Doncaster vs Bradford City prediction 11.11.2025 | EFL Trophy

The 2025/26 season is challenging for Doncaster as they returned to League One and could have big problems avoiding a relegation dogfight. After 15 league rounds, they have only three points more than the drop zone. Doncaster have had much more success in the EFL Trophy this season, having already qualified for the knockout phase.

Doncaster haven't played well lately, winning only one of their last five matches across all competitions. In the most recent outing, Doncaster lost 2-1 at home against Barnsley. The home side were much better as they ended with xG of 1.74, while the guests had 0.44, but Doncaster still remained empty-handed.

Doncaster's head coach, Grant McCann, was frustrated by the defeat but pleased with the number of goal-scoring opportunities created. He said, "If we can continue that sort of play and how we're creating opportunities, then we'll have no issues climbing up this league."

Doncaster should have a full squad for the upcoming clash against Bradford City.

Like Doncaster, Bradford City also returned to League One this season, but they are much more successful and shouldn't worry about possible relegation. After 15 rounds, Bradford City are in excellent second position in the standings and are only one point behind Stockport. However, Graham Alexander's team has struggled lately, having not won in their previous five games. In the last match, Bradford City lost 2-1 at home against Burton. The home side had better goal-scoring chances throughout the game, but their defense let them down that day.

Bradford City's head coach, Graham Alexander, was disappointed with his team's performance on Saturday against Burton. He said, "We didn't do enough to win the game. In the first half, we didn't put pressure on our opponents; we put it on ourselves. We got lulled into playing a lot of balls across our backline."

Antoni Sarcevic, Aiden Baldwin, and Curtis Tilt are injured and will not play on Tuesday night in Bradford.
