Wigan Athletic are aiming to extend a seven-match unbeaten streak against Plymouth Argyle.
The Latics have improved instantly under Gary Caldwell, picking up back-to-back 1-0 wins in their first two home matches since he took charge on 16 February.
A third win in a row would mark their best home run in two years as they seek to extend a current seven-match unbeaten streak against the Pilgrims.
The Latics remain in relegation bother though, just two points above the dreaded dotted line and a result would be a most welcome confidence boost before they face fourth-placed Bradford City at the weekend.
Luton’s Away Woes
Jack Wilshere takes his Luton Town side to Doncaster Rovers off the back of just two wins from 10 League One games and in the midst of a dismal away run.
The Hatters have already lost 10 times away from Kenilworth Road in the league this season and are currently nine away games without a win following their relegation from the Championship last year.
Wilshere’s men take on a Doncaster Rovers side who, despite losing their past two, have picked up five wins from 10 games to drag themselves out of the relegation zone.
Rovers are unbeaten in seven home league games against Luton – a run stretching back to April 1955 – and would do their survival hopes no harm with three points which could move them up to 16th if other results go their way.
Reading Eye Play-Offs
Reading had all sorts of ownership and financial issues last season and yet still finished only three points short of the play-offs and even a change of head coach this term has not stopped them challenging once again.
One defeat from 10 matches and six games unbeaten has Leam Richardson’s outfit knowing a win at Mansfield will push them into the top six.
Mansfield’s FA Cup adventure may be over but they have plenty of work to do to safeguard their League One status.
Nine games without a win means they are only five points clear of trouble and have not won at Field Mill since 17 January.
Orient’s Relegation Threat
Things are starting to look rather desperate for Leyton Orient.
Saturday’s 2-1 defeat by 10-man Bradford City signaled a ninth defeat in 13 League One matches as the O’s stare down the barrel of relegation to the fourth tier after making the play-off final last May.
