Is Barnsley FC v Bradford City on TV? Channel and streaming details for Yorkshire derby in League One
The key TV and streaming details for Barnsley’s Yorkshire derby battle with Bradford City
Barnsley are set to play host to Bradford City for a League One Yorkshire derby.
It is far to say the clubs have had very different trajectories of late, with the Bantams having risen during a period of stagnation and decline for the Reds.
With the end of the League One season in sight, Barnsley are languishing in 12th while Bradford are flying high in fourth.
Automatic promotion looks to be beyond the latter, although they cannot afford to rest on their laurels given a top-six finish is not guaranteed.
For Barnsley, the run-in is about restoring pride and ensuring they do not get pulled towards the relegation zone. Conor Hourihane’s men will be hoping to take advantage of Bradford’s struggles on the road, which have plagued them for large portions of the season.
Bantams boss Graham Alexander said: “Away from home, there's still little details that can go against you that we have to fix, but I think our performances have been reasonably sound up to a certain point.
“I think the players understand that there's certain different little aspects that change from Valley Parade to an away fixture. I think we have the mental and technical tools to be able to actually make them happen in our favour.”
