Both Teams To Score

Reason for tip

Bradford City and Peterborough United both arrive with shaky defences and confident attacks. Bradford have failed to keep a clean sheet in eight of their last ten, while Peterborough are four games without a shutout. The visitors have scored at least twice in seven of their last nine and 17 of Bradford’s 29 league matches have seen both teams net. Everything points towards goals at both ends.

Goals expected at Valley Parade

Both teams have scored in a number of Peterborough’s latest outings and that looks the best bet when they visit Bradford at Valley Parade on Saturday. The visitors have found the net at least twice in seven of their last nine League One games.

Sixth-placed Bradford are two places above Peterborough in the table, with the two sides separated by five points. The hosts have won 14, drawn seven and lost eight of their 29 games this season, while the visitors have won 14, drawn two and lost 15.

Bradford are unbeaten in seven of their last eight League One meetings with these opponents, but they have lost five of their last seven league matches. Peterborough are going for a third successive win and have won five of their last seven away games.

Peterborough won 2-1 away at Mansfield in their last League One game, with Jimmy-Jay Morgan scoring the opening goal on 54 minutes and Harry Leonard also finding the net. The result maintained their run of matches with both teams scoring, and those who backed them at 15/8 were delighted.

Both teams have been struggling defensively of late, with Bradford failing to keep a clean sheet in eight of their last ten League One games and Peterborough going four games without a shutout.

The goals are flowing for Peterborough, who have scored an average of 1.50 goals a game in their four League One away games against teams in the top six this season. Just three League One sides have scored more than the 45 goals they have racked up overall.

Both sides scoring has been a feature of Bradford’s games this season. 17 of their 29 matches in the league have seen both teams score.

With 17 of Bradford’s 29 League One matches this season going over 2.5 goals, the 2-1 away win for Peterborough looks a decent correct-score bet. They were 2-1 winners against Mansfield in their last league game and Bradford have been on the wrong end of a 2-1 defeat four times this season.
