History of the Stockport County v Bradford City fixture

Bradford City pack their bags to visit Stockport County at Edgeley Park 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 29 and win only 12 of the 54 games.

The previous match played between the two at Edgeley Park was within the last three years, in March 2008, the Hatters carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Stockport County's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. Hatters have conceded a disappointing 21 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 1 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, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Stockport Co. find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 5 points from their 5 matches. Bradford City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 3 points from 5 matches.
