Sheffield Wed vs Bradford CityPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Hillsborough stages the second round of League One fixtures with Sheffield Wednesday and Bradford both on maximum points after the opening weekend. The hosts won 2-1 away, Bradford won 2-0 at home: three points apiece, sixth place for the former and third for the latter in a standing that says very little after one outing. The English third tier is running at 3.17 goals per game so far, yet the two opening fixtures involving tonight's clubs produced three and two goals respectively. Sheffield Wednesday have not played at home yet, Bradford have not left their own ground: neither carries any evidence about how it copes with the other setting. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
