Bradford carry the stronger recent rhythm into Northern Commercials Stadium. Graham Alexander's side have turned the last five matches into four wins and a draw, and the 2.0 goals-per-game return explains why the home price has been backed in from 3.90 to 3.30. Just as important, Bradford have kept concessions down to 0.8 per game over the same run, giving them a solid base in a knockout tie.

Burnley remain favourites, but the market is less convinced than it was earlier. The away price has eased to 2.21 after opening at 1.98, and that drift matches a tougher spell: no wins in five, 1.2 goals scored on average, and 1.8 conceded. Current squad notes list no missing players for either side, so this game may hinge more on execution than availability. That keeps the h2h picture tighter than the initial odds suggested and makes the betting tips less straightforward than usual.

🔮 Prediction

Burnley still look the likelier side to edge a close tie, but Bradford's form should keep this alive deep into the game - Burnley to win, Expected score: 1-2.
