History of the Shrewsbury Town v Bradford City fixture

Bradford City face a trip to Shrewsbury Town at Prostar Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bantams will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 14 and win only 5 of the 22 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in September 2009, with Bradford City inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the Shrews in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Shrewsbury Town's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. Shrews have conceded a disappointing 7 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Bradford City's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Bantams have hit 4 goals, 7 have hit the back of the wrong net.
