Jump in quick on this one as I think this is a good bet, and the line will surely drop as this gets hammered. Totesport were the first to offer +8 when the other bookies were just going +6 and they have cut the price from 1.91 to 1.72 in the last hour. Skybet are the only one left with +8 @ 1.91 and I suggest you take some of it quickly before they get hammered on it too.

The bookies have Leeds as big outright favourites here, when I gotta say I think this game could go either way. 3.00-3.25 on the exchanges for the Bulls outright win is too big as well and Ive had some of that too.

A sell out crowd is expected on friday night at Leeds' Headingley Carnegie stadium, (which saw 67mm of rain hit it on Monday - apparently a record since records began!!!) for this big West Yorkshire Derby. Bradford still surely have some of that bitter taste in their mouths from the time these last two teams met. That was at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff where the Bulls were literally robbed of the win 10 seconds from time, with a display of simply the worst officiating I think I've ever seen. Bradford later demanded the points were stripped from Leeds and given to the The Bulls but must have known that the powers that be were never gonna do that.

I just wonder if there is gonna be a bit of payback in the air on friday night. Conspiracy theorists might even be convinced there will be words in certain ears to try and even up the score and make up for last time. Well I dunno about that, but I do know Bradford will be well up for this one regardless.

This is Big Leslie Vainokolo's last game for Bradford and the Bulls legend will really want to go out with a bang, as will his team-mates for him. New signing Tame Tupou is improving week by week too and looks capable of filling the Volcano's boots.

In their last 3 SuperLeague games Bradford have conceeded 46 points and Leeds have conceeded 48. So both defences are performing reasonably similarly. In the same 3 games, Leeds in total scored 85 points, and Bradford Scored 106. Bradford slightly outperforming Leeds.

Not much between the 2 teams on paper...

With more rain forecast for the weekend and 2 Academy matches on the pitch before the SuperLeague showpiece the surface could be really cut up and again point to a close game. Team news is good for both teams and this could be a real cracker. Too many factors point in Bradford's favour though and at those juicy odds on offer I've had to jump in .....



Good Luck ......
