Bradford City form and stats

Bradford City have played 15 League Two games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-6-3 (wins-draws-losses).

Bradford's previous game was also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Tranmere Rovers (placed 12th). The home side are looking to build on that result. The host team have an in-form goalscorer in Cook, having bagged a goal in three matches in a row. Halliday, defender, was given a rating of 7.85/10 in that game, top of the team. Halliday hit one key pass and won 7 of 9 duels.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Stevenage and winning 3-2.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Bradford City handle that role? We have found 13 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are 2 wins, 6 draws and 5 defeats.

Bradford City are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 20 goals in 15 games. From these home matches, Bradford have conceded only 14 goals.

Barrow form and stats

There's been little loot from Barrow's travels as they have only collected 16 points from 16 away games in the League Two. Barrow only have 4 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 4 draws.

Barrow have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 213 minutes ago. Whitfield was the goal scorer.

Two away games in a row for Barrow, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Doncaster Rovers. Midfielder Neal was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.11. Neal dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Newport County.

Barrow are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 4 draws and 8 defeats. From a total of 14 matches.

The attacking power of Barrow when travelling is not overwhelming with 15 goals scored from 16 league matches away. In the opposite end, Barrow have conceded 26 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

The two sides met each other previously this season: Barrow - Bradford City 3-2. Head-2-head stats last five meetings: two - one - two (Bradford wins - draws - Barrow wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.
