Bradford City have collected 19 points from their League Two home games so far after 5-4-4. Two home wins in a row for Bradford City bring valid hopes of a third.

A strong away win for Bradford against Cheltenham Town the last match, as Andy Cook (2) were on target. Ahead of that match, Bradford won a home game hosting Morecambe (2-1).
