Bradford City  Position: 12th (Div 1)

Walsall Man to Watch: Junior, all eyes on him after a mixed game Tuesday.

Bradford City  Man to Watch: Ashley Ward, Scorer of great goals against us.

The Verdict:  Bradford suffered a minor shock in the week, losing to Wrexham in the league cup. Colin Lee was less than impressed with Walsall's victory against Shrewsbury. So both sides have something to prove. The Bantams league form is good, considering the behind the scenes problems at Valley Parade. A low score draw is on the cards.

PREDICTION: Walsall 1-1 Bradford City.
