Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Valley Parade will host Thursday’s League Two game between Bradford City and Port Vale. The Bantams aim to bounce back from a 3-0 loss to Notts County and you should know that they are after their sixth home win of the process. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, both Oliver Sanders and Clark Oduor are in line for a spot in the starting XI.
The Valiants, on the other hand, are on a five-game winless run in the League Two. As Port Vale failed to find the net in the previous three league matches, we are tempted to place our bets on Bradford City. In their last meeting in the English fourth tier Port Vale defeated Bradford City 2-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. Midfielder Rakeem Harper is rated doubtful for the visiting side after limping off with injury in a goalless draw with Carlisle.
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.
