Prediction: 1-1
Crawley
Bradford City play host to Crawley Town at their Valley Parade in the League Two round 27. The Bantams aim to put an end to their three-game winless run and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-oriented approach in Saturday’s clash. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team ahead of the visit of Crawley. The Red Devils, on the other hand, kickstarted 2024 in style, with the team beating Swindon Town 3-1 at home soil.
Crawley Town, though, have already suffered six defeats on the road this term and, taking everything into account, we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from Saturday’s encounter. Scott Lindsey is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Robins. It has to be noted that the two sides shared the spoils in two of their last three meetings in the English fourth tier.
