Bolton Wanderers vs Bradford City betting

Bradford haven’t been in the First Division or the Championship as it is now known, since 2004 when they were relegated into the third tier of the EFL.

Since then they’ve bounced between League One and League Two, and are even now looking to make back-to-back promotions after another promising season.

Similarly, Bolton have been out of the Championship for some time too, and have faced a couple of relegations from the second to the third and even fourth tier of English Football.

League One was ultra competitive this season and these two sides finished right in the middle of the play-off places.

Bradford finished fourth but only on goal difference, but 14 points behind the automatic promotion place held by Cardiff.
