The regular League One season draws to a conclusion at the end of April before the play-offs and the Wembley final take place in May.

Throughout the campaign, football statistics website FiveThirtyEight is forecasting how the League One table might finish after the results of every matchday, with the season reaching the climax of the regular season at the end of April before the play-offs start.

And the current top two of Rotherham United and Wigan Athletic are being tipped to achieve automatic promotion, as they have been the two front runners for much of the campaign.

The play-offs are predicted to include MK Dons, Sheffield Wednesday, Oxford United and Plymouth Argyle, with Sunderland missing out on the top six.

Wycombe Wanderers, Portsmouth and Ipswich Town are all also tipped to miss out on the play-offs, as well as Bolton Wanderers who are predicted to end the season 11th after the weekend's loss to Plymouth.

At the foot of the table, Morecambe, Crewe Alexandra, Gillingham and Doncaster Rovers remain the four sides tipped to be playing in League Two next season.
