Scunthorpe look for a first win in six when hosting Wimbledon. The Dons head to Glanford Park having won for the first time in seven in the last game looking for another. A victory for the Iron would take them to within four points of leaders Sheffield United.
A first win in five – only one had been lost – at the weekend kept Bradford in with a chance of securing an automatic promotion spot. The play-offs are more likely for the Bantams though with MK Dons heading to Valley Parade having also won at the weekend.
Three wins in a four game unbeaten run for Bury has taken them out of the relegation zone. Bottom of the league Coventry will visit Gigg Lane looking to close the 11 points between the Sky Blues and safety.
Victory for Millwall – who have drawn six of the last 10 unbeaten – against a Peterborough side that have lost six of their last 10 would take the Lions back into a play-off position.
Northampton’s first defeat in four means the Cobblers are still very much in relegation trouble ahead of a visit from relegation rivals Oldham. The Latics’ four game unbeaten run has taken them out of the bottom four but they’re just a place and two points clear of trouble.
A seven game run without a win means Rochdale’s faltering play-off bid is in need of a win when struggling Port Vale visit Spotland. Four defeats in six for Vale has seen them slip into the relegation zone.
Shrewsbury have lost two of the last three to see the gap between them and trouble narrowed to four points. Charlton could put the Shrews in further relegation trouble with a win at Greenhous Meadow. However, the Addicks have lost three of their last four.
With a first win in seven Swindon – that closed the gap to safety to three points – boosted their survival chances at the weekend. Gillingham head to the County Ground having won just once in the last 10 to sit just five points clear of trouble.
Despite a defeat at the weekend Walsall should be clear enough of trouble to worry. The Saddlers are probably too far from the play-offs to challenge though but a win against relegation threatened Chesterfield would help. The Spireites – with just one win in 10 – are eight points away from climbing out of the relegation zone.
Bolton – depending on Scunthorpe’s result – could move level on points in an automatic promotion spot. Five draws in a row has seen Bristol Rovers’ play-off push falter but they’ve still got a chance.
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.
