Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Under 0.5 first-half goals17/10 (Ladbrokes)Stevenage have gone in at 0-0 at half-time in six of their eight League One games this season, and Bradford have done so in five of their nine. That is 11 goalless first halves in their 17 combined matches, a striking trend for two sides in the top half. Bradford are second, and Stevenage tend to sit in and frustrate, so a slow start at Valley Parade looks likely. Ladbrokes have no first-half goals at 17/10.
Bradford City to win 1-011/2 (bet365)Few sides in League One are as watertight as Bradford, who have kept six clean sheets and conceded only five goals in nine games. The flip side is that they rarely run riot, with just eight goals scored, so narrow wins are their bread and butter. Four of their five victories this season have been by a single goal, and a 1-0 home win over a Stevenage side that keeps things tight on the road is a very plausible outcome. At 11/2, the exact scoreline holds real appeal.

How Bradford City go into the game

Bradford City sit second and have built their strong start on a miserly defence, keeping six clean sheets in nine games and conceding just five goals all season. They were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Leyton Orient last time out.

Four of Bradford’s five wins have come by a single goal, underlining that this is a side that grinds out narrow results rather than one that overwhelms opponents.

How Stevenage go into the game

Stevenage go into the weekend ninth and in decent order, with a 1-0 home win over Wigan last time out. They are well organised and hard to break down, much like their hosts.

On their travels Stevenage have managed just six goals in four away games, so goals could again be at a premium against the division’s tightest defence.
