Plymouth vs Bradford Preview
After a shaky start to the season, Plymouth have suffered just one defeat in their last 14 matches and have notched up five consecutive wins. Derek Adams’ side have their eyes firmly set on a playoff place and a win on Saturday could see them move up into 6th if Charlton fail to beat 2nd placed Shrewsbury at The Valley.
Plymouth haven’t failed to score in a game since November and have averaged 2.2 goals per game over their last 5 matches. Although this is essentially a 6-point game, Adams will look to take maximum points and go for the win, taking full advantage of the positive run his side are on.
Adams has no new injury concerns and is expected to name the same starting XI that beat Oxford at the weekend which made it 5 wins in a row for The Pilgrims.
Despite being level on points with Plymouth, Bradford are at the opposite end of the table based on form. Their last win was on New Years Day and have since suffered six consecutive defeats followed by two draws. This poor run of form has seen Simon Grayson’s side drop out of the playoff zone into 8th place. As with Plymouth, a win on Saturday could see them move up to 6th place and back in with a chance of playing in the Championship next season.
Midfielder Nicky Law and forward Alex Jones are doubts for the trip to Home Park while Jake Reeves will be assessed closer to the time to see if he has recovered from a knee injury.

Plymouth vs Bradford Predictions
Both sides will be desperate to take away three points from this match which could see them move up into a playoff place. A win for Bradford would perhaps mean slightly more as it might kick-start their season again after a dreadful start to 2018. However, Plymouth are the in-form team at the moment and should be able to take that confidence into this game to take maximum points. The home side have scored 11 goals in their last 5 home games whereas Bradford have only found the net 3 times in as many games on the road. Plymouth to continue there impressive run looks good value while we expect Bradford to put up a fight and also grab a goal.
