Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Tranmere will be aiming to make amends for a 4-1 loss to AFC Wimbledon when they take on Bradford City in the League Two round 11. The Super Whites are eager to escape the relegation zone and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Bantams. Bear in mind, though, that experienced defender Jordan Turnbull is banned for the match following his sending-off in a 4-1 loss to AFC Wimbledon.
Bradford City, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs in the first half of the season, with the team sitting in 14th place in the standings. As the Bantams are desperate to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Walsall, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Last time out Bradford defeated Tranmere 2-1 at Prenton Park.
Highlighted Team (Tranmere):
Based in Birkenhead, Merseyside, Tranmere Rovers are a professional club that compete in the League One. Tranmere were founded back in 1884 under the name of Belmont FC, with the football arms of cricket clubs Lyndhurst Wanderers and Belmont coming together. The club recorded their first win later in 1884 as they outclassed Brunswick Rovers 4-0.
Nowadays Tranmere Rovers play their home games at Prenton Park, the venue which can hold up to 15,567 people. The Rovers wear white shirts and blue shorts in home matches, but back in the 19th century orange and red were the dominating colours on their kit.
Tranmere fans see Bolton Wanderers as the club’s main rivals, but they have built a small rivalry with Chester City and Everton as well. The Prenton Park outfit did well to make it to the League Cup final in the 1993/1994 season, but Aston Villa proved to be a big catch for them in the title game.
