Team News

Bradford
Newport
  • The Bantams are likely to be without the services of Kevin McDonald, Alex Pattison, Sam Stubbs and Ash Taylor.
  • Jamie Walker will again be available for Bradford after serving his suspension, but it remains to be seen whether Alexander will tamper with a winning team to accommodate him.
  • Newport welcomed back Omar Bogle at the weekend as a second half substitute.
  • Scot Bennett was brought back into the Newport team during their 1-0 loss against Salford City after overcoming a knock, while Matthew Bondswell was also put into the starting lineup as a tactical change.

Prediction

  • Unbeaten in their last six games and winning five of them have given Bradford an unlikely chance to gate crash the League Two playoffs on the final day. The Bantams were mid-table heading into April but have given themselves a lifeline on the final day. They require Barrow to draw and Crawley to lose and for them to win to take the last playoff spot.
  • Newport head into the game with their season over and they will be planning for life in League Two next season.
  • Bradford have won three of their four home games against Newport and kept a clean sheet in the three victories.
