With less than two games to play in the EFL, it is crunch time for teams near the bottom in all three divisions. Before the final weekend, the penultimate round of fixtures could see several teams from the Championship, League One and League Two relegated. Who will stay up, and who will succumb to the drop?
EFL Survival Watch – What Could Happen
Championship – Who Will Exit the Promised Land?
With Ipswich Town and Bolton Wanderers already relegated, Rotherham United and Millwall battle for survival.
Rotherham travel to the Hawthorns as they face West Bromwich Albion in what will a daunting task for the Millers. The Baggies have already confirmed their place in the play-offs and will be looking to end the season on a high.
Also on the relegation radar will be Millwall, who entertain a lowly Stoke City at The Den. Both sides have been in bad form, so it would be the ideal time for Neil Harris’s side to be inspired.
Should Millwall better Rotherham’s result, the Millers could be relegated on Saturday due to Millwall’s significant goal difference.
League One – The Fourth Tier Awaits Who?
Bradford City are the only relegated side, but a number of teams could join them.
Walsall, who are 23rd, have to win against Peterborough United, otherwise, anything less including a draw may not be enough to keep them up.
They can also be relegated if they draw, while Southend United and Plymouth Argyle draw, AFC Wimbledon and Scunthorpe United win.
The Saddlers can also go down if they win but Southend and Plymouth also win.
Scunthorpe will be relegated if they lose to Bradford City and both Southend United and Plymouth Argyle win.
Finally, if AFC Wimbledon lose against Wycombe Wanderers and both Southend United and Plymouth Argyle win, the Dons will be relegated to League Two.
League Two – Who Will Fall Through the Trapdoor?
Macclesfield Town, Notts County and Yeovil Town are locked in a three-way battle for EFL survival.
County and Yeovil occupy the relegation zone, while Macclesfield Town sit in 22nd, two points above the drop.
Notts County host Grimsby Town at home, in their desperate attempt to remain in the Football League.
Second from bottom Yeovil Town travel to Northampton Town, with one eye on results above and below them.
Sol Campbell’s Macclesfield Town make the trip to Port Vale as they hope to prolong their stay in the EFL just one season after achieving promotion from the National League.
Notts County and Yeovil Town can be relegated if both fail to win their fixtures and Macclesfield Town win.
