Bradford's recent scoreless games still contained repeated entries into dangerous areas, leaving finishing as the step they need to complete. Torino's recent wins show a useful direct wing route, but Como bring more than one way to work through a crowded centre. Both matches may stay close until changes in the second half turn territory into a decisive chance.
Bradford can press Peterborough's first pass, then use Connolly's restarts and Touray or O'Keeffe from wide positions. Their box shots at Burton and corners at Oxford show supply even without a goal, while Peterborough had only two attempts on target despite long spells with the ball at Bromley. Leonard started that league game but is suspended for this cup tie; Mendonca and O'Connor are fitness doubts, not confirmed absences. Bradford have several forwards to refresh their attack after the break. I expect that repeated supply and the later changes to produce a winner, so I'm siding with Bradford City in regular time.
Torino's Belghali can cross early toward Simeone and Vlašić can collect the second ball. Como can answer through Douvikas, then Caqueret and Kaiki from the left if the first central path closes; that switch brought close finishes against Sassuolo. Mandragora played in Torino's last match before his injury and now leaves a changed midfield screen. Douvikas, Caqueret and Kaiki played substantial minutes in Como's last match, while Paz was rested after supplying another scoring route earlier. I expect Como to keep re-entering the box as Torino's direct attacks become less frequent, and I'm siding with Como to finish ahead in regular time.
