Bradford City vs Fleetwood
England – League 1
Date: Saturday, 9 February 2019
Kick-off at 15:00 UK/ 16:00 CET
Venue: Valley Parade (Bradford).
Bradford City are blowing hot and cold in recent weeks as they dropped points in 4 of their last 5 games. The bad patch started off with back-to-back heavy defeats at the start of January, however, they managed to pull things back a bit with a couple of draws and a win from the latest three.
Fleetwood are in the relegation zone and they are an improved side since January. Last week saw them bagging a priceless home win against Charlton and registered the second win in space of three games. It is fair to say that the visitors have done in recent games as they were beaten just once in last 5.
Four points is evitable for both sides as Bradford as pushing for a spot in the promotion zone and Fleetwood desperate to move out of relegation waters.
For the above reason, this could have been an intriguing battle, however the form guide suggest Bradford City will walk into Valley Parade as clear favourites.
We have no reason to think otherwise since David Hopkin’s men won 5 of their last 6 games at home with four of them falling into -1.5 handicap. Meantime, Fleetwood are coming here on the back of a solitary win from their last 5 away games.
Despite their failure to win matches on the road, Joey Barton’s men were pretty consistent in scoring goals. Combine this with the attacking prowess of the hosts, we are certain to see both teams netting in this game.
