Bradford to make it three in a row over The Posh
Tactics
Bradford City have been a model of consistency since Michael Duff took over as manager on 7th October 2026, and Peterborough United have been an inconsistent bunch. Robbie Savage has brought a higher-tempo, front-foot approach to the Posh with aggressive pressing, while Duff has stamped his own identity by building a compact, controlled and solid 3-4-2-1 system, and it will be interesting to see which comes out on top on Tuesday.
Form and odds
The Bantams are the clear favorites here at 1.7, and while The Posh offer a bit of value at 4.7, the 3.75 draw is also a price that looks worth taking. Bradford have won the last 2 H2H matches, and The Posh have failed to win either of their last 2 away at Bradford City, which is a big red flag for us. The game flow and tactics employed by both of these teams should lead to a tight cup match, but Bradford's form is superior and they have the home advantage.
Bradford come into this one on a run of 2 wins and 3 ties in their last 5 matches in league and cup, which includes a 2-0 win at home to Stevenage Borough in League One 2026/2027. Peterborough United have been much more inconsistent in this period, winning 2, tying 1 and losing 2 of their last 5 in all competitions. That includes a heavy 4-1 defeat away to Huddersfield Town in League One 2026/2027, and that's one of the few times that The Posh have looked vulnerable at the back.

Defensive outlook
Bradford have kept several clean sheets in recent weeks, with Bradford City holding to 0-0 draws against Leyton Orient and Burton Albion before going on to beat Stevenage 2-0. Under 2.5 goals at 1.95 is a good price on this one as both teams to score is a touch too tight to be of interest.
Scoring threats
- Bradford's Will Swan has been the most reliable goal source in recent matches, scoring 3 of the Bantams' last 7 goals in their last 5 games, and Posh have Harry Leonard in equally good form with 3 of their last 8 goals coming in their last 5.
- Bradford are 4 games unbeaten at home in all competition (Won 3, tie 1), scoring an average of 1.25 goals per game, while Peterborough have 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats away in all competitions and have scored 5 goals in 4 away matches.
