Stockport probably have an easier task than Hereford United on Saturday. The pitch at Edgeley Park has cut up quite badly and this could hinder the type of football MK Dons play. On the other hand the Dons still need at least a point to be sure of automatic promotion.
Peterborough also need a win to be sure of automatic promotion this Saturday and that will only happen if Stockport draw or lose and the Posh do better - in other words increase the points gap between them and the Hatters.
As regards Hereford they need to keep on taking points whenever possible. A win over Peterborough would be ideal, but a draw wouldn't be the end of the world as long as Stockport do not win.
All may become clearer at 5pm on Saturday and there again it may not. The race for the third automatic promotion place to League One could continue until the last day of the season.
Plenty to play for.
