Table-topping Bradford City host Blackpool in an important League One clash on Saturday in a match which has major implications at the top and bottom of the table. The home team, Bantams, are flying high at the top of the table, whereas the Seasiders languish near the foot of the table. What will our prediction be for this key game?
Since earning promotion last season, Bradford City have continued their winning ways under manager Graham Alexander. Nine games in, they lead the table with 20 points having lost just once all season and with a perfect home record. In contrast, Blackpool boss Steve Bruce has seen his team struggle, taking seven points from eight games to lie 22nd.
Heading into this game, Bradford had won their previous two league games. They defeated local rivals Huddersfield Town 3-1 at their Valley Parade home and then followed that with a sensational 3-1 away win over former table-toppers Cardiff City last weekend.
They were in action in the EFL Cup in midweek too, but lost 4-1 away to Premier League Newcastle United.
Blackpool come into this game after having lost 1-0 away to Northampton in the league, before a 5-0 win over Barrow in the Football League Trophy. Then last weekend, the Seasiders earned a valuable 1-0 home win over Barnsley.

Our Bradford City FC vs Blackpool Prediction
Our prediction for the Bradford City vs. Blackpool League One match is: Bradford City wins the match.
These two famous teams have endured very different starts to their league seasons. For the home team, it has been an almost perfect start. For the visitors, it has been a nightmarish beginning for Steve Bruce's team. A 100% home winning record against a 100% away losing record tends to go only one way. Hence the smart prediction to follow here is to back Bradford to win the game.
