Derby County will keep a keen eye on results this weekend as several of their promotion rivals are in action.
Derby County are next in action next Wednesday against Wycombe Wanderers as the Chair Boys play Peterborough in the EFL Trophy final.
A chance to rest and recuperate after their thrilling 2-2 draw against Portsmouth on Tuesday is a rare luxury at this stage of the season.
The race for promotion out of League One is heating up as several teams, including Pompey, Bolton Wanderers and Barnsley are all in action.
It’s an opportunity to see where they’ll stand heading into the final four matches.
The League One promotion picture
Derby have been given a 73% of finishing in the top two by Opta and currently sit four points ahead of Bolton Wanderers, with Ian Evatt’s side given a 21% chance of reaching the Championship.
Peterborough and Barnsley are hot on the heels of Bolton, however, the pressure is on them to win their games in hand.
If they do and Derby’s points total remains the same, the gap to the Rams will close to just two points, teeing up a frantic race to the finish.
With that being said, here’s how the fixtures are shaping up this weekend.
Third-place Bolton travel to 14th-place Bristol Rovers this weekend looking to build on their thumping 5-2 victory over Reading on Easter Monday.
A win for the Wanderers is imperative to keep the pressure on Derby as they can close the gap to just a point before Paul Warne‘s men travel to Wycombe.
