Bolton have a two-goal advantage

Barnsley will make the trip to Bolton for the second leg of the EFL League One Play-off Semi-finals. Bolton Wanderers picked up a big win in the first leg, but all hope is not lost for Barnsley, who could turn it around this weekend.

Bolton in their 46 league games won 25, drew 12 and lost 9 matches. They have been very impressive in front of the goal this season and will look to book their place in Wembley.

Barnsley finished the League One season in 6th position the last Play-off spot. In 46 games, Barnsley picked up 21 wins, 13 draws and 12 losses which left them in sixth, just two points above Lincoln and three points above Blackpool. Their last few results have been poor and lack confidence but they will have to perform well and give their best if they want to go to Wembley. This will be an exciting match for sure.

Nicky Cadden (Barnsley)
