Our 3 Predictions For Bradford City vs Newport County
1st Prediction: Bradford City to win 1.41
2nd Prediction: Over 3.5 goals 2.57
3rd Prediction: Bradford City to win and both teams to score 2.94
1st Prediction For Bradford City vs Newport County: Bradford City To Win 1.41
Although Graham Alexander’s side are sitting below Newport in league table, the Exiles have won just once on the road all season and this was against Morecambe who are currently winless and sit in 23rd place in the fourth tier. Additionally, Bantams talisman Andy Cook has enjoyed playing at home this season with three of his four league goals having come at Valley Parade. Cook’s teammate Tyreik Samuel Wright has also been a major source of creativity this season as he has already made three assists in eight league starts. This, combined with Bradford’s unbeaten home record, spells trouble for the away side.
2nd Prediction For Bradford City vs Newport County: Over 3.5 Goals 2.57
Nelson Jardim has got Newport County playing good attacking football as they are currently the joint fourth highest goalscorers in the league and have created the fifth most big chances. Furthermore, the Welsh-based side have the second worst defence in League Two having conceded 17 goals in just nine league games. Of these nine league games, there have been over 3.5 goals in six of them with a one-nil win against Morecambe, a two-nil loss against Barrow and a two-one win against Crewe being the only games where there were less goals.
3rd Prediction For Bradford City vs Newport County: Bradford City To Win And Both Teams To Score 2.94
Although Graham Alexander’s team only have one win in their last five league games, a return to Valley Parade in front of the Bradford faithful presents a perfect opportunity for the Bantams to turn their form around. Star man Andy Cook should be able to thrive against a notoriously leaky Newport backline and fire the West Yorkshire side to victory. That being said, Newport themselves have a lot of attacking threat which is why Bradford City to win and both teams to score is a great prediction. Veteran midfielder Aaron Wildig has been a revelation so far this season with four goals from eight league appearances, already matching his goalscoring output from last season. Left-back Anthony Driscoll-Glennon has been at his creative best to start the season as he already has three assists in nine league games. Finally, giant striker Kyle Hudlin made his second league start for the Exiles in their last game against Salford and got a goal and an assist which could be the catalyst for a run of good form.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
Despite having been in League Two for the past five seasons, Bradford have always felt like too big a club to be in the fourth tier of English Football. Graham Alexander has been building his project in West Yorkshire for almost a year now, but he has struggled to produce consistent results so far and he will hope that this game against Newport can be a catalyst for change. Nelson Jardim will be happy with certain aspects of his sides’ performance this season and he is still learning the nuances of the management in England. He will be hoping that his side can improve defensively in order to help solidify a place in the playoff positions.
