Bradford City host their first game in League One since 2019, with last season's play-off semi-finalists Wycombe Wanderers the visitors.

Bradford are favourites for this one with home advantage priced at 2.45, whilst Wycombe can be backed at 2.88. I think Wycombe should be the favourites for this game.

The bookies have this as a tight game, with under 2.5 goals the strong favourite at 1.6, whilst over 2.5 is 2.2.

🟠 The Future is Bright for Bantams

It’s always good to see a club of Bradford City’s size on an upward trajectory. 

Graham Alexander is a steady manager in tiers 3 and 4. He’s done a good job at most clubs he’s been in charge of. The Bantams also have David Sharpe overseeing football operations, someone I know well from his time at my club, Mansfield, a respected operator in the game. He even picked up George Lapslie and Will Swan, who signed during his time at The Stags. 

On the pitch, I think Bradford will be in for a tough season, involved in a relegation battle for the most part, but should have enough to stay up.

🔵 Dodds Needs a Good Start

After failing to impress after taking the reins last term, Mike Dodds is under pressure to hit the ground running with Wycombe this season.

He has had the chance to put his imprint on this side over the summer, something he consciously chose not to do after taking over from Matt Bloomfield.

As touched upon, Kone is currently still with the club, to complement other attacking options such as Daniel Udoh and Junior Quitirna. I expect there’ll be a more possession-heavy side this season.

📊 Bradford v Wycombe H2H

These two sides have not met in the league since 2019.

They have faced off in cup competitions in 2023 and 2024, with The Chairboys emerging victorious on both occasions.
