The FA Cup match between Bradford City and Wycombe will take place at Northern Commercials Stadium on Saturday at 8:30 pm IST.
In an eventful weekend of FA Cup first-round matches, Bradford City is set to face League One team Wycombe Wanderers at the University of Bradford Stadium on Saturday. This match marks their first meeting since 2018, and the victors will advance to the second round, hoping to break a streak of being eliminated in the first round in the previous two seasons.
After Mark Hughes’s dismissal, Bradford City has taken its time appointing Mark Trueman as the second caretaker manager in just 28 days. Kevin McDonald, who served as caretaker-player manager, recently secured an EFL Trophy win but will now focus solely on playing. Despite the morale boost, calls for a permanent appointment persist following a late loss to bottom-ranked Sutton, dropping the team to 16th place in League Two. They’ve gone three league games without a win, with back-to-back losses. Offensively, the team has struggled this season, scoring only 17 goals in 16 league games, ranking third-lowest in League Two, ahead of only Gillingham and Harrogate Town.
While their opponents grapple with managerial uncertainties, Matt Bloomfield recently extended his contract with Wycombe Wanderers. Following Gareth Ainsworth’s departure to Queens Park Rangers in February, Bloomfield has taken the reins. Last week, the Chairboys played to a lackluster 0-0 draw against Cambridge United, placing them 10th with 22 points in 15 matches. They’ve gone four league games without a win, including three draws and a 2-0 loss to Bolton Wanderers. Wycombe’s defense, ranking third-worst in the league, has conceded 23 goals. Despite this, they aim to secure a win against a lower-league opponent, hoping to carry that momentum into a challenging match against Stevenage next weekend.
Bradford City probable starting lineup: Lewis, Halliday, Platt, Stubbs, Ridehalgh, Gilliead, Smallwood, Pointon, Walker, Osadebe, Cook
Wycombe Wanderers probable starting lineup: Stryjek, Leahy, Keogh, Low, McCleary, Potts, Phillips, Boyes, Taylor, Vokes, Hanlan
