This week's Npower League Two fixtures for Plymouth Argyle and Torquay United could go a long way to deciding the fate of both sides.
The Pilgrims find themselves bottom of the Football League and two points from safety after their 1-0 defeat against Northampton Town.
John Sheridan's side travel to fellow strugglers AFC Wimbledon on Tuesday night before facing Edgar Davids' Barnet at Home Park on Saturday.
Both are games that Argyle cannot afford to lose and if they fail to obtain a minimum of four points from those two matches-then their situation will begin to look extremely precarious.
That is not to say that the Pilgrims are not capable of doing this.
In their six matches under Sheridan, they have secured two wins, two draws and two defeats, which includes a win and a draw against fellow strugglers Aldershot Town and Accrington Stanley respectively.
This comes after previously winning once in their previous 16 matches in all competitions under Sheridan's predecessor Carl Fletcher.
Meanwhile, Torquay, after narrowly losing 1-0 to Port Vale on Saturday, host Wycombe Wanderers ahead of their visit to Accrington on Saturday.
Interim Manager Alan Knill is still looking for his first win in , after being named as a temporary stand-in for manager Martin Ling, and is also seeking to arrest an alarming slump that has seen the Gulls lose their last six matches.
Perhaps equally as concerning, Torquay have only scored three goals during this run: two of which have come from the penalty spot.
With the Gulls' poor record at Accrington- which in recent years reads played four, lost four-the visit of Wycombe is a contest that Torquay should be looking upon as a must-win game.
