Game Analysis
A heavy favourite, with the price to match. Bradford is the shortest price on a book of 1.57 / 3.9 / 5 (1 / X / 2), an implied 58.3%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 58.3% / 23.5% / 18.3% on an overround of 9.3%.
Money has come for over 2.5 goals: the price has shortened from 1.80 to 1.61, a move of 11.8%. Steam like that on the day of the game usually reflects team news the wider market has not caught up with yet.
Under 2.5 goals has drifted from 1.97 to 2.26 (12.8%). Layers are happy to take that side on, which is worth respecting.
Liquidity is strong — 19,673 already matched on the 1X2 market, putting this among the most heavily traded fixtures on the card. Prices in a market that deep are far more reliable than in a thin one.
The goals market is priced 1.81 under 2.5 / 2.04 over 2.5, leaning to the unders.
