Bradford Park Avenue form and stats

Let's have a look at how Bradford Park Avenue performed last season in the Vanarama National League North: They landed a 18th position in the league table after playing out 11 victories, 11 draws and 20 defeats. In total they scored 46 and conceded 70 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 5 and lost 12 with 20/38 goals scored/conceded.

Bradford Park Avenue are looking to quickly end their 393 minutes long goal drought in the Vanarama National League North.

Bradford's previous game was their home loss versus King's Lynn Town (0-1).

A 0-5 loss hosting Southport before that.

We have checked recent matches where Bradford Park Avenue have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 7 games were 1 victory, 2 draws and 4 defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Bradford manager Bower as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Scarborough Athletic.

Head 2 Head

As for the last four games between these two teams, there's three Kettering Town victories, zero draws and one Bradford Park Avenue win. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, one match with two goals or less. The matches between these teams sometimes lean towards being a bit wild, having seen 2 red cards from the last four duels.
