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.

And ther results over the weekend means that Wanderers are now tipped to finish 13th this season, a rise of a place in the table prior to the weekend, and are nearly predicted to be back in the top half of the table.

Elsewhere in the table, Wigan Athletic and Rotherham United are still tipped to finish in the top two.

But Oxford United have replaced Sheffield Wednesday in the play-offs compared to the previous week, with Sunderland, Wycombe Wanderers and MK Dons also tipped to be in the top six, with Portsmouth dropping a place to 10th and being leapforgged by Ipswich Town.

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