This game is likely to be decided in the latter part of the first half, as Bradford City concede goals between 31-45 minutes, accounting for 24% of all their conceded goals. Meanwhile, Burnley score the most in the same period, with 22% of all their goals in the last 30 matches. Both figures point in the same direction: the 15 minutes before half-time is when Burnley are likely to have a chance to open the scoring. Once Burnley take the lead, Bradford City will have to open up and chase the game, which will widen the gaps in their defense even further. Therefore, there is a high chance of seeing over 2 goals in this match, especially if Burnley dominate as the odds suggest. The first thing to watch after kick-off is whether Bradford City's defense can cope with Burnley's pace in the first 15 minutes, because if they concede early, the game will open up immediately.
