Beaten semi-finalists (1994, 2015)Ollies key man: Graham Carey: To get 11 goals from midfield at any level is impressive. Hes slotted in perfectly in his debut season - hes a very talented boy. Graham Carey has been key for Plymouth Argyle Portsmouth Final position: 6th (78 points)Recent form: LLWWWLSeason summary: Having fallen all the way down from the Premier League, this is Portsmouths first opportunity to start their climb back up the ladder.Paul Cooks side were in and around the play-off spots for the entire season but a patchy run of form near Christmas and the start of 2016 dented their chances of a top-three finish.Among the four play-off teams, they scored the most goals in the regular season and also had the best defensive record. They should be boosted by the return from injury of joint-top scorer Marc McNulty as well as Kyle Bennett.Play-off history: Beaten semi-finalists (1993)Manager: Paul CookOllies key man: Gary Roberts: A player with fantastic ability. He can unlock doors with his left foot. Gary Roberts has scored nine goals for Portsmouth this season Ollies first-leg prediction: Adams will be making sure his Plymouth boys will be remaining positive as, despite their recent slump, theyve had a magnificent season.Three more strong performances is all thats required - I hope they do it. Their first job at Fratton Park will be to silence the home crowd, who will be buzzing for this. If they achieve that, then I fancy an away win.OLLIE PREDICTS: 1-2 (Sky Bet odds 9/1)Semi-final 2: AFC Wimbledon/AccringtonLeg 1: AFC Wimbledon v Accrington - Saturday, May 14 (Sky Sports 1 HD from 7.30pm)Leg 2: Accrington v AFC Wimbledon - Wednesday, May 18 (KO: 7.45pm) AFC WimbledonFinal position: 7th (75 points)Manager: Neal ArdleyRecent form: WWWLDWSeason summary: Having avoided relegation on the final day a few years ago, the Dons are looking up this year after a strong second half of the season.Seven wins from eight matches at the start of 2016 launched them into the play-offs and, after dropping out in March, they soared again with five wins in a row in April. AFC Wimbledon won their last game of the season against Newport Although the Dons scored the fewest goals among the play-off sides and conceded the most, they have one of the divisions top scorers in Lyle Taylor. Signed from Scunthorpe last summer, Taylor netted 20 goals in the regular season.Play-off history: N/AOllies key man: Paul Robinson: What a fantastic bloke to have around. Hell be relishing this challenge and has history in the play-offs, scoring a Wembley winner for his boyhood club Millwall. Ian Holloway is backing AFC Wimbledons Paul Robinson to make an impact Accrington StanleyFinal position: 4th (85 points)Manager: John ColemanRecent form: WDWWWDSeason summary: Accrington will have to put their final day heartbreak behind them as they look to win promotion to the third tier for the first time in the clubs history.John Colemans side would have gone up automatically if they had beaten Stevenage, but they were held to a goalless draw and had third place snatched from their grasp by a late Bristol Rovers winner. Accrington were held to a draw by Stevenage on the final day Still, considering they finished 17th last season, it has been a remarkable year already for Accrington. They have the lowest budget in the Football League and the second lowest average attendance, but have lost only twice since February 13, winning four of their last six games.Play-off history: Beaten semi-finalists (2011)Ollies key man: Josh Windass: With a name like Windass youre born to do it in the play-offs! Hell be keen to showcase his talents to the world before he moves to Rangers. Josh Windass is set to leave Accrington in the summer to join Rangers Ollies first-leg prediction: How unlucky were Accrington last weekend?All they needed was a win to go up, but they drew 0-0 and hit the crossbar three times. It would be a fantastic story if they were to see the job out via the play-offs - their fans deserve a Wembley day out.Saying that, AFC Wimbledons fans also deserve a huge amount of credit to stick with their team during some dark days. This will be a cagey game as AFC dont concede too many.OLLIE PREDICTS: 1-1 (Sky Bet odds 5/1)Watch all of the League Two play-off matches live on Sky Sports.
