Team News: Chesterfield
Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just one fitness concern for the Chesterfield gaffer Paul Cook to be concerned about from an otherwise complete squad. John Fleck (Shin injury) will miss out.
🗞️
Team News: Bradford City
Bradford City boss Graham Alexander has to choose a team with limited availability. Ciaran Kelly (Ankle injury) and Andy Cook (Cruciate ligament injury) are those who can’t be considered.
💡
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.
