Tough run-ins and easy run-ins - the remaining League One games for the relegation candidates

You’d think six home games in their remaining 10 League One matches would keep Peterborough United away from relegation danger.

Especially as five of those games are against teams currently below them in the table, starting with the visit of third from bottom Rotherham United on Tuesday (7.45pm kick off).

Here are the remaining League One games for 14th-placed Posh and every team below them apart from rock-bottom Port Vale who have a schedule which makes their survival hopes look very unlikely.

Cobblers also look doomed, while Rotherham’s position will look hopeless if they don’t win at the Weston Homes Stadium. If the Millers do beat what is expected to be another heavily depleted Posh side then the cat really would be amongst the pigeons.

A Posh defeat would leave them just five points clear of the bottom four...
