Bradford vs Hull City – Hull City, a team from the Championship, will be travelling to Bradford City, a team from League Two, on Tuesday night in the hopes of advancing to the second round of the EFL Cup.
Hull is off to a great start in the 2022-23 domestic season, winning both of their first two games and collecting four points to put them in fifth place in the Championship. Bradford, meanwhile, is struggling in League Two, sitting in last place with only one point.
Last year, Bradford finished 14th in League Two, 19 points out of the playoff positions. Through their first two games this season, they have managed just one point.
The 2022–23 season started off with a goalless draw for Mark Hughes’s side against Doncaster Rovers on July 30. However, on Saturday, they lost 3-2 at Barrow after the home team scored twice in the final 30 minutes to secure the victory.
The home team’s third goal came in the sixth minute of additional time after the visitors had scored what they thought was the game-tying goal. In 2013, Bradford made it all the way to the League Cup final, but they lost to Swansea City, 5-0, at Wembley Stadium.
It’s safe to conclude that the 2022-23 season’s League Cup is not a top priority for the Bantams after they dropped eight of their last nine matches (including a 2-1 loss to Nottingham Forest last season).
Bradford vs Hull City – Betting Analysis
While Preston North End and Hull played to a scoreless draw on Saturday afternoon in the Championship, Hull will approach this encounter riding high on the momentum of that result.
Following a 2-1 home victory over Bristol City to kick off the 2022-23 season, the Tigers have earned four points through their first two games and currently sit in fifth place of the league table.
Supporters of Shota Arveladze’s club, who ended 19th in the Championship last season, are likely hoping for better results this year, and the club has gotten off to a good start.
Hull has never won the League Cup, however in 2017 they made it to the semi-finals before falling to Manchester United, and in 2014 they finished second in the FA Cup after a 3-2 extra-time loss to Arsenal.
The Tigers will be making significant changes to their starting XI for the EFL Cup match against their League Two opponents because of the importance of next weekend’s Championship match against Norwich City at home, followed by two more league matches against Burnley and West Bromwich Albion in quick succession.
