Swindon take a 2-1 lead to Vale Park as they continue their quest to return to League One at the first attempt.

Ben Garner’s side will go into the game full of confidence, having won their last five games by an aggregate score of 12-3 and keeping a clean sheet in each of their last two away games.

Port Vale, on the other hand have struggled for form at the end of the season, losing four of their last five games in League Two including the play-off semi-final first leg. Before that, the Valiants had gone on a nine game unbeaten run in the league and will need to rediscover that form if they are going to have any chance of making it to Wembley.
