Koln – Bremen: 4th May 2017

The host team finished the 5th place last season after finishing a year earlier on 5th. So it is the second consecutive year when it will fight for promotion. In the previous attempt, Bradford was eliminated in the semifinals phase by Milwall, which is also in the playoffs this year.

Noteworthy is that Stuart McCall’s footballers are very hard to beat at home. It is the only team in League One that has not been defeated this season. In the 23 Parade Games, Bradford recorded 11 wins and 12 draws.

On the other side, Fleetwood had finished the last championship with just two places over the relegation zone. At the beginning of the season, the club’s management brought the former coach from Leeds Uwe Rosler to the bench. With him at the helm of the team, the group at Highbury Stadium surprised everyone and fought for the 2nd place until the last stage.

Thus, she is present in the playoffs for the first time in the history of the club.
