Chesterfield. The second bottom Spireites could move out of the relegation zone with a win at Sixfields if other results go for them.
Relegation rivals Oldham and Coventry meet at Boundary Park. The Latics are just a point from safety and in with the better chance of survival. Whereas it looks bleak for the Sky Blues as they are bottom of the league and on a four game losing run – eight of 10 have ended in defeat – with Russell Slade’s side eight points from safety.
Oxford are a place and a couple of points ahead of MK Dons in 13th ahead of this meeting at the Kassam Stadium. The form shown by the visitors since Robbie Neilson was appointed has taken them away from relegation trouble with MK Dons on potential play-off chasing form.
With Scunthorpe’s three game winning run ending in defeat last weekend they also lost top spot to Sheffield United. Shrewsbury – unbeaten in five to move away from relegation trouble – head to Glanford Park to face the Iron.
It goes without saying the expectation; most definitely the hope at least, will be for a positive result. But will this happen? We’ll find out soon enough.
