Bradford City vs Peterborough United predictions for tonight’s 7.45pm (UK time) kick-off at Valley Parade back Bradford City to win to nil at 47/20, with our score prediction Bradford 1-0 Peterborough United. A place in the EFL Cup quarter-finals is up for grabs.
This is an all-League One tie, and it pits the division’s third-placed side against one of its strugglers. Bradford City have built their season on a miserly defence, while Peterborough United arrive 18 places and a world of confidence below them.
Anthony Eadson has gone through the form, the head-to-head and the prices to land on two Premium Tips for a tie the bookmakers expect the hosts to win.
Premium Tips
Two Premium Tips for Bradford City vs Peterborough United, with Anthony Eadson leaning on the hosts’ outstanding defensive record.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Bradford City to win to nil | 47/20 (10bet) | Bradford City have built their season on clean sheets. They have kept nine shut-outs in their 12 League One games this season and conceded only five league goals, a defensive record that is the backbone of their third-placed standing. Peterborough United are the ideal opponents for that strength: Posh have failed to score in five of their 12 league games and have shipped 14 on the road, winning just once in seven away. With Bradford winning their last two meetings with the visitors 2-0 and 2-0, a home win without conceding looks the shrewd play at 47/20. |
| Half-time draw, full-time Bradford City | 4/1 (Sky Bet) | Bradford City tend to do their damage late. They have been level at half-time in eight of their 12 League One games, and seven of their 10 league goals have arrived after the break. Four of those eight games ended in Bradford wins, including August’s 2-0 victory over Peterborough United, which was goalless at the interval. Posh were also level at the break in five of their 12 league games. With each of Bradford’s last four league matches goalless at half-time, Sky Bet’s 4/1 on a level first half and a home win is worth a look. |

How Bradford City go into the game
Bradford City sit third in League One on 22 points, and they have conceded just five goals in 12 games, comfortably the meanest return in the division. Six wins and four draws from 12 tell the story of a side that is hard to beat, even if the 10 goals scored hint that the attack still needs work.
Their recent form is unbeaten but draw-heavy: Bradford go into this one off a goalless draw at Oxford United, having also drawn 0-0 at Burton Albion and 0-0 at home to Leyton Orient in their last five. The one win in that run, 2-0 at home to Stevenage, is the template they will want here.
How Peterborough United go into the game
Peterborough United travel north sitting 21st in League One on 10 points, with just two wins from 12 and a goal difference of minus 10. They have conceded 21 times already and kept only one clean sheet, numbers that make life hard against anyone, let alone the division’s best defence.
Posh come in off a 1-1 draw at Bromley, and their last five also includes a 4-1 hammering at Huddersfield Town and a 1-0 defeat at Stockport County. The bright spot was a 3-1 win at Leicester City, proof there are goals in them on their day, but the away record of one win in seven is a concern.
Bradford City vs Peterborough United head-to-head
| Date | Home | Score | Away |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15/08/26 | Bradford City | 2-0 | Peterborough United |
| 14/02/26 | Bradford City | 2-0 | Peterborough United |
| 23/08/25 | Peterborough United | 1-1 | Bradford City |
| 09/03/19 | Bradford City | 3-1 | Peterborough United |
| 11/12/18 | Bradford City | 4-4 | Peterborough United |
Bradford City have the upper hand in recent meetings, winning the last two 2-0 and going unbeaten in the last four meetings with Peterborough United. Posh will point to a 1-1 draw at London Road in August 2025 as evidence they can frustrate the hosts, but Valley Parade has been a happy hunting ground.
