Recent respective form guides

Bradford City need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Bantams have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Blackpool's away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. The Seasiders's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 8 goals for and 6 against.

Bradford City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 41 points from 38 matches. Blackpool's total of 59 points from their 37 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League One.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Bantams at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Seasiders come away with an easy victory. Away win
