Analysis

Our model families split, but the ensemble picks Cardiff City F.C., rating it at 42.5%. That figure comes from league-wide form and scoring, not from anything specific to this fixture — a consensus worth weighing, not a certainty.

The two have met 2 times, and Bradford City A.F.C. won 1 of 2. 2 games is too small a sample to build on, so it doesn't feed the forecast — the 42.5% comes from league-wide form, not from this pairing.

They arrive from very different football. Cardiff City F.C.'s last 5 produced 18 goals — 3.6 per game; they scored in 5 of them and conceded in 5. Bradford City A.F.C.'s 5 produced 8, at 1.6 per game.

The model puts the draw at 24.3%. Our own measurements show it tends to under-rate draws, so it's worth treating that figure as a floor.

This forecast doesn't account for line-ups, injuries or suspensions. It's a statistical read of form, scoring and league strength.
