Ipswich Town, Millwall and Middlesbrough can all still finish second and clinch automatic promotion behind champions Coventry, while Wrexham, Hull City and Derby County battle for the final play-off spot. Even fifth-place Southampton, who cannot finish in the top two, will want a victory to give themselves the chance of a more favourable play-off tie.
If that wasn't enough, two of those sides face each other as Wrexham host Boro in North Wales. With every game kicking-off at the same time, it promises to be an enthralling final day.

Championship final day: preview
Pre-season title favourites Ipswich are stumbling over the finish line in the race for Championship promotion, but they won't care one bit if they are celebrating an instant return to the Premier League come full-time on Saturday.
Despite winning just one of their past five games, the Tractor Boys know a victory at home to mid-table QPR will be enough to seal the second automatic promotion spot.
Kieran McKenna's men have no margin for error, though, with just two points between themselves, Millwall and Middlesbrough. The Lions certainly have the easier fixture on paper, welcoming already-relegated Oxford United to The Den, but they will need their London rivals to do them a favour at Portman Road to overturn the one-point deficit to Ipswich and return to the top flight for the first time in 36 years.

For Middlesbrough to finish in the top two, they must win at Wrexham and hope Millwall fail to beat Oxford and Ipswich lose to QPR.
That set of results looks improbable enough even before you consider that Phil Parkinson's side must win to keep their play-off fate in their own hands, so they will be right up for it.
Wrexham are above seventh-place Hull only due to having a better goal difference by one, so anything but a victory opens the door for the Tigers, who host a Norwich side who have been one of the division's best teams in the second half of the campaign.
Derby are a point further back and host a Sheffield United side with nothing to play for, with the Rams knowing they will snatch sixth spot if they better both Wrexham and Hull's results.
Last but not least, fifth-place Southampton's automatic promotion hopes vanished thanks to Tuesday's 2-2 draw with Ipswich, but they can still finish third if Millwall lose to Oxford and Boro fail to beat Wrexham.
Does that all make sense? Good. Now sit back and enjoy.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Automatic promotion: Ipswich Town
Play-offs: Millwall, Southampton, Middlesbrough, Wrexham
FourFourTwo expects Ipswich to get the job done against QPR, while a Wrexham victory over Boro seals their place in the play-offs and sees Saints, who should beat Preston, rise to fourth.
