Live on Skysports 1: Tues 19.45: Bradford are a tempting 7/1 (Betfred) to upset Sheffield United in the pair’s Johnstone’s Paints Trophy clash.
Ladbrokes have installed Sheffield United as strong 4/9 favourites to get the better of Bradford in the pair’s Johnstone’s Paints Trophy clash as Bramall Lane while the Bantams are a 7/1 shot at Betfred. However, at that price it might be worth taking a chance on Phil Parkinson’s League Two strugglers in a competition that isn’t really the Blades’ main priority this term.
Bradford have already accounted for two League One promotion candidates in Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield, holding the pair to a draw after normal time before eventually prevailing on penalties so this contest won’t look daunting to them.
They’re 13/2 (Paddy Power) to win from the spot again, 7/4 (bet365) to avoid defeat in normal time and 18/5 with to draw but under no pressure and relishing the opportunity to leave their league struggles to one side, the West Yorkshire outfit are worth a modest gamble at a chunky 7/1 to emerge triumphant after 90 minutes.
