Recent respective form guides

Bradford City need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Bantams have scored 7, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Cheltenham T.'s away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Robins have hit 4 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Bradford City see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League Two, showing a record of 29 points from their 22 games played so far, Cheltenham T. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 23 points from 23 matches.
