Edge strength 4 of 5Bradford -0.5
Why this price?
Back Bradford -0.5 on the Asian handicap at 1.85 with Bet365 — Bradford must win by more than 0.5 goals.
Our model puts the chance at 44% and the bookmakers' own consensus, margin removed, at 68%; we judge it at 58%, weighting the market more than the model, which is a fair price of 1.72. The offered 1.85 implies only 54%, so the price is 7.7% better than our estimate says it should be. That gap is the edge.
Stake 2.00 units of a 100-unit bank: the size follows the edge (a quarter-Kelly fraction), never more than 2 units.
Projected goals: Bradford 1.39, Peterborough 1.06.
The edge is an estimate and carries model error; it can be wrong, and a losing run is normal.

A positive gap means our probability is higher than the price implies. That is information, not a recommendation: a pick is only published where the gap clears our bar after allowing for model error, and those appear above.
Bradford favoured against Peterborough
Our model makes Bradford 44% to win this EFL Cup fixture, with the draw at 28% and Peterborough at 28%. The goal projection is 1.39 for Bradford against 1.06 for Peterborough — a clear edge to Bradford on expected output. A combined 2.45 goals points to a cagey game with few clear chances, which puts over 2.5 at 44% and both teams to score at 50%. The single most likely scoreline is 1-1 at 13%, though no individual scoreline is ever likely in absolute terms — that is the nature of a low-scoring sport. Note that even our favoured side is under 45% to win outright, so this is a fixture where the draw does a lot of work and confident calls are not warranted. All figures come from a Dixon–Coles adjusted Poisson model fitted on recent results and expected goals. They are estimates, not forecasts of fact.
