Football Park's Best Bet: Both Teams To Score at 1.79- Our team of tipsters here at Football Park have predicted goals galore for this one at Valley Parade. With both teams getting on the scoresheet in each of their last five games, the incentive to reach the top of League One should see an end-to-end game with plenty of chances for both sides.
Will Swan (Bradford) Swan has been on fire this season, scoring again last weekend in the defeat to Doncaster. The 24-year-old has spearheaded Bradford's charge up the table in recent weeks and will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet yet again on Saturday.
Ibou Touray (Bradford) On the end of a 3-1 defeat last time out, Touray showed himself to be a real threat down Bradford's left side. The Gambian's energy and dynamism in a real positive performance would have delighted boss Graham Alexander despite the team's shortcomings.
Herbie Kane (Huddersfield) The midfielder has been a real stand-out in Huddersfield's season so far, dictating the pace of games with his range of passing and combative defensive work. Getting on the scoresheet last weekend, Kane will be eager to continue his run of form in this one.
Joe Taylor (Huddersfield) The Terriers' frontman has come to life in recent weeks and finds himself in a real purple patch in front of goal. Scoring in his last three, Taylor will have an appetite for continuing this goal scoring form against Bradford on Saturday.
Referee: Scott Oldham- The Lancashire-based referee impressed Bradford boss Graham Alexander in their EFL Trophy defeat to Birmingham last season.
