Latest League One predictions for Bolton Wanderers, Sunderland and Sheffield Wednesday

The League One season is closing in on an exciting end of the season with several teams part of the chasing pack for the play-offs.

Bolton Wanderers are part of that group and are currently five points from the top six heading into this weekend's game against MK Dons.

Ian Evatt's side are on a run of eight wins in their last 10 matches which has seen them shoot up the League One table and be in contention for the top six.

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 as things stand, Wanderers are tipped to end the season in 10th place, where they currently are right now, and are tipped to have a 18 per cent chance of making the play-offs and a five per cent chance of being promoted.

At the top of the table, Rotherham United are still predicted to finish ahead of Wigan Athletic and secure automatic promotion to the Championship.

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

Wanderers are currently tipped to finish between Ipswich Town and Portsmouth.

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.
