Bradford have been the more prolific side in front of goal recently, but Bradford boast the stronger defensive record. The contrasting styles could make for a fascinating tactical battle.

This is a closely contested fixture, with the data suggesting a draw (27%) is the most likely outcome. The predicted scoreline of 2-1 reflects the evenly matched nature of the contest.
