📋 Team News: Chesterfield
There’s just a single fitness concern for the Chesterfield boss Paul Cook to be concerned with due to a largely intact squad. John Fleck (Shin injury) is out of contention.
📋 Team News: Bradford City
Bradford City manager Graham Alexander has to currently contend with reduced team options. Ciaran Kelly (Ankle injury) and Andy Cook (Cruciate ligament injury) are not able to play.
💡 Prediction
It seems to us that Bradford City and Chesterfield could well end up finding themselves level here, with both teams capable of netting.
A draw is a real possibility, as we are expecting there to be little between them. We therefore see a very close game with a 1-1 score draw at the end of the 90.
