Bradford vs Salford City Predictions

• Bradford won just one of their last 12 games within 90 minutes.
• Salford picked up 70% of their away points across their last four league trips.
• Salford lost just one of their last five competitive away games.

More is needed from boring Bradford

While Bradford City look safe in this division, a league-high return of 11 draws (48% of league games) is not what the paying fans really want to witness. Over half of those drawn league games ended with a 1-1 scoreline, so we could be in for yet another snooze-fest if that is to continue here.

The spoils could be set to go home with one of these sides here if Bradford boss Derek Adams’ personal record against both Salford (W1, L3) and their manager, Gary Bowyer (W1, D1, L4) are anything to go by.

Adams’ failure to win in seven of the combined nine games across the aforementioned runs raises doubt over the Bantams’ winning prospects here and raises questions over the great price available for a Salford success.

More improvement for Salford?

While the visitors sat four points adrift of the play-off places ahead of the weekend, a run of four unbeaten games from their last five league games has instilled a sense of belief amongst fans that they can get themselves involved.

Considering both Salford’s superior form, cracking price, and Bradford’s tendency to draw games, I predict a double chance on the away side both provides great value and a brilliant chance of winning. However, this will likely be a low-scoring affair – I am going for a hard-fought 2-0 Salford win.
