Our prediction is: Both teams to score

The best betting option for Sheffield Wednesday vs Bradford City is the Both Teams to Score market - BTTS. After all, both teams need to seek victory and shouldn't 'park the bus' waiting for the opponent.

But that's not the only reason we believe in a game with goals for both teams. We also see value odds in the BTTS market when we have two offensive teams, as is the case with Sheffield Wednesday and Bradford City in this game.

To guarantee a win on Both Teams to Score, as the name suggests, we need both Sheffield Wednesday and Bradford City to score goals.

Our prediction is: under 9.5 corners

We expect that corners will be hard to come by in the Sheffield Wednesday vs Bradford City match. Neither team has been able to create too many corner opportunities this season with how they have played, and this figures to be another match with a low corner count.

So for this match, we recommend betting on under 9.5 corners, where 9 total corners or fewer between the two teams will win the bet.
