Rotherham United are two points above the relegation zone after a five game winless run.

The four teams now being predicted to get relegated from League One after defeats for Northampton Town, Doncaster Rovers, Exeter City and Reading

Cobblers are now out just points above the relegation zone after the battling defeat at Peterborough United.

The cruel 2-1 defeat at Posh leaves Town still in the pack of teams looking to pull clear of danger.

Cobblers, currently 14th in the table, have a good chance of picking up points with games against AFC Wimbledon and Burton Albion next up.

But it’s a tough looking set of fixtures after that with Huddersfield Town, Stockport County and Bolton Wanderers to follow.

It is shaping up to be a classic relegation tussle. Just three points separate 12th placed Wycombe and Plymouth in the final relegation place.

So who is going down? Here a supercomputer – run by AceOdds – has given this prediction for how the final table will look.
