Recent respective form guides
Bradford City may have lost only 1 of their last six home games, but the other 5 have resulted in drawn games. While Bantams have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Blackpool's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Seasiders have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Bradford City see themselves just below half way in the Coca Cola League One, showing a record of 45 points from their 37 games played so far, Blackpool find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 44 points from their 37 matches.

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. Score draw
