Prediction: 2-1
Bradford
Buoyed by a 3-0 win over Newport County, Accrington Town will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Bradford City in the EFL Cup round 1. The Accy Stanley produced a splendid display in the season opener and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against the Bantams. Both Shaun Whalley and Korede Adedoyin should be recalled to the starting XI after the duo got their names on the scoresheet in the triumph over the Exiles.
Bradford, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Crawley Town. Since important defender Daniel Oyegoke serves a one-game ban for the visiting side, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Accrington. In their last encounter in the EFL Cup back in 2016 Accrington defeated Bradford on penalties and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
