Overall, they had a mixed performance lately, they won 2 of their last five matches and lost 1. Of course, this could also be the incentive the team needs to improve their game.
Another match fans are looking forward to takes place on 03/23/2024 at 15:00. Here, Oxford United (currently in 6th place) will face Lincoln City (7th place). They both could overthrow their opponent in their last match (Lincoln City played against Bristol Rovers and Oxford United won against Port Vale), so they will both be motivated to continue their winning streak.

League Table - Who is at the Top of the Standings?
Portsmouth FC are currently leading the table with 83 points and a goal differencial of 31 (63 scored and 32 received). So far, they have won 24 out of their 39 matches–and since they're leading by 5 points they don't have to worry too much about losing. Derby County (14/78pts), however, could use their match against Northampton Town (14/50pts), to narrow the gap to the leader. In any case, players will give their best to help their team win. But not only the top of the table has some interesting matches to offer–teams in the lower half also have to fight hard to stay in their league and not finish the season in last place. If they fight hard, Carlisle United could actually stay in the league, since they're only 16 points behind Cambridge United (20/39pts), who are in need of points to not face relegation.
The biggest positive change in position, compared to the last matchday, has been made by Wycombe Wanderers (8/61 points), who moved up two positions and are now in eighth place in the league. On the other side, Stevenage FC (12/50 points) made the biggest loss in positions, losing a total of two ranks.
