This FA Cup qualifying sees third-division side Bradford City host National League North strugglers Marine at Valley Parade on Saturday. The Bantams have kept clean sheets in seven of their 10 home matches this season, while the visitors have struggled recently, hence our prediction following that trend.
Few League One teams have been as hard to break down as Bradford City. They have kept 13 clean sheets in 19 competitive matches, and that steel has survived the switch from Graham Alexander to Michael Duff, with five shutdowns in the latter's six games in charge.
However, their momentum took a hit at the weekend, as leaders Huddersfield won 3–0 at Valley Parade in a feisty League One derby, with the Bantams' captain Antoni Sarcevic sent off. The result left Duff's side seventh in the third-division standings on 22 points.
Marine have enjoyed a fine cup run, seeing off Radcliffe, Warrington and Hartlepool in the qualifying rounds. Their league campaign is a different story, though. Bobby Grant's side enter this match after a 4–2 defeat at Buxton that left them 18th in the sixth-tier standings.
Life on the road has been a major concern for the Mariners. They have lost five of their seven away league matches, conceding in each, and have drawn a blank in four of their 14 outings in the division. A trip to face a third division side is not likely to be any easier.

Our Bradford City FC vs Marine Prediction
A spirited FA Cup qualifying run has done little to mask Marine's struggles in the English sixth division. They arrive after two straight defeats and have struggled for goals against weaker defenses than the one they will face on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Bradford City will be eager to make fines for their derby setback, and their defensive record should keep the visitors quiet. With three divisions between the sides, we are backing the hosts to progress without conceding. Our Bradford City vs Marine prediction : BTTS: No
