Bradford City FC will welcome Colchester United to the University of Bradford Stadium on matchday 38 in League Two. Bradford are second in the league standings, while Colchester are seventh, the last spot for a promotion play-off. Here's our match prediction.
Bradford City FC have nine games left to navigate in League Two before the season reaches its final chapter. They find themselves occupying the last automatic promotion spot in the table and have maintained a three-point cushion over two teams below them.
The Bantam's were victims of a 1-0 home league defeat against Tranmere over the weekend. This marked their second consecutive defeat by the same scoreline.
The Northern Commercials Stadium was their stronghold before their recent loss to Tranmere. They were on a ten-match winning streak with seven clean sheets recorded.
Although Colchester United are still searching for their first away win in this fixture since March 2016 shouldn't demotivate them from picking up a favorable outcome in this one.
The U's head into this match riding a five-match winning streak in League Two. Notably, they are unbeaten in 13 games with nine wins and four draws.
Away from home, they are unbeaten in seven games recording four wins and three draws. It has to be pointed out that they are currently on a two-match winning streak heading into this clash.
