Bradford City will look to build on their impressive 2-0 EFL Cup victory over Rochdale when they welcome Peterborough United to Valley Parade. The Bantams have been in relatively solid form, winning four of their last 10 matches, while they have conceded just 0.67 goals per game across their last six home outings. Their summer recruitment has also added experience and depth, with Callum Connolly, Jon McCracken, and Reece Welch among the new arrivals.
Peterborough, meanwhile, will be hoping to carry their EFL Cup momentum into the League One opener after beating Bristol Rovers 1-0. However, the Posh have won just one of their last 10 matches in all competitions, scoring only 0.8 goals per game while conceding 1.8. Their away record has been slightly better, but they still concede an average of 2.0 goals per game on the road. Archie Collins, Tom Lees, and Jacob Mendy have all signed permanent deals as Peterborough look to improve their fortunes. Bradford lead the H2H record with seven wins from 16 meetings.
As Bradford City are generally defensively strong at home, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals (Bradford's home matches average just 1.5 goals across their recent sample).
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 15 August 2026 at 15:00.
