Bradford vs Mansfield Town: TV channel, live stream, latest injury news and all you need to know
Everything you need to know ahead of Mansfield Town’s visit to Valley Parade this evening.
Stags will take on promotion hopefuls Bradford City today as they look to keep this unbeaten league run ticking over. They will make the trip to West Yorkshire following a 2-2 draw against midtable side Barnsley at the weekend.
Nigel Clough’s side have picked up six points from their last four fixtures and will be hoping for a repeat of their impressive win over Bradford last time. Stags stunned the Bantams with a significant 3-0 win, which remains their joint-largest winning scoreline this season. However, despite the impressive result at the One Call Stadium, Clough has acknowledged Bradford’s threat when playing in their own back garden and knows they are ‘very, very strong at home’.
