Final day of EFL reckoning for Middlesbrough FC, Hull City, Bradford City and Harrogate Town

Seven days on from the Minstermen's astonishing National League finale at Rochdale, the fates of Championship duo Middlesbrough and Hull City go down to the wire on the last weekend of games across the EFL.

Bradford City also face a definitive day in League One, as do Harrogate Town in the division below.

What is surely guaranteed is that there will be drama somewhere in the English pyramid, just as there was at Spotland last weekend.

Fourth-placed Boro are very much the outsiders in a three-horse race to join Coventry in the Premier League. To gatecrash their way into the runners-up spot, they must beat Wrexham and hope that Ipswich lose at home to QPR and Millwall fail to sink relegated Oxford.

Hull, battling for the final play-off place alongside Derby – who host Sheffield United – are anxious for Boro to do them a significant favour against the Red Dragons, currently ahead of the Tigers on goal difference in the final play-off spot.

That Boro still retain some hope of finishing in the top two is good news for Hull, who welcome Norwich today.

Boro head coach Kim Hellberg said: "We talked about making it to the last day and and that was important.

"When we went into this week, it was three teams ahead of us and now it’s two teams. It's not easy to win games.

"If we win our game, things can happen. If you tell me to bet on on the favourite, I would not bet on us in terms of getting promoted because that’s is how it is. But it’s very, very difficult in this league.

"It's a crazy ending. I don’t know if you have enough screens to watch everything, with some teams trying to get into the play-offs and three teams competing for the automatic positions in between them. After 45 games, to get this type of last day is unbelievable."

Hull are level on points with Wrexham, but the latter's goal difference is one better. In terms of goals scored, City have netted one more.

If those two sets of statistics don't separate both clubs today, the Tigers will finish higher because of their better head-to-head record.

Then there's also Derby to consider. Despite being one point adrift of both, they possess a better goal difference.

Both Hull and the Rams face teams with nothing to play for on paper. For his part, Tigers chief Sergej Jakirovic is reading little into that.

He said: "I watched Leicester versus Millwall. And in my opinion, Millwall will win this. But then when I saw Leicester's team, how they were fighting, running, I was thinking they are fighting for top two/top three. This is football. It should be like this always."

In the third tier, Bradford need a point to confirm a play-off place at an Exeter side who must win to maintain any hope of escaping relegation.

With Bolton Wanderers assured of a place in the end-of-season lottery, five other teams are fighting it out for the remaining three spots.

The Bantams can still finish anywhere between third and seventh. Alongside Bolton and City, Stockport – who visit Barnsley in Conor Hourihane's final game in charge – and Stevenage currently occupy the other play-off slots, while Luton and Plymouth are also in the picture.

Bantams boss Graham Alexander is confident that those Bantams players who were involved in last season's stupendous finale against Fleetwood can draw upon those experiences today.

He said: "The more games you play like this, the more it builds up the understanding. I think we’ve got so many players in the squad who have that in abundance and we need to see that."

In the bottom rung, Harrogate will stay up if they beat visiting Barnet – unless relegation rivals Crawley, Newport and Tranmere all win. There are other permutations which could also potentially save the Sulphurites.
