Recent respective form guides

Crewe Alexandra have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. A generous 9 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Bradford City's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Bantams have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Crewe Alex. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Npower League Two, picking up 26 points from their 19 games so far. Bradford City see themselves just below half way in the Npower League Two, showing a record of 24 points from their 19 games played so far,
