Bolton Wanderers vs Bradford City: Prediction, Head-to-Head, Odds & Stats (Sat, 22 Nov '25)

The grand spectacle of League One football is about to unfold on Sat, 22 Nov '25, bringing back memories sweeter than grandma's cookies. The showdown features our beloved Bolton Wanderers squaring off against the spirited Bradford City. Their last three tête-à-têtes have resulted in a fair distribution of joy — one victory apiece and not forgetting the underwhelming draw that left fans scratching heads and munching popcorn.

Last time these two teams battled it out, on that fateful Sat 06 Mar 21, it was a gentleman’s draw, the football equivalent of a diplomatic tie. However, fast forward to today, and here come the Wanderers, galloping into the match fresh from throttling Oldham Athletic 6-2, a scoreline that'd make a calculator blush. Meanwhile, the brave lads from Bradford City are hoping to bounce back like a rubber ball after their 1-3 tumble against Doncaster Rovers. Currently, they are making waves in their domestic league, comfortably nestled at position 3, while Bolton Wanderers are just a stride behind at position 4.

Everyone knows it's M. Burstow keeping the scoreboard operators busy with 7 joyful goals for Bolton Wanderers this season. In contrast, the task of threading those all-important needles of assist at Bradford City lies in the skillful boots of J. Neufville, who has conjured 2 assists out of thin air, much like a magician pulling rabbits from a hat.

Peering into the magic crystal ball of player ratings, Bolton Wanderers boast Kyle Dempsey at the top with a score of 7.6, followed by Amario Cozier-Duberry and Chris Forino clocking in solid performances. On the flip side of the coin, the citizens of Bradford proudly sing praises of their own shining stars: Bobby Pointon with a 7.22, Max Power engaging audiences with his 7.11, and Neill Byrne not far behind with a score of 7.05.

When it comes to wielding the battle of possession, Bolton Wanderers revel in their football democracy, boasting an average possession stat of 58.47%. While Bradford City, playing the strategic card, hold at 46.87%. A closer look at the stat sheet suggests that if corners had frequent flyer miles, Bolton Wanderers with an average of 6.73 per game would surely be sipping cocktails in an airport lounge alongside Bradford City and their respectable 5 average corners.

In the land of discipline, Bolton Wanderers are the picture of serenity with a repertoire of 25 yellow cards, whereas Bradford City’s collection of 33 yellow cards suggests they might sometimes partake in the darker arts of football's spellbook. Reflecting upon these revealing stats, the crystal ball whispers of a triumph favoring Bolton Wanderers, but the unpredictability of football suggests one should never count their chickens or their footballs before they're kicked!
