The Salford City manager Karl Robinson will be grateful not to have any fitness worries at all ahead of this clash owing to a fully injury-free group to pick from.
In all likelihood, The Ammies will possibly employ a 4-3-3 system in the match with Gavin Bazunu, James Bree, T. Harwood-Bellis, Jack Stephens, Kyle Walker-Peters, Joe Aribo, Flynn Downes, Stuart Armstrong, Ryan Fraser, Che Adams and Adam Armstrong.
๐ฐ Team News: Bradford City
With a fully healthy squad to pick from, the Bradford City manager Graham Alexander doesnโt have any fitness concerns whatsoever before this match.
Weโre of the thinking that The Bantams seem most likely to make use of a 3-4-3 lineup, going with Daniel Bachmann, Mattie Pollock, Wesley Hoedt, Ryan Porteous, Ryan Andrews, Edo Kayembe, Tom Dele-Bashiru, Jamal Lewis, Yaser Asprilla, Vakoun Issouf Bayo and Giorgi Chakvetadze.
โจ Prediction
In our view, Bradford City will need things to go their way to be putting a goal past this Salford City team who we reckon will score at least once to gain the upper hand.
We therefore see a good tussle with a 1-0 advantage for Salford City when the full-time whistle blows.
Hoping for a good game.
