There are two of the current top six facing off in League One this weekend as fifth-placed Doncaster Rovers host third-place Bradford City. Both Rovers and The Bantams came up automatically last season from League Two and have made a fast start to life in the division above, much to the delight of their respective fans and managers. What will our prediction be for this match between two of the more in-form teams in League One at present?
Currently, both teams are riding high in the table, with Bradford just two points off the top of the table in third with 14 points from their six games. The Bantams are one of two unbeaten teams in the division (the other being leaders Cardiff City). Their hosts Doncaster are a point further back and two places behind Bradford at present sitting on 13 points in fifth spot in the table. Rovers are unbeaten at home this season.
Doncaster come into this fixture on the back of four straight victories. That includes a 1-0 win away to Port Vale in the league, a 2-0 win at Accrington Stanley in the EFL Cup, a 1-0 win over Doncaster in the league last weekend and in midweek, a 2-1 win over Everton U21 in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
Equally, Bradford are in great form winning all their last three games including a 3-0 win at Stoke in the EFL Cup, a 3-2 win over AFC Wimbledon last weekend and a 2-1 win over Grimsby in midweek in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.

Our Doncaster vs Bradford City FC Prediction
Our prediction for the Doncaster Rovers vs. Bradford City League One match is: Both Teams to Score - Yes.
Both these teams are very much in form, both were promoted last season, look confident and come into this game on the back of midweek victories in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. Bradford are unbeaten, but Doncaster have lost just the one game and that was away from home. Doncaster have scored in every home game this season and Bradford in all but one of their away games, and as such backing both to score here is a good choice.
