Preview

Match preview

Bradford enter this EFL Cup Round of 64 clash carrying strong momentum, having gone unbeaten across their last five matches with four victories and one draw. The hosts have demonstrated defensive solidity in recent outings, recording three consecutive clean sheets against Sheffield Wednesday (1-0), Peterborough (2-0), and Rochdale (2-0).

Burnley, by contrast, arrive in indifferent form, failing to secure a win in their last five fixtures across all competitions (three draws and two defeats). Their most recent outing resulted in a 3-1 away defeat to West Bromwich Albion, highlighting ongoing defensive vulnerabilities that have seen them concede in four of their last five matches.

With Bradford enjoying home advantage and an unblemished availability report, they appear well-positioned to frustrate a visiting side managing multiple squad absences including E. Agyei, J. Banel, A. Barnes, J. Beyer, and J. Cullen.
