Match analysis
Superior's model expects Bradford to beat Barnsley 1-0 on 26 September, with 3-1 as the alternative score. Bradford have won their last five, four of them by a single goal, including 1-0 wins at Notts County and Luton, and Barnsley have lost three of their last five.
Three of Bradford's five wins finished 1-0
Bradford beat Mansfield 1-0, then won 1-0 at Notts County and 1-0 at Luton, and conceded twice in the whole run. The model builds each team's expected goals from measured scoring and conceding, and Barnsley's defence is the weak side of that: they have let in 14 in five, including a 1-5 home defeat by Stevenage and a 3-0 loss at Plymouth.
Barnsley put three past Leeds United's under-21s on 22 September
A 1-0 needs Barnsley to draw a blank, and they scored in four of their last five, and the 3-4 against Leeds was one of two games in that run where they scored at least twice. Both meetings last season finished 2-2, so a Barnsley goal turning this into a draw is the clearest way the forecast is wrong.
