Recent respective form guides
Bradford City's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Bantams have scored 4, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Sunderland's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Black Cats have hit 4 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Bradford City find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 4 points from their 4 matches. Sunderland's 6 points from 4 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Bradford City at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Bantams will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
