Northampton Town at 2.83 to win feels slightly short given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the 1st League this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re overperforming — stats nerds would fade them.
Bradford City’s 2.55 odds smells value, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his recent funk.
