MK Dons and Bromley are already up from League Two so it is just a question of who dots the i’s and crosses the t’s by being crowned champions.
A point clear at the top, MK visit Fleetwood Town knowing they only have to match Bromley’s result against Walsall to lift the silverware.
For the Ravens to be champions, they need to win and hope their rivals lose or draw, because a point – even if MK Dons lose – would not be enough given the leaders’ vastly superior goal difference.
The race to join those two in the automatic promotion spots has turned into a three-horse race.
Victory for Cambridge United (on 81 points) at Crewe will see them return to League One at the first time of asking. If they win and Bromley lose, they would finish second.
If the U’s drop points, that would open the door for Salford (80) to pip them with a win at Crawley or even fifth-placed Notts County (79), although they would have to beat Bristol Rovers and hope Cambridge lose and Salford don’t win.
Two of those three sides will end up in the play-offs along with Grimsby Town but the fourth spot is between Chesterfield and Swindon, who handily face-off in Wiltshire.
Only a win for Swindon will get them in, otherwise Paul Cook’s side will get a second successive crack at the play-offs.
