Ince: Visits Stockport

Sky Bet

The top four in League Two all play each other this Saturday as the promotion race hots up.

Paul Ince's table-toppers MK Dons can guarantee promotion if they can draw at fourth-placed Stockport, while second-placed Peterborough visit Hereford in third.

The top two seem safe for automatic promotion but there is still all to play for between Hereford and Stockport, with the latter the joint in-form team in League Two, gaining 16 points from their last six.

Fifth-placed Rochdale have also claimed 16 points from their last six to give themselves an outside chance of an automatic promotion place and they host mid-table Morecambe.

Darlington are in a poor run of form at present - gaining only two points from a possible 18 - to drop to sixth in the table and they travel to Chesterfield in eighth, who have an outside chance of the play-offs.

The other team in the play-offs, Wycombe, host Chester, who also need the points to ensure their league safety at the other end of the table.

Down at the bottom, seemingly-doomed Wrexham entertain lowly Notts County, who can do their survival hopes the world of good with victory at The Racecourse Ground.

Second-from-bottom Mansfield need to close the four point gap to safety and so will be going all out for a home victory over Shrewsbury.

But third-from-bottom Dagenham will be wanting to maintain the gap when they travel to Rotherham.

In the other League Two games, Bradford take on Grimsby in a Yorkshire derby, while Accrington face Barnet, Bury play Macclesfield and Lincoln entertain Brentford.
