L2 - Football - England - League 2

Bradford is one of the strongest competitors for promotion, they failed to win against Exeter, but against another troubled team and at home shouldn't fail the three points.

Oldham under transfer embargo suffered also covid crisis with five players out in first match, Against Newport various new arrives as keeper Leutwiler, def. McGahey and Hope ( 5g with Swindon) and last season starters Bahamboula and Dearnley ( 6g each other) and key def. Fage were not called, so some of these could be out cause covid.

In midweek league cup match only Bahamboula and Fage played part of the match, probable players with covid remain out or are not completely fit, more, now trainer Curle covid-positive, too, so on bench will be the assistant.

Some key player as def. Jackson and topscorer McAleny gone, a rooster built practically under embargo restrictions, various players out or questionable in fitness for guests, make Bradford more favourite then odds say.

Hosts'trainer declares they are in full fitness and last season key midf. Sutton is only doubt among the player that drawn against Exeter.

Bradford played midweek cup with various starters of first round and loose, but the opponent was Nottingham Forest, so no surprise for this.
