Bradford City welcome Crewe Alexandra for another appealing League Two match here at The Utilita Energy Stadium.
- Bradford City have not yet lost a game at home.
- Crewe Alexandra have the most scored goals in the first half (7) in League Two
Little time to rest for the hosts, as they featured in a Carabao Cup fixture only four days earlier. This match was also played here at The Utilita Energy Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Crewe Alexandra have had more rest.
Bradford City form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Bradford City's two home games in the League Two so far this season, having collected 4 points here at The Utilita Energy Stadium.
The Bradford City supporters got no joy from their last fixture, a Carabao Cup duel also played here at The Utilita Energy Stadium: A 1-2 defeat against Blackburn Rovers. Cook, an attacker, was the best player for the side in that fixture, scoring a rating of 7.15 (out of 10). Cook scored one goal and hit one key pass.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Hartlepool United and winning 3-1.The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Bradford handle that role? We have found 11 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are 1 win, 6 draws and 4 defeats.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Bradford City as they have a new game in only three days, a EFL Trophy match thankfully also at home. Sheffield Wednesday are visiting.
Early season league goal statistics from Bradford City's 2 home games: 2 goals, 0 conceded.
Crewe Alexandra form and stats
Things could have gone better for Crewe Alexandra in their League Two away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
There were no winners in Crewe Alexandra's previous match, the home game that ended 2-2 vs Northampton Town (placed 4th). Drawing 2-2 against Northampton Town after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Morris needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. Baker-Richardson, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.35. Baker-Richardson scored two goals.
Before that, Alexandra secured a home win against Sutton United with the score 1-0.Crewe Alexandra are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 1 draw and 8 defeats. From a total of 10 matches.
Crewe Alexandra have another game that requires travelling in just three nights, a EFL Trophy match vs Bolton Wanderers. A hard calendar for them!
2 goals so far away for Crewe Alexandra, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 4. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's five Bradford City victories, two draws and three Crewe Alexandra wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, six matches with two goals or less.
