Bradford vs Marine prediction
League One play-off semi-finalists last season, Bradford City began this season very well but then lost manager Graham Alexander to Preston North End. Now under Michael Duff, The Bantams have stuttered in the last month or so and that continued with a 3-0 defeat at home to Huddersfield Town in a West Yorkshire derby last weekend.
Marine, who famously reached the third round of the FA Cup and faced Tottenham Hotspur back in the 2020-21 campaign, have reached the first round this season with victories against Radcliffe, Warrington Town and Hartlepool United. They are struggling towards the bottom end of the National League North.
Famed for cup upsets when league form remained fairly average, Marine may well have a sense of belief here but Bradford have to remain favourites.
