Fleetwood v Bradford Betting Tips
Well, this tie is pretty wide open still you would feel. Fleetwood have to overturn a 1-0 defeat on home soil on the weekend, so they aren’t dead and buried yet. Fleetwood finished three points above Bradford in the final league standings this season and produced a great record of W12 D8 L3 on home soil in the regular season. They did bank a 2-1 home win over Bradford back in February and they have suffered only the one defeat in their last four at home against the Bantams (W1 D2 L1). Under 2.5 goals at Sky Bet for the second leg is a quote of 7/10 which should have some appeal. The 1-1 draw in the Sky Bet correct score market is an 11/2 price, with a 1-0 win for either bringing in a price of 7/1. Fleetwood have won just one of their last five home games though (D2 L2) which may throw a bit of favouritism towards the Bantams to kill the tie off.
In the anytime goalscorer market, David Ball and Charlie Wyke sit as 13/8 joint-favourites. Will the Bantams be able to build on their advantage or at least just hang on to it? They are in pretty strong form because they have only lost two of their last twenty games now for the season in the league (including the first leg of the play-off semi final). They have picked up just the one win in their last five away games though in a D2 L2 record which stacks up equally against what Fleetwood have done at home in their last five games. Both teams to score at Sky Bet is a price of 8/11 and Bradford have netted in each of their last four games at Fleetwood. The Bantams are now a 2/7 odds-on price to qualify for the play-off final, with Fleetwood out at a big 11/4 price, but they can’t be written off yet.
