Bradford v Fleetwood Betting Preview – League One 4th May 7.45pm
Fleetwood’s last minute failure to hold on to third place in the League One Play-Offs may come back to haunt them. They now face a tough tie against Bradford to get through to the play-off final and they head out on the road to face the Bantams on Thursday night. They both took a home win over the other during the regular season and this should be a pretty tight affair across the tie.

Bradford v Fleetwood Betting Tips
The margins between these two in this semi-final tie are going to be tight. Bradford took a home win over Fleetwood during the season and they have won their last two on home soil against hem by a 2-1 scoreline. A Bradford 2-1 correct score at Bet365 returns a price of 8/1 which then should have some kind of appeal. At home in the regular season, they went unbeaten with an impressive W11 D12 L0 so it is hard to imagine that they are going to crumble in this one. The Bantams powered their way to the end of the season with a W4 D1 L1 record on the board in their last six home and away. They are currently running on a five-match winning streak on home soil as well right now, conceding just the one goal in that sequence. But Fleetwood are a threat and both teams to score at Bet365 is a quote of 21/20. The Bantams hold an overall record of W4 D3 L1 from their eight previous games against Fleetwood and that could be telling.
Fleetwood finished three points above the Bantams in the league table, with just the two extra goals scored over Bradford (both having conceded 43 for the season). So again, tight margins in this one and they took a home win in their fixture against Bradford earlier in the season. This is pressure though for them starting this tie out on the road and in the regular season, Fleetwood went W11 D5 L7 out on the road. They are actually in great away form because they have lost just one of their last fourteen away games (in early April at Oldham) and have won three of their last four away from home. David Ball is a 12/5 bet365 anytime goalscorer option for them, with Charlie Wyke and Billy Clarke as 6/4 joint-favourites for the home side to net. So everything really points to a close game but backing a Bradford 1 goal winning margin at bet365 at 5/2 looks value, just going based on the home form of the Bantams.
