It seems that every game in League One has a meaning at the moment, with very little already decided in the third tier of the English game. Most teams are competing for automatic promotion, the play-off spots or to avoid relegation.
Two teams with plenty still to play for are Northampton Town and Oxford United, who meet at the PTS Academy Stadium on Tuesday night.
The home side are looking to move out of the drop zone, while the U’s are looking to move closer to the play-off spots.
The fight for survival is an incredibly tight one in League One, as Northampton are 22nd in the table, but are just a point adrift of safety.
Back-to-back wins at the beginning of the month have been followed by a three-game winless run which has yielded just one point.
Town’s recent inconsistent home form has certainly been a factor in their perilous position in the table, as they have won just two of their previous seven league matches on home soil.
Last time out at the PTS Academy Stadium they suffered a 1-0 defeat against Crewe Alexandra.
Oxford United are part of a large group of teams who have hopes of sealing a top-six finish in the third tier.
The visitors are currently 11th place in the table but are just three points adrift of sixth-place Charlton, who have played an extra game than Karl Robinson’s team.
A recent inconsistent run of league form has hindered their chances of moving into the play-off spots. In fact, United have won just two of their last nine matches in League One. Last time out, they suffered a 2-0 home defeat against play-off rivals Blackpool.
The visitors have found Northampton difficult opponents of late, as Oxford won just one of the last eight meetings with the Cobblers.
Forebet predicts that Oxford will enhance their chances of sealing a play-off spot this season by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
