Plymouth Argyle's Ipswich Town win impacts on Bolton Wanderers promotion prediction chances

Bolton Wanderers return to League One action this weekend when they host Lincoln City.

Wanderers were not in action over the international break. Their scheduled match on the road to take on Portsmouth at Fratton Park was called off due to call-ups and will need to have a fresh date selected.

But the action carried on throughout much of League One as many teams were unaffected by call-ups. Eight out of 12 games in the third tier of English football took place over the course of the weekend, which concluded yesterday with Plymouth Argyle's win at Home Park over Ipswich Town.

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

As things stand, Ipswich and Sheffield Wednesday remain the two side tipped to be clinching automatic promotion and playing back in the Championship again. But the Owls are now the ones tipped for the title after their weekend win over Wycombe Wanderers, combined with Ipswich's loss to Plymouth.

The play-off places are predicted to be keenly contested - and Wanderers are being tipped to just miss out on the top six. Wanderers are being tipped to finish seventh and be two points behind Plymouth on 78 points.

Argyle are now predicted to finish sixth. Portsmouth, Derby County and Barnsley are the other three sides predicted to finish in the top six. At the opposite end of the table, Bristol Rovers, Forest Green Rovers, Morecambe and Burton Albion remain as the teams being tipped for relegation to League Two.
