Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Bradford City and Sutton square off against each other at Valley Parade in what is expected to be a close League Two game. The Bantams are eager to stay in the playoffs berth, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Monday’s encounter. The Bantams want this win more than the visitors, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Keep in mind, though, that defender Matthew Platt is banned for the match.
Sutton, on the other hand, suffered a 1-0 loss to Stockport County on Friday, with the Hatters ruining their playoffs hopes. Considering that Bradford are eager to stay in top seven, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. To make things even worse for the away side, experienced midfielder Craig Eastmond limped off with injury in the last league match.
