Supercomputer predicts Luton Town, Bradford City, Bolton Wanderers and Lincoln City will take the race for automatic promotion to the wire

It’s been a disappointing week for Luton after defeat against Exeter City on New Year’s Day.

The Hatters were denied the chance to get back to winning ways after the trip to Doncaster fell foul of a frozen pitch.

It leaves Luton, who had won their previous two games, just outside the play-offs places.

The top three have now broken clear with the Hatters now 13 points adrift of Lincoln City.

But just six points seperate fourth-placed Huddersfield from Wycombe in tenth with the play-off race set for an exciting second half of the season
