Doncaster vs Bradford prediction

Under the management of former Hull City boss Grant McCann, Doncaster Rovers come into this one on the back of a 2-1 defeat of Everton’s U21 side in the group stages of the EFL Trophy in midweek. They have won four in League One, out of six, and have suffered just one defeat in nine matches across all competitions.

Bradford City, with Graham Alexander at the helm, gained automatic promotion with the last kick of last season and the Bantams have started this season with four victories and two draws in their opening six matches. They most recently defeated Grimsby Town in midweek in the EFL Trophy.

These two sides were expected to go well this year, but not this well. A rivalry developed between the two last season and it should be a fascinating clash for the neutral.

Doncaster vs Bradford tip: Both teams to score
