Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

This League One tie, with Bolton and Bradford going head-to-head, offers plenty of value in the widely used under 2.5 goals market, with a total of 3+ goals being scored seeming highly probable. Strikers for both will look to take advantage of an open match and, having analysed the relevant stats and odds, we're confident that a bet on over 2.5 goals would be stronger than anything in the WDW market.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Bolton are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 52% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 1.85.
