Bradford vs Bolton: Bet Builder Tip & Best Predictions

Of these two former Premier League teams, it's Bolton that heads into the deciding leg holding a narrow advantage. Wanderers claimed a 1-0 win in their own backyard, but there is still a long way to go in this League One play-off semi-final.

Nothing could separate these two teams during the regular season, as both league meetings ended in stalemates, but a goal from Amario Cozier-Duberry proved to be one of the few bright sparks in an otherwise tight and tense 90 minutes at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.

Bradford will believe that they can turn this tie around as they finished a point above Bolton during the regular season, winning more games in the process.

We've created a bet builder tip just for this game, along with our best predictions for the 2nd leg in Bradford tonight.

Best Predictions for Bradford vs Bolton

We're expecting another close and competitive encounter between Bradford and Bolton tonight, just as has been the case in each of their three meetings so far this season.

Following back-to-back draws in the league, Bolton pinched a 1-0 win in the 1st leg, a lead that could prove decisive if the teams are to play out another draw this evening.

Amario Cozier-Duberry has shone for Wanderers this season, both scoring and setting up goals on a regular basis. The youngster scored the only goal between the pair during the first leg, and he might well turn out to be the hero tonight as well.

Bradford will be looking to their experienced midfielder and top goalscorer Antoni Sarcevic for inspiration this evening, and we expect him to be firing on all cylinders.

    Player 1+ Fouls - Mason Burstow

    Mason Burstow has committed more fouls than any other Bolton player this season, 51 in 45 appearances. The forward has committed at least one foul in each of his last seven appearances in League One, including the the 1st leg against Bradford.

    Player 1+ Fouls - Curtis Tilt

    Bradford City defender Curtis Tilt has committed the most fouls for his club this season (53). The 34-year-old has committed at least one foul in 12 of his last 15 appearances in the league and the play-offs.

    Player 2+ Shots - Antoni Sarcevic

    Antoni Sarcevic is Bradford's top goalscorer in the league this season with 11 goals. The 34-year-old midfielder is averaging 1.69 shots per 90 minutes this season, and has taken at least two shots in three of his last four appearances, including the 1st leg against Bolton.
