Spreadwise: football spread betting tips for the weekend

Sky Bet League One
3pm Saturday

Bradford City's goalless stalemate against Wycombe last time out was an anomaly in a season which has seen plenty of goals at both ends.

The Bantams have shipped 51 goals in Sky Bet League One but, although the club are lingering in the relegation places, their goals-scored tally of 36 is greater than playoff-chasing Blackpool and Coventry.

Before the Wycombe game, their previous six fixtures featured a total 20 goals and a buy of goals at 2.6 in their meeting with Fleetwood is an enticing option.

Joey Barton's men have found the net in five of their last six matches and their encounter with Oxford and double-header with Wimbledon in the league and cup each saw wagers on over 2.5 goals land.

Fleetwood are on the fringes of a League One playoff spot while 22nd-placed Bradford are fighting for their lives and, with the stakes high, the floodgates could open if both sides play their usual free-flowing football.

Referee Mike Dean is one red card away from giving out 100 in his Premier League career and he will take charge of Manchester City's clash with Chelsea on Sunday, in which bookings are trading at 47-51 with Sporting Index.

There are 25 points awarded for a red card and ten points given for a yellow.

Recommendation
Buy total goals in Bradford v Fleetwood
at 2.6 Sporting Index
