Salford
Bradford City welcome to Salford City at their Valley Parade in the League Two round 2. The Bantams kicked off the new season in style, with the team beating MK Dons on the road and they must be high on confidence ahead of their first home game of the season. As Vadaine Oliver suffered an injury in the EFL Cup defeat to Grimsby Town, Andy Cook is widely expected to start against Salford City.
The Lions, on the other hand, failed to impress in preseason and they continue with poor displays in the new campaign. As Salford have been struggling in front of goal of late, home win should definitely be considered. Ireland defender Stephan Negru is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the EFL Cup loss. Cole Stockton is widely expected to lead the line for the visitors.
