Bradford City and Harrogate Town have both played out a "par" performance so far this season, to use a golf phrase. The teams both reside in mid-table places in the League Two.

Insights:
  • Bradford City have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Harrogate Town have the most scored goals in the first half (28) in League Two

There have been little to rest for the hosting team, as they had a League Two fixture only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Oldham Athletic.

Bradford City form and stats

Bradford City have played 15 League Two games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-8-3 (wins-draws-losses).

Bradford City are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 215 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Walker).

The regulars are hoping that Bradford will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the match against Oldham Athletic (placed 22nd). Midfield player Watt got a match rating of 7.82 in that game, the max score being 10. Watt hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Ahead of that match, Bradford City lost 0-1 at home to Exeter City.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Bradford City as they have a new game in only four days, a League Two match thankfully also at home. Mansfield Town are visiting.

The Bradford fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 21 in 15 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 18 goals have been conceded.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Rochdale that ended 3-3.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The League Two trip to Barrow.
