Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Whaddon Park will host Tuesday’s football game between Cheltenham Town and Bradford City, the two teams that defeated Colchester and Gillingham respectively at the weekend. Michael Flynn’s troops have regained a much-needed confidence, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to move closer to the playoffs berth. A man to watch in the home team will be Jordan Thomas, who scored a brace against the U’s, while both Scott Bennett and Liam Kinsella are major doubts as the duo got injured in the last league fixture.
The Bantams, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the English fourth tier and a win over Cheltenham could see them climb to the automatic promotion berth. As Bradford have found their best form of late, we predict that they are going to pick up all three points from the midweek clash. Tyreik Wright should be the only absentee in the away team.
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.
