For the Dale, they recovered from their final day chaos against York City to overcome Scunthorpe United in the semi-final and are highly fancied as they were only pipped to the title and automatic promotion by two points.
The Wood, on the other hand, have never reached the Football League and defeated Forest Green Rovers and 10-man Carlisle to reach their maiden National League play-off final.The stage is set for what promises to be a tension-fuelled affair as DAZN News has all the information ahead of Boreham Wood vs. Rochdale.

Boreham Wood vs. Rochdale: the tale of the tape
This will be the first-ever play-off meeting between Rochdale and Boreham Wood, who have contrasting histories in the English game.
The Dale were relegated from the Football League for the first time in their 119-year history in 2023 and suffered defeat in last season's play-off eliminator to Southend United, having finished fourth.
Rochdale's last visit to Wembley was when they were defeated by Tottenham in an FA Cup fifth-round replay in 2018, when the North London side were temporary occupants of the home of football.
Before that, they lost 3-2 to Stockport County in the 2008 League Two play-off final.
As for Boreham Wood, their fourth-placed finish this season equalled the best in the club's history, when they achieved the same position in the 2017-18 campaign.
That season, the Wood made it to the play-off final at Wembley but were beaten by Tranmere Rovers, who earned promotion to League Two with a 2-1 victory.

Head-to-head record
Given their contrasting history, it is unsurprising that the two sides have only met on four occasions, with Rochdale yet to lose to their opponents.
All of those meetings came in the last two campaigns, and the Dale reigned victorious twice this term, winning 2-0 away and 4-1 at home.
