Match Preview | Bradford visit the OLP this Sunday!
05/09/2024
It’s a top six clash in the Betfred Championship this coming Sunday as the Bradford Bulls visit the Sheffield Eagles at Olympic Legacy Park (3pm).
Sunday’s game will see the club utilise the day as our Heritage Day after the club celebrated its 40th Anniversary on Monday.
The Eagles return to the steel city for our penultimate home game of the 2024 campaign as we look to return to winning ways having fallen to defeat to Toulouse Olympique (32-12) last weekend.
Eamon O’Carroll’s Bradford Bulls side moved up to third with a 54-0 victory over Dewsbury Rams last Friday evening, and they’ll be looking to make it a third successive win in a row.
Both sides went head-to-head earlier this season back in May, with the Bulls running out as 28-10 winners in the reverse fixture at Bartercard Odsal Stadium.
