Bradford City form and stats

Bradford City have only collected 16 points from their away games in the League Two, after 3-7-7 (17 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Bradford City, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Cambridge United (placed 12th). Before that, Bradford City secured a home win against Stevenage with the score 3-1.

Bradford City were so close to getting something from the game against Cambridge United, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal one minutes into overtime.

Bradford City are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, three draws and four defeats. From a total of seven matches.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Bradford City as they have only managed to score 14 times from 17 away games in the league. 22 goals have been conceded by Bradford City in these games.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Bradford City - Newport County 1-0.
