Blackpool look to keep their winning run going when they face a fellow play-off hopeful in Lincoln City at the LNER Stadium on Saturday. The Tangerines have won back-to-back league games, unbeaten in their last 13 League One matches. It’s seen them pick up big wins against the likes of Peterborough and Charlton in recent weeks as they look a strong team, with good players that can take them to the play-offs.

Neil Critchley’s men are fifth in the table, with a four-point gap between themselves and seventh-placed Charlton as well as a game advantage.

Lincoln looked in with a shout of automatic promotion early in the season, occupying a top four spot for much of the first half of the campaign. They’ve fell away now though, slipping down to sixth. Michael Appleton’s side have gone five games without a win in the league, losing three of those, including last time out against Oxford United.

Odds are 2/1 with Skybet for the visitors to get all three points and keep their run going.

Peterborough can keep the chase on the league-leaders Hull on Saturday with a win over a Swindon side that are in a huge relegation scrap near the bottom of the division.John Sheridan’s men are 20th in the table, with goal difference keeping them above Bristol Rovers and out of the relegation zone. Rock-bottom Rochdale are on 33 points with Wigan and AFC Wimbledon on 35 and 26 points respectively, showing just how tight it is at the bottom. Swindon have lost their last two league games following the 2-1 defeat away to Burton on Monday.

The Posh travel to the County Ground on the back of a tense draw with third-placed Sunderland. It put an end to their two-game winning run, but Darren Ferguson’s men can make it four unbeaten with a big win that could take them level on points with Hull, if the Tigers were to lose. One of Peterborough’s key players is striker Jonson Clarke-Harris who is the league’s top scorer with 26 goals.

Odds are 23/20 for Clarke-Harris to find the net and his team to win against Swindon.

The league leaders are in action on Saturday when they take the trip to Home Park to face Plymouth who are fairly comfortable in 16th place. The hosts look surely safe from relegation, 15 points above Bristol Rovers. The Pilgrims also look as though the play-offs may just be beyond their reach, 10 points behind Lincoln.

Ryan Lowe’s men have won two of their last six, losing three – including last week’s 3-0 defeat away to Shrewsbury. As for the visitors, Hull are unbeaten in their last nine league games, winning seven of those, including their last two in a row.

Grant McCann’s men need to keep winning though, with Peterborough and Sunderland lurking behind them with games in hand. Hull have been the top scorers in the league this season and both of their last two games saw over 2.5 goals in the match.

Odds are 7/4 for that to be the case again on Saturday with the Tigers winning.

Bolton will be hoping to return to winning ways after their long unbeaten run was ended at home to Newport on Monday. They face Harrogate who have been on a barren run as of late. The Trotters have been in impressive form in recent months, seeing them go 14 League One games unbeaten, winning 11.

It saw Ian Evatt’s side climb up the table and into a play-off spot and they still remain on the cusp of automatic promotion places, in fourth and level on points with third-placed Tranmere. A return to winning ways this weekend could see them overtake Tranmere and/or close the five-point gap to second-placed Cheltenham. Harrogate have gone five games without a win following the 2-0 defeat to Port Vale on Monday. It leaves them 16th in the standings, 13 points above the bottom two.

Harrogate lost the last meeting between the two sides earlier in the season and you can see the same happening again on Saturday against a Bolton side fighting for promotion. Eoin Doyle has been firing them in for Bolton this season, with only James Vaughan of Tranmere and Paul Mullin of Cambridge scoring more than him in League Two this season.

Odds are 11/5 for Doyle to add to his 16 goals so far this campaign by helping his team to a win with a goal.

Grimsby have their work cut out for them if they’re to avoid relegation from League Two this season and are in need of some points, but it’s hard to see them coming away with anything when they travel to Valley Parade. The hosts are unbeaten in their last three games, with the 1-1 draw with Stevenage on Monday coming after back-to-back wins against Colchester and play-off chasing Forest Green Rovers.

Bradford are 19 points clear of the bottom two in 12th place and not completely out of the race for a play-off place, but the Bantams would need to make up the seven-point gap to sixth-placed Forest Green, with a lot of results going their way. The Mariners make the trip to Bradford finding themselves drowning at the foot of the table.

Grimsby have a game in hand against Southend and Colchester above them but are still seven points from safety. They’ve been getting points, going eight games unbeaten, but only one of those was a victory. Both teams have scored in four of Grimsby’s last five games and three of Bradford’s last five. Odds are 4/1 for both teams to score again, with Bradford coming out on top.
