Gillingham host Rotherham United in the final game of the League One season.
The Gills need a result to keep their chances of survival alive, with the team level on points with Fleetwood Town and two points behind Morecambe.
But the hosts have by far the worst goal difference of the three teams, putting them at a massive disadvantage as they prepare to face promotion chasing Rotherham.
Meanwhile, Rotherham need to win to secure a top two finish to earn a place in the Championship.
MK Dons are breathing down The Shrimps’ neck so only a win will guarantee Paul Warne’s side a place in the second division next season.
It is set to be a huge clash that will decide the outcome at both ends of the table when the two face off on Saturday afternoon.
Gillingham go into this weekend’s game with a long list of injury problems.
However, Neil Harris is set to give every player a chance to prove their fitness with just one game left in the season.
Stuart O’Keefe is chief among those who will be given the opportunity to prove they can play as he attempts to recover from calf injury.
Mustapha Carayol will also face a late fitness test. But Charlie Kelman will be unavailable (suspension), as will Robbie McKenzie (ankle ligament damage).
