Match Preview

Bolton's season ended with a frustrating result against Luton as two second-half goals, including one in stoppage time, condemned the Trotters to a 3-2 home defeat. Saturday's hosts dropped to fifth in gameweek 46 and have won just one of their last six league games heading into the play-offs. However, they have lost just twice at home this season.

Bradford ended their campaign in style, relegating Exeter City to League Two with a 2-1 away win at St James Park. Graham Alexander's side took seven points from their final three regular-season away matches, although they have won just one of their last five overall.
