Bradford to Win

Reason for tip

Bradford look a level above Reading right now. They’ve lost only once in ten league games, are hunting a third straight victory and have tightened up brilliantly at the back with three clean sheets on the spin. Reading tend to trade goals but lack the consistency Bradford have found. The hosts simply carry more control and confidence. Back Bradford.

Bradford 2-1

Reason for tip

A 2–1 Bradford win makes the most sense. Reading’s matches regularly produce goals at both ends, and Bradford have made a habit of edging games by a single goal, with seven of their nine wins coming that way. The home side’s improved defensive structure should keep Reading manageable, while their own attacking momentum should be enough to tip a tight contest.

Bradford’s momentum makes them the smart side to follow

Bradford are second in League One, 15 places and 12 points above Reading, with nine wins, seven draws and two defeats from their 18 games, while the visitors have won five, drawn seven and lost five.

Bradford are in form, having lost just one of their last ten League One games, and they are going for a third successive win.

The home side look solid in defence this season. Bradford are on a run of three successive clean sheets, their longest run of games without conceding this season, and have kept four clean sheets in their last five League One outings.

Bradford may be able to edge out Reading in a close game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. Eleven of Reading’s 17 League One matches this season have seen both teams score and seven of Bradford’s nine wins have been by a single goal.
