Rotherham United, MK Dons and Wigan Athletic’s final League One run-in fixtures compared | OneFootball

It is set to be an enthralling end to this League One season, with the battle for automatic promotion looking particularly thrilling.

Wigan Athletic lead the way with 86 points from 40 matches, with MK Dons sitting second on 83 from 42, and whilst spending much of the campaign in the top two, it is now Rotherham United in third with 80 points from 40 matches.

Here, we take a look at each club’s respective run-in to better determine what to expect in the concluding stages of this campaign…

Rotherham United

Picking up just five points from their last six games, the Millers will be hoping to correct form as soon as possible.

Paul Warne’s side have looked a level above the division for the vast majority of the season, with the Rotherham boss eager to get back to winning ways imminently.

Fee Free

No game in their last six looks easy, with four of their remaining six coming away from home.

Despite Portsmouth and Ipswich having not much to play for, they are still two sides who can be exceptional on their day, with Oxford and Sunderland still battling away for a play-off spot.

The Millers travel to Gillingham on the final day, who could still be fighting for their lives when that fixture comes around.

MK Dons

Unable to gain maximum points at the weekend against fierce rival AFC Wimbledon, Liam Manning’s side will be eager to return to winning ways at the weekend.

The Buckinghamshire club have just four games left to play this season, and whilst sitting three points above Rotherham, they have played two games more.

Yes No

This is a very tough fixture list to end the season.

Three of the four games they have to play are against sides who will be looking to finish inside the play-offs, whilst Morecambe are scrapping to avoid an immediate return to League Two.

Wigan Athletic

Currently sitting in the more favourable position is Wigan, who still have six games left to play, with the Latics sitting six points above Plymouth in third.

Leam Richardson’s men are without a defeat in their last eight and are making impressive strides towards a second-tier return.

In what year were Wigan Athletic founded?

1922 1926 1929 1932

Perhaps looking slightly easier than their automatic promotion-chasing counterparts, Wigan still have to play four of their last six matches away from home.

As mentioned above, games against Ipswich and Portsmouth will by no means be easy, even with both clubs looking decreasingly likely to make the top-six.

Plymouth will also be a tough clash for the Latics, whilst Shrewsbury will not make things easy for the table-toppers.
