Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Valley Parade will host Saturday’s League Two game between Bradford City and Accrington Town. The Bantams are on a four-game winless run in the English fourth tier, but this match could be the turning point for Graham Alexander’s troops. Defender Jack Shepherd limped off with injury in the EFL Trophy loss to Rotherham United, with Neill Byrne likely to return to the starting line-up.
The Accy Stanley, on the other hand, have been scoring goals for fun of late, with the team netting two or more goals in each of their last five games in all competitions. As Accrington Town are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. In their last meeting in the League Two Bradford City defeated Accrington, meaning that home win should be considered as well. Defender Farrend Rawson misses out through suspension following his sending-off in the 2-2 draw with AFC Wimbledon.
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.
