Fulham travel to relegated Blackpool on Saturday knowing that a victory will end their fears of joining the Tangerines in League One next season.
Blackpool are without a win since the end of January, and after being thrashed at Derby County in midweek, Lee Clark will be looking for a response from his men against a Fulham side that have endured a poor campaign.
Fulham are not quite out of danger yet, after a major slump in form earlier in the season dragged them well into the relegation scrap.
Kit Symons had looked well on his way to steering the Cottagers into mid-table after he took charge, but one win from 12 at the beginning of 2015 saw them plummet down the standings.
The gap between themselves and Millwall in 22nd place is seven points, although the Lions have a game in hand, so a win at Bloomfield Road should be enough to ensure Fulham's Championship status.
Symonds's men edged closer to safety with a 1-1 draw against relegation rivals Rotherham United at Craven Cottage on Wednesday evening.
After this weekend's visit to Blackpool, they face promotion contenders Middlesbrough and Norwich City in their final two fixtures, which only heightens the importance of taking at least a point from this game.
Blackpool's campaign has been one to forget, with their drop to League One eventually confirmed earlier this month after a run of 12 games without a win.
That run has now been extended to 15 games after they lost 4-0 to promotion hopefuls Derby County on Tuesday evening.
Prior to their heavy defeat at the iPro Stadium, Blackpool had shown signs of improvement, with draws picked up against Leeds United, Bolton Wanderers and Reading respectively before they suffered a narrow defeat to Ipswich Town.
Blackpool have given little for their home fans to cheer this season, having won just four of their 21 fixtures at Bloomfield Road this season. However, their recent performances will give them some encouragement that they can make it five against Fulham.
