The fourth tier is a notoriously difficult division to climb out of, even with four promotion spots up for grabs. Supporters of both Rovers and the Bantams are well-aware of this, which heartbreak fresh in the minds of both fanbases.
Bradford have been languishing in the EFL’s bottom tier since 2019 and were defeated by Carlisle United in the play-offs in 2023. Doncaster fell at the semi-final stage of the play-offs last season and have now been in League Two for two years.
While both clubs are targeting promotion tilts, they face stern competition. A raft of clubs are heavily fancied to reach League One and it has been a mixed start for both clubs.
Bradford defeated Milton Keynes Dons on the opening day only to be held to a 0-0 draw by Salford City a week later. Doncaster kicked off their campaign in style by cruising past Accrington Stanley, but lost to Newport County in their second fixture.
It is up for debate how much can be learnt from fixture so early on in the season, but predictions start to fly around regardless. Best Plinko Casino have simulated the rest of the League Two season 1,000 times with their supercomputer, developing a prediction for the final League Two table.
