Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Rochdale and Bradford City square off against each other at Spotland Stadium in what is expected to be a very interesting game. The Dale are desperate to keep their survival hopes alive, and they have no other option but to go all guns blazing at the Bantams. Barring any fresh injury concerns, boss Jim McNulty is unlikely to make changes to the team that shared the spoils with Mansfield on Monday.
Bradford, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Sutton. The Bantams are eager to stay in the playoffs berth, and seeing that they will go for a win as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. In the first half of the season Rochdale defeated Bradford 2-1, which is yet another reason why this betting option should be considered. Bradford boss Mark Hughes is likely to stick to the same starting XI that outplayed Sutton on Monday.
Highlighted Player (Liam Kelly):
Born in Newport Pagnell, England Liam Kelly is a right-footed midfielder who plays for Coventry City in the League One. Kelly is a product of Milton Keynes Dons football school, but he did not play for the club at senior level. The English footballer started his senior career at Scottish club Kilmarnock, but after making 100 appearances in the league for the Killie, he moved to England, signing a three-and-a-half-year deal with Bristol City.
The English footballer played for the likes of Oldaham Athletic and Leyton Orient as well before joining Coventry City in the summer of 2017. His main position is central midfielder, but he is capable of playing as both defensive and right midfielder as well.
His preferred foot is right. He made his league debut with Coventry City on August 5, 2017 in a 3-0 win over Notts County, while scoring his first goal for the club in a 3-1 win over Stevenage in April, 2018.
Highlighted Team (Bradford):
Founded back in 1903, Bradford City are professional football club that compete in League Two. The Bantams are well known for their claret and amber shirts, whereas white is the dominant colour of their away kit. Bradford City maintain rivalries with Leeds United and Huddersfield Town, with the teams facing each other in the West Yorkshire derby.
The Bantams participated in the Bradford derby with local rivals Bradford Park Avenue in the past. Bradford City did remarkably well to win the FA Cup in 1911, with the team beating Newcastle United in the final. In 2013 the club made it to the League Cup final, where they suffered a heavy 5-0 loss to Swansea City in the title game.
Saint Kitts and Nevis international Ces Poss is the player with most appearances (502) for the club, while former Northern Ireland attacker Bobby Campbell is sitting in the top position in the Bradford City all-time top goalscorers list.
