Bradford City v Mansfield Town
Football : England: League One
Venue: Valley Parade
Tuesday 17th March 2026, 1945hrs (GMT)

---

Despite being handed a disappointing 2-0 loss away from home at Wigan Athletic on the weekend in League One, Bradford City still remain handily placed in the play-off pack in the third tier table, sitting in 4th place ahead of these midweek fixtures.

Bradford City have picked up five wins within their last eight games though in League One as The Bantams have further strengthened their case for a top six finish, four of these victories being gained on home soil at Valley Parade with important wins against the likes of Peterborough United, Stockport County, Rotherham United and Leyton Orient respectively.

Results and form at Valley Parade have also been impressive as The Bantams possess a very solid home record which stands at 14-2-2 28/13 so far this season and the upcoming visit by lower half occupants Mansfield Town should pose few problems for Graham Alexander’s side.

Mansfield Town were once again involved in another stalemate in League One on the weekend as Nigel Clough’s side were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Barnsley, making it just one league win from their last 11 attempts.

Within these previous 11 games, Mansfield Town have been involved in no fewer than seven draws while also slipping to recent defeats at the hands of Peterborough United, Blackpool and Lincoln City.

The visitors also possess an ordinary looking record away from home of 4-6-6 15/19 which includes failing to win any of their last four outings on the road.

The Betting Verdict

Bradford City with home advantage should be able to get over the line here on Tuesday night.
