The Dash for Promotion to League 1

The top of the League 2 table looks fairly settled with only positions to settle for. The 3 oxford_featautomatic promotion places look sorted, and 5 teams fighting for the 4 play off places. Oxford United’s recent drop in form looks to be arrested with their win on Saturday at Plymouth. York City will be the surprise team, undefeated since February.

Key game coming up on Friday for deciding play off places, with Oxford United hosting York york_exeter_7City. Southend United have their destiny in their own hands with games against 3 promotion hopefuls: Rochdale; Fleetwood and Burton.

Tough to call who’ll finish as champions. Looks like Rochdale have the easier run-in over Scunthorpe and Chesterfield, but all 3 have relegation haunted teams to play.

Prediction. 1 Rochdale. 2 Scunthorpre. 3 Chesterfield. 4 Fleetwood. 5 Burton. 6 York City. 7 Oxford. 8 Southend.
