Game Analysis

  • This is priced as a mismatch. Bradford is the shortest price on a book of 1.22 / 5.5 / 8 (1 / X / 2), an implied 72.8%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 72.8% / 16.1% / 11.1% on an overround of 12.6%.

  • In the league table Bradford sit 3rd with Newcastle United Academy 1st on 3 points (1W 0D 0L).

  • Bradford read W-W-W-L-L-W across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (4W 0D 2L) — a strong recent run.

  • Newcastle United Academy read W-L-D-L-D-W across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (2W 2D 2L) — patchy.

  • Head to head the record reads 0-1-0 — Bradford wins, draws, then Newcastle United Academy wins. Their last meeting finished Bradford - Newcastle United Academy: 2-2.

  • Our last-six model flags 1 qualifying strike here. Reading Bradford first, then Newcastle United Academy, out of their last six: NG 5 and 2.

  • Bradford lean hardest on Antoni Sarcevic (9.5), Matthew Pennington (9.5), Ibou Touray (9.5) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.

  • The read: Bradford at 1.22 is short enough that the value, if there is any, sits on the handicap or in the goals market rather than the outright.
