Entering the business phase of the campaign, Derby, in second place, and Barnsley, in fifth, are currently separated by five points.
After their weekend 2-2 draw at Exeter, Ian Evatt’s Wanderers sit one point out of the top two.
Evans believes Peterborough will finish in the automatic promotion spots; his Stevenage team is currently sixth in the table.
With a game remaining, Darren Ferguson’s team is now three points behind Bolton and looking to improve on their play-off agony against Sheffield Wednesday from the previous season.
Evans stated to the Peterborough Telegraph: I still think that they will rise automatically, as I stated after we drew 2-2 with them at our place.
We are aware that we will have to exert all of our effort to succeed on Wednesday since they have some great players who are also ravenous and driven.
We have a manager who is a magician and he has his squad playing fantastic football.
We will be out to stop that runaway train on Wednesday, but as I said, I don’t think Peterborough will be in those play-offs and I hope they aren’t because I want them to go up.
In October, the Whites defeated Stevenage 3-2 at the Toughsheet Community Stadium, with goals from Josh Sheehan, Dion Charles, and Jack Iredale.
Evans went on, No one would have predicted us to be ahead of any of those clubs we are battling for a play-off spot at the beginning of the season.
However, I think we’ll win the play-offs if we make it that far. Nobody will want to play for us as a team.
We were unfortunate to lose both games, as we were defeated by one goal at Barnsley and Bolton. They can both still be played with at home.
On Good Friday, March 29, Wanderers will visit Lamex Stadium to take on Evans’ team.
