The League One games that will affect inactive Peterborough United this weekend

Inactive Peterborough United could drop two places in League One on Saturday.

A point for Plymouth Argyle at home to Doncaster Rovers and a win for Barnsley at home to Exeter City would move Posh from 11th to 13th ahead of eight midweek fixtures in League One on March 10/11.

There’s a big relegation derby battle at Bloomfield Road when Blackpool host Wigan Athletic. The teams are currently level on 37 points, nine points behind Posh whose scheduled fixture against Port Vale at the Weston Homes Stadium on Saturday has been postponed because of ‘The Valiants’ FA Cup commitments.

Posh are currently 10 points clear of the bottom four. That gap could reduce to eight points tomorrow, although that would require at least one of Leyton Orient, Rotherham United and Northampton Town gaining unlikely away wins at Bradford City, Huddersfield Town or AFC Wimbledon respectively. Cobblers are at Dons on Sunday.

Posh are still currently within seven points of the play-off places. That gap would stretch to 10 points if Wycombe Wanderers win at Bolton Wanderers in a game between two in-form teams.

Game of the day in League One is the televised clash between top two Cardiff City and Lincoln City in South Wales (12.30pm kick off).

Saturday League One matches: 12.30pm: Cardiff City v Lincoln City, Huddersfield Town v Rotherham United. 3pm: Barnsley v Exeter City, Blackpool v Wigan Athletic, Bolton Wanderers v Wycombe Wanderers, Bradford City v Leyton Orient, Burton Albion v Stevenage, Luton Town v Reading, Plymouth Argyle v Doncaster Rovers. Sunday (noon): AFC Wimbledon v Northampton Town.
