Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Bradford City will be desperate to put an end to their four-game winless run in all competitions when they host Barrow at Valley Parade on Tuesday. The Bantams’ defensive struggles could be noticed even more by the absence of key centre-back Neill Byrne, who is serving a suspension after picking up a red card in their previous match. Despite their poor form, the hosts have attacking talent capable of making life difficult for the Bluebirds' backline.
Barrow, meanwhile, arrive in West Yorkshire aiming to bounce back from consecutive losses to AFC Wimbledon and Chesterfield. However, their defensive unit may also be understrength, with experienced defender Chris Stokes doubtful after limping off last time out. Both teams are expected to approach the clash with a win in mind, making for an open and competitive encounter. Bradford’s home advantage and Barrow’s recent struggles suggest the hosts might edge it, but defensive vulnerabilities on both sides make both teams to score the best prediction for Tuesday's encounter.
