Key Statistics

Bradford opened the campaign with four consecutive clean sheets before losing 2–0 to Plymouth. Their earlier run included wins over Peterborough and Sheffield Wednesday.

Cambridge have now lost their last two matches in all competitions and face a Bradford side with a considerably stronger defensive profile.

The 1X selection therefore has more statistical support than an outright Bradford win.

Team News

Bradford's defensive structure has been one of the defining features of their opening matches. The squad should remain close to full strength despite the Plymouth defeat.

Cambridge are still adapting to League One after promotion and have struggled to maintain the defensive consistency required at this level.

Further rotation is possible after the recent run of matches.

Prediction Analysis

Because of how solid Bradford has been defensively and the fact that Cambridge are just getting used to the League One after just securing promotion, we expect this to be a game for Bradford to win.

But we cannot rule out a draw.
