Peterborough United will escape the bottom four with victory over Stevenage tonight.

How the League One table is being tipped to finish as improving Peterborough United, Blackpool, Reading and Leyton Orient look to secure their survival

What seemed unlikely could well be reality come 10pm tonight.

Posh host Stevenage tonight knowing victory will see them climb out of the bottom four.

Convincing home wins against AFC Wimbledon and Stockport has left them on the brink. Stevenage have the incentive of going top of the table if they can leave London Road with the points.

Around them, Port Vale really need a win fast and are in danger of being cast adrift at the bottom after being beaten at home to Plymouth.

Doncaster are also slumping badly, though a good point at Stevenage could be useful at the end of the season.

Elsewhere Cardiff beat Northampton to take over at the top of the league, while leaving the Cobblers four points clear of the drop zone.

Luton Town will be looking for a response after being battered at Barnsley at the weekend. They host a Huddersfield side tonight who can move into the top two if they win by two goals and Stevenage lose at Peterborough.

So how is the fascinating table going to look after matchday 46? Here a supercomputer – produded by Compare.bet – has given its verdict.
