Bolton’s five game winning run has taken them up to second, six points clear of Fleetwood. Chesterfield on the other hand – without a win in five – head to the Macron Stadium second bottom and destined for relegation.
Defeat last time round saw Bradford lose further ground on automatic promotion. However, with an impressive home record the Bantam will look to react against midtable Walsall, without a win in three.
Bristol Rovers’ bid for a play-off finish has been dealt a blow with two defeats in the last three. The Pirates need the points against Shrewsbury at the Memorial Stadium. Then again with the Shrews just a point and a place above the bottom four so do they!
Having drawn back-to-back games Fleetwood – with Bolton on a winning run – have dropped out of automatic promotion with the Cod Army set for the play-offs. Swindon revived their survival hopes with a win last time out – ending four successive defeats – that saw the gap to safety closed to four points.
Millwall will bid to end a four game winless run – including success defeats – against promotion rivals Scunthorpe. The Lions go into this game at the Den three points off the top six and seven adrift of the Iron.
Four points from a possible six has given MK Dons a little breathing space on the bottom four. Gillingham on the other hand have lost three in a row and could drop into the relegation zone if they lose again at the stadium:mk – assuming other results go against the Gills.
Peterborough probably have too much work to do in order to secure a play-off spot so both Posh and Charlton are set remain in League 1 next season. That being said the Addicks are only five points above the relegation zone.
A Port Vale win over Wimbledon at Vale Park and this could taken them out of the relegation zone as Vale go into the weekend just a point and a place from safety. The Dons are well placed in midtable.
Rochdale’s bid to force themselves back into an unlikely play-off spot took a blow with a midweek defeat from one of the games in hand. A response against Northampton – looking for a first win in three – could get Dale back into top six contention.
If Southend avoid defeat they’ll maintain a top six spot – a fourth successive win at the Shrimpers will retain a three point advantage over the chasing pack, at least. However, they face an Oldham side – beaten just once in the last 10 – looking to build on the three point advantage they hold over the bottom four.
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.
