Here is all you should know about the League Two match Bradford City - Sutton United!

Insights:
  • Bradford City have won significantly more corners at home than away.
  • Sutton United have the most points from losing position (10) in League Two

It's no vacation for neither Bradford City nor Sutton United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Sutton United have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 19-11-15 (win-draw-loss) from 45 matches.

Sutton United form and stats

The visitors are W4-D2-L5 on the road this term. That's in the League Two. Sutton United has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

There might be some fixture complaints from Sutton United as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the League Two match against Newport County (2-3). Leading 2-0 was not enough for Sutton in their fight with Newport County last time out. Happy faces soon turned sour as mistakes flourished in what ended up a 2-3 loss. Late heartbreak for Sutton in the Newport County match, as the deciding 2-3 goal came deep into overtime. David Ajiboye got a match rating of 8.12 in that game, top player of the team. Ajiboye scored two goals and dribled past the opponent 3 of 5 times.

Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Bristol Rovers's place.

Sutton have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 11 league away games 14 goals have been scored. 16 goals have been conceded by Sutton in these games.
