Prediction: 2-2
Grimsby
Bradford City and Grimsby Town square off against each other at Valley Parade in an eagerly-awaited League Two game. The Bantams aim to climb to the playoffs berth, but Saturday’s game will be anything but a walk in the park for Graham Alexander’s troops. Experienced forward Andy Cook will be assessed ahead of the kick-off after suffering an injury in a 2-2 draw with Barrow. Fellow attacker Oliver Sanderson is ready to sneak into the starting XI if needed.
The Mariners, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 3-2 loss to Accrington. As Grimsby Town aim to regain their spot in top seven as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. In their last meeting in the English fourth tier, Grimsby Town defeated Bradford City 2-1 and yet another high-scoring affair is on the horizon. Forward Danny Rose is widely expected to return to Grimsby’s starting line-up.
