Accrington’s nine game unbeaten run has taken them well clear of trouble and set for a midtable finish. Grimsby are the visitors to Stanley a place and three points better off in 12th.
With just one win in the last 10 Barnet have fallen away from play off contention but would hope to collect the points from relegation threatened Cheltenham. The Robins are four without a win – the last three have been lost – yet still hold a six point advantage over second bottom Newport.
If Blackpool can extend their unbeaten run to nine with a win over Hartlepool it could take Pools into a play off place. Poolie have lost two of the last three but a nine point gap should be enough to keep them in the Football League.
Cambridge hold an outside chance of finishing in the top six whereas Stevenage should finish in the play offs as a minimum. Boro still have automatic promotion aspirations though with third placed Portsmouth just four points ahead of them.
Five defeats in a six game run without a win has seen Carlisle’s promotion bid suffer a major setback. If Crewe go away from Brunton Park with a third straight win the Cumbrians could drop out of the top seven.
Two defeats in three means Colchester go into the meeting with promotion chasing Luton four points adrift of the play off places. A U’s win would boost these chances whilst denting the Hatters’ bid – with them five points off this – to potentially earn an automatic spot.
Crawley haven’t won in six but with 12 points to play with the threat of relegation isn’t that serious. However, Leyton Orient look set to drop out of the Football League with Orient bottom of the league and seven points from safety.
A West County derby will see Exeter seeking a win over Yeovil that would ensure the Grecians remain in the top seven regardless of other results. But victory for the Glovers – who are three without defeat – could cost them a play-off place.
Morecambe welcome Mansfield to the Globe Arena looking to end a five game losing run. The Stags travel a couple of places and three points from the play offs.
Having suffered a first defeat in four Portsmouth will look for a positive reaction against second bottom Newport. Pompey hold a four point lead over the chasing pack with the Exiles six points from safety.
Wycombe’s five game unbeaten run – which has included three draws – has brought them back into play off contention. The Chairboys are three points off the top seven ahead of Notts County’s visit to Adams Park.
The top two have to wait until Sunday when they meet at the Keepmoat Stadium. Doncaster would all but secure the championship with a win over title rivals Plymouth but a Pilgrims victory and the gap to Rovers would be cut to three points.
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.
