Plymouth, Wycombe, Sunderland and Sheffield Wednesday’s final fixtures compared

The likes of Plymouth Argyle, Wycombe Wanderers, Sunderland and Sheffield Wednesday are all vying for a place in the promotion shootout.

The four teams are competing over three play-off places, with one of MK Dons and Rotherham United set to earn the fourth available slot.

Wednesday are on the backfoot going into the closing weeks, with a one-point deficit to 6th place Sunderland, but the Owls do have a game in hand over Alex Neil’s side and two games in hand on 4th and 5th place.

Here, we take a look at the run-in for the four respective competitors…

Steven Schumacher’s side have the points advantage going into the final weeks, with a three point lead over Wednesday in 7th.

Wigan Athletic (A)

MK Dons (H)

But Plymouth have by far the toughest schedule remaining of the play-off chasers.

Wigan are the current league leaders and will be hoping to secure their automatic promotion with all three points when they host the Pilgrims on April 23.

MK Dons are also chasing a top two finish and will need to take victory over Plymouth if they are to keep pace with Rotherham.

Plymouth could be staring down the barrel of zero points following these two games which could be a disaster waiting to happen.

Wycombe will be looking to bounce straight back into the Championship following last season’s relegation.

Gareth Ainsworth’s side have played twice more than 7th place Wednesday and only lead Darren Moore’s team by a single point.

Sheffield Wednesday (H)

Burton Albion (A)

That home tie with Wednesday could be season defining and almost like a play-off to make the play-offs.

A victory in that game would all but confirm a top six finish for the side.

The final game of the season against Burton is also on the kinder side, with Albion
