- Sunderland have won seven of eight home matches in the EFL play-offs
- Stockport approach their second leg against Leyton Orient on a nine-game unbeaten run
- Walsall have won back-to-back games for the first time since February.

The play-off semi-finals have reached the halfway stage with all 12 teams hoping for one more big performance to clinch a spot at Wembley.

Sheffield United are the best-placed Championship side, having won 3-0 away to Bristol City, while Walsall are in the driving seat against League Two rivals Chesterfield having triumphed 2-0 at the SMH Group Stadium.

Sheffield United vs Bristol City (Monday, 8:00pm)

Sheffield United have one foot at Wembley after showing their class in last Thursday's 3-0 victory at Ashton Gate.

Chris Wilder's side were ruthless against the Robins, who were hampered by the first leg dismissal of key defender Rob Dickie.

City will have to try to open up at Bramall Lane, but they run the risk of being sliced open by the Blades, who should increase their aggregate advantage.

Score prediction: Sheffield United 2-1 Bristol City

Sunderland vs Coventry (Tuesday, 8pm)

Sunderland snapped a five-game losing sequence with last Friday's clinical 2-1 victory over Coventry at the CBS Arena and they look ready to kick on in the second leg on Wearside.

Regis Le Bris' side seem to have regained their focus and intensity and they should be too strong for the Sky Blues, who took just one point from their last five away fixtures.

Score prediction: Sunderland 3-1 Coventry

Stockport vs Leyton Orient (Wednesday, 8pm)

Leyton Orient's 2-2 draw at home to Stockport was probably the most entertaining of the first leg matches.

Stockport will be hoping to benefit from vociferous home support at Edgeley Park but they could fall short against the Londoners, who have triumphed on each of their last four road trips.

Score prediction: Stockport 1-2 Leyton Orient

Charlton vs Wycombe (Thursday, 5:30pm)

Wycombe played out a dour 0-0 draw against Charlton on Sunday and they may regret failing to offer more of a threat in front of their home fans.

Charlton were happy to play a containing game at the weekend but they should be much more positive at the Valley and can ease to a fairly comfortable victory.

Score prediction: Charlton 2-0 Wycombe

Walsall vs Chesterfield (Friday, 8:00pm)

Walsall had a tough time in the last few months of the League Two season but they put everything behind them on Sunday by registering a surprise 2-0 triumph away to Chesterfield.

However, the Saddlers have not won a home game since February and they could settle for a stalemate against the Spireites, who may struggle to turn their fortunes around.

Score prediction: Walsall 1-1 Chesterfield

AFC Wimbledon vs Notts County (Saturday, 12:30pm)

AFC Wimbledon delivered a controlled performance in Saturday's 1-0 victory away to Notts County and they can wrap up the tie with another low-scoring success.

Problems are piling up for County, who lost Alassana Jatta to a first-leg red card and have a major injury doubt over key forward David McGoldrick.

Score prediction: AFC Wimbledon 1-0 Notts County
