Plymouth will try to bounce back from a 4-2 EFL Cup defeat to Coventry when they welcome in-form Bradford City in League One. The Pilgrims have been impressive going forward, scoring 2.00 goals per game across their last 10 matches, while they have failed to score in none of those fixtures. However, defensive problems remain a concern, with Plymouth conceding 1.50 goals per game during that run and keeping just two clean sheets. Xavier Amaechi is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the cup, while Michael Baidoo remains sidelined.
Bradford, meanwhile, are enjoying an excellent spell after back-to-back league victories over Peterborough and Sheffield Wednesday. The Bantams then eliminated Burnley on penalties in the EFL Cup and are now targeting a fifth consecutive clean sheet in all competitions. They have conceded only 0.70 goals per game in their last 10 matches, highlighting their defensive strength. Antoni Sarcevic returns to the starting XI after appearing from the bench in midweek.
Bradford's defensive record points towards a relatively controlled game. Therefore, we are tempted to place our bets on Under 2.5 goals, alongside Bradford or Draw (better form).
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 29 August 2026 at 15:00.
