Bradford City vs Peterborough United Preview
Bradford City are riding an extraordinary wave of momentum into this Carabao Cup last-16 clash, unbeaten in eleven matches across all competitions. Sitting third in League One under Michael Duff, who has kept four consecutive clean sheets since taking charge, the Bantams look a side brimming with confidence. Their most recent home form reads impressively, and a 2-0 victory over Peterborough earlier this season underlines their dominance in this fixture.
Peterborough United arrive at the University of Bradford Stadium in contrasting circumstances. Languishing near the bottom of League One, Robbie Savage's side remain winless in three outings, with their latest result a draw against Bromley. The return of Matthew Garbett and Josh Feeney should bolster the squad, while Tom O'Connor's comeback from a six-week injury layoff offers some encouragement. Still, Posh have never reached the quarter-finals of this competition and face a daunting task here.
Bradford City's home win at 1.72 stands out as the primary selection. An eleven-game unbeaten streak, combined with two consecutive 2-0 victories over Peterborough, paints a convincing picture. Michael Duff's side have kept four clean sheets in a row, suggesting defensive solidity that Peterborough will struggle to breach under Robbie Savage's still-developing system.
The under 2.5 goals market at 1.99 deserves serious consideration. Both previous meetings this term ended 2-0, and Duff's defensive record since arriving has been remarkable. Peterborough sit 21st in League One and have been winless across their last three outings, hardly the profile of a side likely to unlock a well-drilled backline.
Backing both teams to score: no at 1.95 complements the home win nicely. Peterborough's attacking output has been poor during their difficult run, and Bradford's four successive clean sheets under Duff indicate a unit that rarely offers cheap goals. With the Bantams chasing a first quarter-final appearance since their memorable 2012-13 campaign, expect a controlled, professional performance at the University of Bradford Stadium. Odds correct at time of publication.
