Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Bradford City play host to Gillingham at their Valley Parade in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter. The Bantams have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team losing to Harrogate, beating Tranmere, while sharing the spoils with Grimsby Town. Bradford City are eager to keep their playoffs hopes alive and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Gills. Scotland midfielder Jamie Walker is pushing for a start after the 30-year-old was rested in Monday’s clash.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to climb to the playoffs places and seeing that they will go for a win in Saturday’s encounter as well, we are tempted to bet on both teams to score. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to West Yorkshire. In their last meeting at the venue the two sides played out a 2-2 draw.
