There's a huge match in League One this afternoon as two promotion contenders clash at the Lamex Stadium. Stevenage host Bradford City in a six-pointer, with both Boro and the Bantams knowing a win here could be enough to take them back to the top of the table. What will our prediction for the match select as the best bet to back?
Both teams have enjoyed spells at the top of the League One table this season. Stevenage were top most recently but slipped up last week to drop down to second with 25 points from 11 games so far. Bradford are just one place below their opponents in third also with 25 points but from 12 games played.
The fixture pits the highest scoring attack in League One (Bradford -23 goals scored) against the meanest defense (Stevenage - 9 goals conceded).
Stevenage beat Luton 2-0 to kick off October, before a 2-1 win over the Football League Trophy over Bromley also at home. Last weekend saw them suffer a rare defeat as they went down 1-0 away to Lincoln City, but they bounced back in the Football League Trophy in midweek with a 5-2 thrashing of Crystal Palace U21's.
Bradford City began October with a 2-2 draw away to Yorkshire rivals Rotherham United. They then defeated Everton U21s 5-1 in the Football League Trophy before their league game last weekend which saw another 2-2 draw, this time at home to Barnsley.

Our Stevenage vs Bradford City FC Prediction
Our prediction for the Stevenage vs. Bradford City League One match is: BTTS.
Picking a winner for this game is a tricky task. Stevenage have a perfect home record, but Bradford have a very good away record against top six teams in League One (beating Cardiff and Stockport). The Bantams are the top scorers in the division and have scored in all bar one of their away fixtures. Picking a winner is tough, but it does seem likely both teams should find the net in what will be a close game.
