Bradford City form and stats

Bradford City has only collected 13 points from their away games after 3-4-12 (19 played). It's a growing despair in Bradford City as they have recorded three consecutive losses. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Bradford City's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Bradford City failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Blackpool (placed 8th) that ended with defeat 1-4. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Oxford United's place.

Bradford City find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 19 goals from 19 away fixtures. The Bradford City manager G. Bowyer has some worries about the defense as 38 goals have been conceded in these travels.
