Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Bradford City and Mansfield town go head to head at Valley Parade in the League Two round 33. The Bantams have been producing fine displays in the League Two ever since they suffered a 3-2 loss to Exeter City, with the team recording four consecutive wins in the league. Bradford City are eyeing their fifth consecutive win in the League Two, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Tuesday’s football match.
The Yellows, on the other hand, aim to build on a 1-0 win over Morecambe, and seeing that they are likely to go for a triumph in the midweek clash as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. In the first half of the season Bradford City defeated Mansfield Town 3-1 at Field Mill, which is yet another reason why BTTS betting option should be considered.
