League One Betting Preview: Bradford vs Rotherham

Fifth-placed Bradford go head-to-head with second-from-bottom Rotherham at The University of Bradford Stadium, with kick-off set for 14:45 on Tuesday 24 February.

There’s a Strong Case for Bantams to Win

Bradford should be able to deliver a return when they go up against Rotherham, with odds of -147 looking really appealing. We think that the Full-Time Result market is the way to play this wager.

Bradford City have enjoyed three straight League One home wins. In their last game, the Bantams lost on the road to AFC Wimbledon 3-1 at The Cherry Red Records Stadium.

Rotherham United have lost in their previous three league outings. In a recent home game at New York Stadium, they were turned over 2-1 by Doncaster Rovers.
