Burton Albion will continue their League One survival fight when they travel to St James Park for Friday's meeting with Exeter City.
The Brewers are just outside the bottom four on goal difference, while the Grecians are 10 points better off in 15th position.
We say: Exeter City 2-1 Burton Albion
Burton may have won three of their last five matches, but they have lost three of their previous four away games, and with that in mind, we think they will fall to a narrow defeat in Friday's fixture, especially as Exeter have won the last three head-to-head meetings.

With the third-tier title already secured, Birmingham City will welcome relegation-threatened Crawley Town to St Andrew's @ Knighthead Park on Good Friday.
Blues suffered a rare defeat on the weekend as they lost to Peterborough United at Wembley, whilst the Red Devils endured a difficult afternoon on home soil.
We say: Birmingham City 2-0 Crawley Town
With the league title confirmed, Birmingham are in the business of breaking records until the end of the campaign, with Crawley set to be the latest prey in the Second City.
Blues are unbeaten in the league at their own patch, and we cannot envisage that changing against a Red Devils side fighting relegation.

Wycombe Wanderers will continue their promotion bid when they travel to Lancashire for Friday's meeting with League One playoff hopefuls Bolton Wanderers.
The Chairboys head into the contest in third position, while the Trotters are currently in eighth place with four games left to play.
We say: Bolton Wanderers 0-1 Wycombe Wanderers
Bolton have lost five of their previous seven matches, and with injuries taking their toll, we think the Trotters could fall to a narrow defeat against a Wycombe team that will be full of confidence after claiming back-to-back victories.

Charlton vs. Northampton (Friday, 3.00pm)

Fifth-placed Charlton Athletic could secure their place in League One's promotion playoff spots should they beat Northampton Town at home on Friday at the Valley.
The home side's tally of 76 points is 10 more than seventh-placed Leyton Orient with just four matchweeks remaining, whereas their opponents are sixth last in 19th place with 47 points and are only five points and two places from the relegation spots after drawing 0-0 with Reading.
We say: Charlton Athletic 1-0 Northampton Town
Charlton have been excellent at the Valley, and they should be seen as clear favourites to claim all three points.
Northampton have also found goals difficult to come by, and their poor return up front could cost them against the hosts' strong backline.

Huddersfield vs. Cambridge (Friday, 3.00pm)

Visitors Cambridge United could be relegated from League One on Friday if they lose against promotion hopefuls Huddersfield Town at John Smith's Stadium and if Burton Albion win.
Huddersfield are ninth with 64 points having lost 3-0 against Burton Albion on April 12, while Cambridge are second last in 23rd place with 35 points and are seven points from safety with just four games remaining.
We say: Huddersfield Town 1-0 Cambridge United
It is difficult to make an argument in favour of Cambridge, especially as they have struggled to pose a threat in the final third.
However, while Huddersfield should be considered favourites, their own failings in front of goal may make Friday's game an uncomfortable affair for fans of the hosts.

Leyton Orient vs. Barnsley (Friday, 3.00pm)

Leyton Orient will be aiming to make it three straight wins in League One when they welcome Barnsley to Brisbane Road on Friday.
Orient are seventh in the League One table, three points behind sixth-placed Reading in the race for the playoffs, while Barnsley occupy 11th, 12 points off sixth, while they are 15 points clear of the relegation zone.
We say: Leyton Orient 2-1 Barnsley
Barnsley are a lot better than they have shown in recent weeks, and the visitors will enter this match off the back of an excellent win, but we are expecting an in-form Orient side to navigate their way to all three points on Friday.

Peterborough vs. Stockport (Friday, 3.00pm)

Promotion-chasing Stockport County will be aiming to make it five League One wins in a row when they head to Peterborough United on Friday afternoon for a huge game in the context of their season.
Stockport are fourth in the League One table, five points behind second-placed Wrexham, while Peterborough occupy 16th, six points above 21st-placed Bristol Rovers in the battle to remain in the division.
We say: Peterborough United 1-1 Stockport County
Peterborough's success over Birmingham last weekend would have given them so much confidence, and with that in mind, we are expecting the home team to be good enough for a point against Stockport on Friday afternoon.

Reading vs. Lincoln (Friday, 3.00pm)

Reading are set to continue their fight for a playoff place in League One when they take on mid-table Lincoln City at the Select Car Leasing Stadium on Friday afternoon.
The hosts are sixth in the standings with a three point lead on those below them, while the visitors are destined for a midtable finish in the league.
We say: Reading 2-1 Lincoln City
Lincoln City may have secured the 2-0 win in their last meeting, but the hosts have enjoyed a considerably better second half of the season and are favourites to secure the win in this one.

Rotherham vs. Mansfield (Friday, 3.00pm)

Rotherham United, destined for a mid-table finish in League One, are set to take on relegation-battling Mansfield Town at the AESSEAL New York Stadium on Friday afternoon.
The hosts are 13th in the standings and on track for a midtable finish, while the visitors are 18th and just five points above the drop zone.
We say: Rotherham United 2-1 Mansfield Town
Mansfield Town have endured a miserable run of results in recent weeks, and given Rotherham's recent upturn in form, we believe the hosts will win this one.

Shrewsbury vs. Wigan (Friday, 3.00pm)

Friday could see the first relegation of the League One season when bottom club Shrewsbury Town welcome Wigan Athletic to New Meadow.
The Shrews will be hoping to end their 13-game winless run, while the Latics will be looking to make it four without defeat this week.
We say: Shrewsbury Town 1-1 Wigan Athletic
Shrewsbury are on the verge of relegation, and given that they have lost nine of their last 12 matches, they are likely to have their demotion confirmed on Friday.
Additionally, Wigan may have gone over a month without victory, but they have proven difficult to beat, so expect the Latics to avoid defeat at the very least.

Stevenage vs. Blackpool (Friday, 3.00pm)

Blackpool make the trip to Stevenage on Friday knowing that only a win will do if they wish to remain in the race for the playoffs.
At a time when the visitors sit in 10th position in the League One table, Stevenage are eight points adrift in 14th place.
We say: Stevenage 1-2 Blackpool
With both clubs stuck in mid-table, the pressure is lifted to a large extent for this contest. However, with Blackpool needing to go all out for maximum points, we are backing Bruce's side to edge this fixture during the latter stages.

Wrexham vs. Bristol Rovers (Friday, 3.00pm)
© Imago
In a match that could be crucial for both the race for promotion and fight for survival in League One, Wrexham are set to host struggling Bristol Rovers at the Racecourse Ground on Friday.
The Red Dragons will be looking for a win this week after dropping points last time out, while the Gas will be desperate to stop the rot after six consecutive defeats.
We say: Wrexham 2-0 Bristol Rovers
Wrexham may have dropped points last time out with a poor offensive display against Wigan, but they will be motivated by their home crowd to avoid slipping into the playoffs.
Additionally, Rovers have been particularly shocking on the road this season, and they may struggle to score given the Red Dragons' impressive defensive record.
