📋 Team News: Bradford City

The Bradford City manager Graham Alexander will be thankful to have no fitness worries at all ahead of this match with a completely healthy group available for selection.

It’s our opinion that The Bantams will probably kick off with a 3-4-3 system for this game, beginning the first half with Daniel Bachmann, Francisco Sierralta, Wesley Hoedt, Ryan Porteous, Ryan Andrews, Edo Kayembe, Ismaël Koné, Jamal Lewis, Yaser Asprilla, Vakoun Issouf Bayo and Emmanuel Dennis.

ℹ️ Team News: Newport County

Thanks to a largely full-strength squad, there is just the sole fitness worry for the Newport County gaffer Graham Coughlan to be concerned about. Josh Seberry (Broken fibula) won’t be in action.

There’s a good chance that The Exiles seem most likely to begin the game with a 3-4-3 lineup with a starting lineup of Anthony Patterson, Aji Alese, Daniel Ballard, Luke O'Nien, Timothée Pembélé, Pierre Ekwah, Bradley Dack, Callum Styles, Chris Rigg, Jobe Bellingham and Jack Clarke.

🔮 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Bradford City should dominate on the ball and be rewarded with decent chances.

However, Newport County may well struggle to get shooting opportunities but do we see them converting at least once here, too.

We’re therefore expecting to see a 3-1 win for Bradford City at full-time.
