Rotherham United host Bradford City in an all-Yorkshire League One clash on Thursday night. The Millers have struggled for form of late in sharp contrast to the Bantams who sit proudly at the top of the current League One table. Will our prediction back an expected win for the visitors, or can the home team win a third match of the season?
After an opening day victory, Rotherham have won just one of their next eight league games, losing six. A run which sees Matt Hamshaw's team struggling in 22nd place in the table. In contrast, Bradford have won seven of their ten games, losing just the once and with 23 points, Graham Alexander's team sit a point clear of Stevenage at the top of the table.
It's been a tough run of results recently for Rotherham. They have lost all their last three league games including a 2-1 loss away to AFC Wimbledon and then a 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Stockport County. Last weekend, they were on the wrong end of another defeat, losing 2-1 at Mansfield Town.
Bradford defeated Cardiff City 3-1 on the road to move top of the table, but in the following midweek, they went down to a 4-1 defeat away to Premier League Newcastle in the League Cup. However, they returned to winning ways last weekend earning a 1-0 home win over Blackpool.

Our Rotherham vs Bradford City FC Prediction
Our prediction for the Rotherham United vs. Bradford City League One match is: Bradford City wins the match.
Rotherham's run of three successive defeats is far from ideal heading into this game. They lost their last home game, as well as two more on the road, and face a Bradford City team bang in form. It may be a lot closer than many are expecting here, but the data strongly suggests Bradford have all they need to secure another big win on the road here.
