League One and League Two play-offs: Bantams among those backed for weekend wins

Netting in both of his previous two appearances going into this game and a 50 per cent scoring rate against the Tykes, Bradshaw is a terrific 13/8 anytime chance to net here.

The hosting Tykes have their own in-form attackers, with 20-goal frontman Sam Winnall chief among them. He is a 4/1 shot to score first.

Supporting players Conor Hourihane is an anytime alternative at 13/5, while Manchester United academy product Ashley Fletcher is a tasty 2/1 in that market.

Coleman’s crew in superb form

Although Wimbledon took four points off Accrington in their two league games, the Lancashire outfit are on an unbeaten run of 12 games. It is well worth siding with Stanley, then, to win at 2/1.

Neal Ardley’s men have the worst defensive record and poorest attack of the League Two play-off candidates, yet are 7/5 chances for a home win. A draw, meanwhile, is 23/10, but a repeat of the 0-0 from March just doesn’t look on the cards at 17/2.

Rangers-bound Josh Windass is in fantastic form for Accrington, with four in his last five, and is a terrific 2/1 to strike again anytime. Leading marksman Billy Kee is slightly shorter at 19/10. Lyle Taylor leads the Wimbledon threat, but is 13/10 in the same market.

Bradford City v Millwall

All signs point to Bantams victory

Bradford have won seven of their last nine to nil, and are unbeaten against the Lions this term and last. Phil Parkinson’s team are 6/4 favourites to establish a lead to take down to The Den and 11/2 to repeat their 1-0 victory from six weeks ago.

Millwall go to West Yorkshire as 2/1 outsiders, and the tie to be level is reckoned even less likely at 21/10. The 33-goal partnership of Lee Gregory (19/10 anytime) and Steve Morison (21/10) is one thing in the Londoners’ favour, but they are yet to breach the Bantams defence.

James Hanson is the man for the big occasion in Bradford colours, and he’s 11/5 to poach another here. A terrific 31/20 price is available on a Bantams clean sheet, and that could be the best bet of them all this weekend.
