Bradford (Home)
- Bradford are on a three-game winning streak.
- Bradford City are on a roll and will be looking to continue it when they take on Burnley in the EFL Cup on Wednesday.
- Back-to-back 2-0 home wins, over Rochdale in the EFL Cup and Peterborough United in League One, have put them in a good position to pull the upset against the Clarets.
- Bradford are averaging 1.29 goals per game at home across all competitions and their home turf has been a decent platform for them with three wins, two draws and two defeats in seven.
Burnley (Away)
- Burnley are unbeaten in their last two games but both were draws and they are still seeking a rhythm.
- Nicky Hayen's team have been patchy in all competitions this season, with one win, four draws and five defeats in their last ten games.
- Their two most recent outings were a 1-1 draw with Notts County in the EFL Cup followed by a 2-2 draw at home to West Ham in the Championship, so they arrive unbeaten in two but still seeking a groove.
- Burnley are playing a more patient and structured game with a base of either 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 and will look to control the ball and pick their moments to press.
- Burnley's road record has been poor with no wins, no draws and four defeats in their four trips so far.
Betting Insights
- The visitors are slight favorites at 2.18, but Bradford's 3.15 is hardly shabby and it looks more like a real cup match than a walkover for the higher-level club.
- Burnley's road record has been poor with no wins, no draws and four defeats in their four trips so far, so the draw at 3.4 looks very live in this spot.
- Under 2.5 goals at 1.8 feels the sharper angle as this is likely to be a close and cagey matchup rather than a goalfest.
Prediction
But with Burnley looking blunt and Bradford on a hot streak, the hosts can pinch this so we're taking the home team to win in the double chance line.
