What to expect

We expect about 1.6 goals from Bradford and 1.0 from Peterboro, so Bradford come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.7 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Bradford come into this on three straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Bradford to win. Bradford are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.6-1.0), and we make them about 58% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.

We put the chance of that landing at about 56 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.86, which works out at about 54 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.
