A key game amongst the promotion hopefuls takes place at Valley Parade.
Bradford are at home to Southend, hoping to build on their morale boosting thrashing of Peterborough at the weekend. Maybe they caught Posh at a good time, after their midweek exertions in the FA Cup. Was that a false dawn, or will that spur them on and give them the kick up the arse needed to really make a charge for the play offs?
As for Southend, they lost to Scunthorpe on Saturday, but are still a tough to beat team and are sat just behind Millwall in the play off hunt. With Millwall in action as well, both of these teams will need to hunting for a win, because dropped points coupled with a Lions win would give the latter a nice cushion.
Don't see many goals in this one, can't see Bradford repeating Saturdays efforts and Southend are a stingy team most of the time. No more than 2 goals in this one I think.
Form:
Bradford: W3, D1, L2, F9, A6, Pts 10
Southend: W3, D1, L2, F10, A6, Pts 10
