Venue: Valley Parade
Competition: League One
Kick-Off: Tuesday 28th October 2025, 19:45 (UK)


🔍 Match Preview

Two promotion hopefuls meet at Valley Parade on Tuesday night as Bradford City host Lincoln City in a key clash near the top of the League One table.

Bradford currently sit 3rd in the standings, level on points with leaders Cardiff City and Stevenage, while holding a narrow two-point cushion over their visitors. The Bantams are in fine form, coming into this fixture unbeaten in five matches across all competitions.

That run includes a 1-0 home win against Blackpool in the league and a 5-1 EFL Trophy thrashing of Everton U21s. At Valley Parade, they’ve been almost unstoppable — winning five of their six home games so far this season. Graham Alexander’s side are full of confidence and have built a strong defensive record on home soil.

Lincoln City, meanwhile, have been a little inconsistent in recent weeks. The Imps fell to a 1-0 defeat at Leyton Orientlast time out, ending a promising run that included victories over Peterborough (3-0) and Stevenage (1-0) in the league, as well as a 3-0 win over Manchester United U21s in the EFL Trophy.

Michael Skubala’s men remain a threat going forward, but their away form has been patchy, and they’ll need a big performance to take points off one of League One’s most in-form sides.

Bradford City v Lincoln City Prediction

Bradford City are one of the most consistent sides in League One right now and have turned Valley Parade into a fortress. Lincoln’s inconsistency and struggles away from home could prove costly again here.

With superior form and attacking momentum, the Bantams should have enough to claim another valuable three points in front of their home supporters.

Conclusion

Bradford City have been clinical at home and look a strong pick to continue their promotion push here. Lincoln can make it competitive, but the hosts’ form and firepower should see them over the line.
