Fulham host Aston Villa at Craven Cottage on Saturday for the early kick off, and both sides still have plenty to play for as we approach the final few games of the season. Villa come into this clash as slight favourites, and they have really looked back to their best in recent weeks. The return of John McGinn and Youri Tielemans has massively improved Villa’s prospects in the final third, and they have scored at least three goals alone in three of their last four matches across all competitions. That includes a 4-3 win against Sunderland last time out.
Fulham haven’t been in the best of form, having won just one of their last six matches across all competitions. That one victory was against Burnley, who had their relegation confirmed last time out, and Villa will be a much tougher matchup, especially considering they have won nine of the last ten meetings against Fulham.
Grimsby sit seventh in the League Two standings, hanging on to a playoff spot by a thread. They have a one-point lead on Chesterfield with two games remaining, but Grimsby are also only one point behind Swindon Town, who they face this weekend. The game could have massive implications in the League Two standings, so both teams should be fired up.
Grimsby come into this one in better form, following back-to-back wins, and they will fancy their chances in front of a home crowd at Blundell Park. They have scored 18 goals in their last seven games alone, highlighting how they have found form at the right time, and it’s going to be a big ask for Swindon to keep them at bay.
BTTS has landed in nine of Swindon’s last 12 league matches, and it finished 2-2 when these sides met in the reverse fixture back in November.
Peterborough have been leaking goals at an alarming rate in recent weeks, and because of that they have failed to win any of their last six matches coming into this one. BTTS has landed in all of those games, though, which underlines their attacking intent. With four points separating them from the relegation zone, they will be desperate for another positive result just to alleviate any relegation concerns.
Stockport come into this one after suffering a 1-0 home defeat to Mansfield - a surprise result that ended a seven-match unbeaten run. Prior to that, Stockport had scored 13 goals in five games, and were looking like one of the strongest attacking forces in the division. However, they are still fifth in League One, with a playoff finish looking likely, and they will hope to re-discover their scoring touch this weekend against a struggling Peterborough side.
MK Dons hit a bump in the road a few weeks ago, and they failed to win four straight matches in League Two. However, they have since bounced back with back-to-back wins against league-leaders Bromley, and Crewe which has kept them in second and well on track to secure automatic promotion. However, they failed to keep a clean sheet in either of those matches, which highlights a potential weakness at the back which Tranmere will hope to exploit.
The visitors are battling near the foot of the table, but they secured a massive 3-1 away win against Cheltenham last time out, which has opened up a four-point gap over Barrow with two games remaining. Tranmere should be confident heading into this clash, considering they have scored five goals in their last three matches alone, but their main challenge will be keeping the Dons at bay. Tranmere have shipped 75 goals from 44 league games this season, ranking them as the worst defensive unit in the division.
Charlton have failed to win any of their last six Championship matches and are hovering dangerously close to the relegation places, but they have at least been entertaining to watch, with over 2.5 goals landing in three of their last five, and BTTS in all of those. One point here will be enough to secure their place in the Championship for next season, but they aren’t likely to sit back and play for a 0-0 draw, especially not against Hull.
The visitors have been one of the more open and entertaining sides in the Championship this season, with 34 goals scored from their 22 matches on the road. They have also conceded 30 goals, which shows how their games can be quite chaotic at times. Hull will also be desperate for points here, after their 2-2 draw against Leicester last time out saw them drop out of the playoff spots.
