Bradford City vs Bradford PA tips and predictions

Bradford City price just looks too big in Club Friendly clash

As the away side, Bradford PA are a short price but they'll do well to keep Bradford City honest. Don't bank on it. Common sense suggests that when these sides meet they're going to produce some goals.

The hosts usually do their day job at a level above the visitors and the stats look good for them in this match-up. It's very strange to see the big odds against the home team.

Other previews are dismissing the home win, but at the odds offered they could be terrific value.

This Bradford City team might have their backs to the wall in quick time. However, the hosts have looked slick in their last 3 games, winning all of them while the visitors have battled through a run of 3 consecutive losses away from home. It will be a big shock to see Bradford City pull this off but it is legitimately the best play.

Bradford City should expect extended periods of play without possession. If the hosts really fancy their chances it will have a lot to do with their recent goal count. They scored two or more goals in all of their recent 3 matches.

There have been performances where Bradford PA have lost their shape and they have lacked a strong foundation around their 18-yard box. They have conceded three or more goals in 3 of their last 4 matches. Goals seem to be in short supply for them too. The visitors haven't been able to depend on their forwards lately. They've been goalless in 7 of their last 10 matches.

The betting markets imply that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the overwhelming favouritism for Bradford PA. Nevertheless the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the standout from that market. As for the goal line, it's no more than two goals standing out in this one given the latest odds. Obviously all of this depends on how the visitors deal with a quality of football they aren't used to.

The hosts can be pleased with their ability to maintain composure and they'll need to be at their absolute best in order to deny the visitors. They'll look to continue their impressive run of wins with another victory here and while they are up against it, they might just do it.
