Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Buoyed by the EFL Cup win over Sheffield Wednesday, Mansfield Town will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Bradford City on Matchday 6. The Yellows have been producing fine displays in the new League Two campaign and their performance in a 3-2 win over Stockport County is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Saturday’s clash. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Davis Keillor-Dunn, who scored a brace in the last league fixture.
The Bantams, meanwhile, did well to survive Wrexham in the EFL Cup round 2, but they will have a mountain to climb at One Call Stadium. Given Mansfield’s fine home record, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Mansfield.
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.
