Bradford City vs Walsall Prediction & Betting Tips

📊 Form Guide

Bradford City

LDWDLW ⚖

Bradford City are hoping to win again following a 1-3 League Two success over Mansfield Town.

For Bradford City, the scorers were Connor Wood (14') and Clayton Donaldson (69'). Marek Štěch (8' Own goal) and Andy Cook (85') scored for Mansfield Town.

It’s been a rare occasion in recent games where Bradford City have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that The Bantams have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 11 goals on the way.

Walsall

DDDDWD 📈

Last time out, Walsall drew 0-0 in the League Two tie with Exeter City.

Walsall have been good when going forward in the lead-up to this encounter, having scored 7 times in their previous 6 matches. Having said that, The Saddlers have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 5 of those same outings. That kind of trend isn’t assured to follow through into this match, though.

Their previous form shows that Walsall:

• have not emerged victorious against Bradford City in games played away from home for the previous 5 league matches. They'll be keen to stop this run.
• have not been beaten in their last 4 away league matches.
• are without a win away from home in their last 3 league games.

↔️ Head to head

Checking on their most recent head to head clashes going back to 01/04/2017 shows that Bradford City have won 3 of these and Walsall 1, with the number of drawn games standing at 2.

💡 Prediction

We’re of the view that Walsall and Bradford City may well end up cancelling each other out here.

A close call, and we think a draw is quite likely. That is why we are leaning toward a very close game with a score draw after 90 minutes.
