The Bantams travel to Doncaster Rovers this Monday (19 March 2018) evening for their televised Sky Bet League One fixture at the Keepmoat Stadium.
After the frustration of Wednesday's harsh last-gasp defeat at the hands of Wigan Athletic, Simon Grayson's men will be looking to build on an encouraging display against the Latics by picking up a positive result at Doncaster in front of the Sky Sports cameras.
Following the results of Saturday in League One, Grayson's side find themselves seven points off the play-off spots but with at least two games in hand on teams above them.
Opponents Doncaster are currently placed in seventeeth position in the table, four points off the relegation zone.
Rovers - managed by Darren Ferguson - have drawn three out of their last six matches, losing two of the other recent fixtures.
Doncaster did claim a convincing victory in their previous game on home soil, however, with a 3-0 success over Fleetwood Town.
