PREVIEW
And now it is down to this - the EFL League Two Play-Off Final at Wembley Stadium which will define the season of Coventry City and Exeter City.
The combined total of 96 matches that the two sides have played in League and Play-Off Semi-Finals count for nothing and it is down to ninety minutes of football with the possibility of extra time and penalties to decide who will take the final promotion place into League One.
For Coventry City, getting promoted at the first opportunity is vital. City supporters are all too aware of what happens if the Sky Blues don't make an instant return to the division they were relegated from and with established Football League clubs like Chesterfield, Leyton Orient and Hartlepool having dropped out of the league entirely, staying in League Two is not a prospect that many City supporters will relish.
Paul Tisdale's side will not want to lose at Wembley Stadium again, having lost to Blackpool in last year's League Two Play-Off Final.
Both sides should have the same squads available for their Semi-Final Second Legs. The Sky Blues have Tom Davies suspended.
