Here's a rundown of the Betfair odds for promotion and info on remaining fixtures for the teams that could join the current top two in the second tier next season.

Cambridge United 81 points 2/91.22

Third-placed Cambridge are in the best position to seal the final automatic promotion place. They go to a Crewe Alexander side that sit 10th and can't make the play-offs on Saturday afternoon. The Us were without a win in two but last weekend's 3-0 win over Barrow blew away the cobwebs.

Salford City 80 points 1/12.00

Fourth-placed Salford have won two in a row and will finish their push for automatic promotion when they go to Crawley on Saturday. The West Sussex side will not lack for motivation as they are fighting for survival on the final day.

Notts County 79 points 9/43.25

The Magpies can still swipe an automatic promotion place and, with a home match against mid-table Bristol Rovers on Saturday, it may yet be on for Martin Paterson's men. County's goal difference is superior to Salford's but they will need a better result than the teams above them.

Grimsby 77 points 11/43.75

A season that has already seen a famous victory over Manchester United in the League Cup could yet end in promotion for Grimsby. It will need to be via the play-offs, but they are guaranteed a spot as the teams in seventh and eighth (Chesterfield anbd Swindon) play each other and therefor cannot both overhaul The Mariners. Grimsby are at Tranmere, who are fighting to stay in the league, on the final day.

Chesterfield 76 points 11/26.50

Chesterfield are seventh in League 2 and occupy the final play-off position with one game to go. It is tight, though, with Swindon 8/19.00 hot on their heels. The pair meet on the final day at Swindon's ground so visitors must win or draw to make the play-offs. Lose and it's the Robins who will be in with a shot a promotion via the play-offs. Then there's Barnet 150/1151.00 who have an outside chance of making the play-offs but will need to beat Harrogate and hope Swindon v Chesterfield ends as a draw.

Who will be relegated from League 2?

Bottom club Barrow are all but certain to go down, due to being three points from safety and having inferior goal difference to the teams around them. One more team will join them in dropping out of the league.

Harrogate 11/102.11 are 23rd in the table. They must beat Barnet and hope the teams starting the day above them drop points on Saturday.

Crawley Town 5/42.25 are one point above the dropzone and four goals better off than Harrogate. The Sussex side will want to throw a spanner in Salford's promotion bid on Saturday and climb to safety.

Newport County 11/26.50 should be ok, as the price indicates, but sit just one point above Crawley and can take nothing for granted when they go to Barrow on the final day.

Tranmere 11/112.00 are just one point outside the dropzone and yet their big price indicates they will be playing League 2 football next season. A highly motivated Grimsby are their Saturday's visitors though.
