Summary:
In the present paper, we classify groups with the same order and degree pattern as an almost simple group related to the projective special linear simple group $L_{2}(49)$. As a consequence of this result we can give a positive answer to a conjecture of W. J. Shi and J. X. Bi, for all almost simple groups related to $L_{2}(49)$ except $L_{2}(49)\cdot 2^{2}$. Also, we prove that if $M$ is an almost simple group related to $L_{2}(49)$ except $L_{2}(49)\cdot 2^{2}$ and $G$ is a finite group such that $|G|=|M|$ and $\Gamma (G)=\Gamma (M)$, then $G\cong M$.
