All the possible Saturday scenarios for Peterborough United and when Cobblers can expect to be relegated

It is possible that 13th-placed Peterborough United could be just two points clear of the relegation zone after the Saturday fixtures.

That would require a Posh defeat at Blackpool, a win for Exeter City in the Devon derby at Plymouth Argyle and Burton Albion avoiding defeat at home to AFC Wimbledon.

Posh will move back into the top half of the table with a win at Bloomfield Road as the team just above them, Mansfield Town, have no fixture. A Posh win would mean they would be at least six points clear of the bottom four.

There are also seven midweek games coming up which will impact Posh’s position. Posh host bottom club Port Vale next Thursday (April 16, 7.45pm kick off).

Northampton Town will be relegated if they lose their next game at Luton Town next Wednesday (April 15). Cobblers have lost their last six League One games. The only point they have picked up in their last 10 matches was from a 1-1 home draw with Posh.
