"Last seen making an immediate return to winning ways as they clinched a 2-1 victory away at Blackpool, Graham Alexander's men have rightfully received a string of plaudits from up and down the country. Signing off 2025 with a gritty 1-0 win at home against Port Vale, the Yorkshire-based outfit have won three of their previous four League One appearances."
"As for the visitors, while Bradford might be enjoying a real League One flurry, Rotherham find themselves at the heart of a real third-tier crisis. Last seen getting the New Year underway with a toothless 2-0 loss at home against Peterborough, the Millers have rightfully come under serious scrutiny. Opening Saturday's trip across Yorkshire sat in the drop zone, Matt Hamshaw's men look set for what is another stern examination this weekend."
Bradford have made a strong return to League One, winning three of their last four league matches and sitting third, two points shy of the automatic promotion places. The Bantams claimed a 2-1 victory at Blackpool and a 1-0 home win over Port Vale, and have won four consecutive home matches at Valley Parade by an aggregate 6-1. Manager Graham Alexander has the mood at Valley Parade at a red-hot high ahead of the local derby. Rotherham are in crisis, occupying a relegation position after six straight league defeats, including a 4-0 loss to Blackpool and a 2-0 home defeat to Peterborough.
