Darlington v Rochdale

This is a real tricky one to call but Darlington get the vote on the back of having home advantage and gaining a morale boosting win at Peterborough last weekend.

It has been a real tough few months for Dave Penney having lost most of his strikers in a woeful injury crisis, but the fact Darlo managed to bank their play-off place shows a lot about the character of this team and with just five defeats at home this season, the Quakers are a tough nut to crack and have one of the best home defensive records in the division.

Penney has revealed that certain star name players might be the in the frame to return for this one, but he has been keeping his cards close to his chest this week and will surely look to spring a surprise on Rochdale, who have been fantastic on the road this season but who might have question marks about how well they will cope with the pressure of being in the play-offs.

Rochdale have one of the youngest squads in the division and while they will head into the play-offs in good form this will be unchartered waters for most of the people associated with the club, and that could prove to be a telling factor if Penney can get some of his experienced heads back.

It's hard to fault Rochdale's record on the road this season, but a lot has to be said for how Darlo dug deep to bounce back to form at London Road last weekend, and while this will be tight, tense game (like the rest of them), the hosts could just sneak this one and at 11/8 look well worth having a nibble on.

Wycombe v Stockport

This promises to be one of the best games of the weekend, with two decent footballing sides going head-to-head, with both sides in a decent run of form.

The fact Wycombe have finally made the play-offs after so many years of near misses might make them dangerous proposition, but at the same time it's hard not to think back to how they have crumbled in recent years when promotion has been there for the taking, and with that in mind the vote goes to Stockport to leave Adams Park with the win on Sunday.

You can't fault Wycombe's finish to the season with three wins from their last four, but if you take a look at the opposition they played only one of the sides were in the top 10, and that was Bradford in 10th, and prior to that they played three of the top four sides and failed to win any of them, despite two being at home.

Stockport were one of those sides who managed to claim a goalless draw at Adams Park and being the form side in the division they are fancied to nick a 1-0 lead tohead back to Edgeley Park next week.

Jim Gannon's men have been superb over the last four months and have beaten the very best and worst this division has to offer, and while Wycombe are tough to beat at home, Stockport have been superb on the road all season, winning 13 of their 23 games, and with just three defeats from their last 15 games it would take a brave man to bet against the Hatters downing the Chairboys in their own backyard.
