Bradford City return to action with no fresh injury concerns, but confidence took a hit after a heavy 3–0 defeat to Lincoln at the weekend. Anyhow, we predict a 2-2 draw as both Bradford and Doncaster are capable of scoring. Bradford's home form remains a major source of optimism: the Bantams average 2.25 points per game at Valley Parade, winning 75% of their home matches and conceding just 0.75 goals. Their underlying numbers also back this up, with a strong home xGA of 0.86, suggesting structural defensive solidity. Goalscoring can be inconsistent, however, with Bradford failing to net in 30% of fixtures overall.
Doncaster head into Saturday's game in excellent spirits after a commanding 3–0 win over Leyton Orient, also reporting no new injuries. Grant McCann’s side are unpredictable but generally entertaining: Donny’s matches average a remarkable 4.10 goals per game, largely due to a leaky defence that concedes 2.20 goals per match. Their away record is modest (0.75 PPG) and they concede 2.25 goals on the road, though an away expected goals of 1.26 shows they still pose attacking threat.
Historically the matchup is tight, with Doncaster edging the H2H (9 wins to 7). As Doncaster see BTTS in 70% of games and attack well away, we are tempted to place our bets on BTTS, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Bradford City or Draw (Bantams tough to beat at home).
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 31 January 2026 at 12:30.
