Bradford City form and stats

Bradford City have played 4 League Two games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).

Bradford City's previous game was a League Two match also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Northampton Town (placed 18th). The home side are looking to build on that result. 1-1 away at Bolton Wanderers before that.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Bradford City have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won 4 times, drawn 1 and lost 3.

Bradford City has scored 5 league goals at home this season, in 4 matches. Bradford City have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals.

Northampton Town form and stats

1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses. That’s the product of Northampton Town playing as the away team in the League Two this season. Northampton Town seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Northampton Town play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Bradford City (placed 10th). A loss against Peterborough United was the result prior to that, in a EFL Trophy home game.

Northampton Town are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats. From a total of twelve matches.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Northampton Town as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league. 4 goals have been conceded by Northampton Town in these games.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Bradford City - Northampton Town 2-1. Bradford City-Northampton Town H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Bradford City 7 wins, Northampton Town 1 win, 2 draws. 5 of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
