"While Bolton might have marked their return from November's international break with consecutive League One stalemates against Luton and Tuesday's guests, Steven Schumacher's men are widely regarded as a standout play-off candidate this season. Extending on their FA Cup adventure last month as they clinched a 2-1 victory against Huddersfield, the Trotters are unbeaten in all of their previous seven appearances across all competitions."
"Likewise, punching their EFL Trophy knockout stage ticket on November 11th thanks to a stellar 6-2 romp away at Port Vale, the former Plymouth boss has also seen his squad continue to impress on home soil. Including a gritty 1-0 win against fellow promotion dreamers Cardiff on October 25th, Bolton have won eight of their last nine showdowns at the Toughsheet Community Stadium."
"Although Bradford might have come flying out of the traps after making their League One return this season, it is no secret that Graham Alexander's men are seeking some recent stability. Despite still scrapping it out at the top of the third-tier table, Tuesday's guests are enduring their most testing period since opening up the 2025/26 campaign."
Bolton carry strong momentum into the midweek clash, remaining unbeaten in seven matches and fresh from a 2-1 FA Cup victory over Huddersfield. The team secured an EFL Trophy knockout place with a 6-2 away win at Port Vale and have won eight of their last nine home fixtures, remaining undefeated at home in 90 minutes since April. Bradford began the season well but are currently in a difficult spell, occupying a top-table position yet suffering form issues and managing only one win in their previous eight matches across all competitions.
