Bradford had to settle for a point in the 1-1 draw with Newport, as the team were unable to find the winning touch despite opening the scoring through the league’s top scorer, Andy Cook.

Bradford to win

Bradford are on a two-game winning streak against Hartlepool. Manager Mark Hughes has seen his team falter under the pressure of finishing in the automatic promotion spots. Meanwhile, Hartlepool have the potential to threaten from setpieces, but they may not harm Bradford more than just getting a goal or two. This Bradford vs Hartlepool prediction would opt for a home win.

Andy Cook to score anytime

Andy Cook’s sensational form continues with the striker scoring in the draw with Newport. It has taken his league tally for the campaign to 20 goals with a whopping 11 of them helping open the scoring. The 32-year-old has also been on the scoresheet in four of the last five games for Bradford. This Bradford vs Hartlepool prediction would back the forward to score anytime.

Both teams to score – yes

Hartlepool provided plenty of nervous moments for Northampton from setpiece situations and they have the potential to repeat the same away from home. Bradford have been pretty good defensively but they have not been 100% solid, as proved by Newport snatching a point in the latest match. The Bradford vs Hartlepool odds find a lot of value in opting for both teams to score.
