Player to watch – Aaron Wildig (Newport County)

With 4 goals in 8 games played, Aaron Wildig is the star man for Newport County at the moment. He is exceptional at making the opposition’s keeper work once he finds an opening, as confirmed by his 50% rate of shots on target. Of course, Bradford City will be fully aware of the threat that Wildig poses.

Therefore, we expect the Bantams to try and smother Wildig if he gets the ball in any kind of space.
