Big game between 2 promotions chasers with huge implications on the table and promotion race.
Bradford were just in sight of a top 6 spot before they threw a wobbler, picking up 1 point from their last 2 and slipping back down the table. If they are serious about promotion, this is the kind of game they need to win to make a statement.
As for Burton, they've just kept winning and are 9 points clear of the teams in 3rd place. A win here would give them a commanding advantage and take them over the 70 point mark. A win here would be huge for them.
Hard to know what will happen here. Bradford are a good side on their day, but are very prone to throwing a wobbler. Burton can grind out a 1-0 win with the best of them, but can also stutter, as their results away at Southend and Crewe prove. Think this one has got 0-0 written all over it.
