Prediction: 2-1
Sutton
After rolling over MK Dons 4-0 in midweek, Bradford City will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Sutton in the League Two round 34. The Bantams are four points behind the playoffs berth and they are seen as hot favourites to win Saturday’s encounter. Barring any fresh injury concerns, Graham Alexander is unlikely to make changes to the team that crushed the Dons.
The Yellows, on the other hand, are having a season to forget, with the team collecting only 22 points to date. As the rock-bottom side failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Morecambe and Wrexham, we are tempted to put our money on the home side. To make things even worse for the visiting team, experienced midfielder Harry Beautyman suffered an injury in the midweek defeat. Craig Eastmond is widely expected to replace him in the starting XI.
