History of the Bristol City v Bradford City fixture

Bradford City face a trip to Bristol City at Ashton Gate on Tuesday evening, having the edge over their hosts in previous meetings. The visitors have won 8 of the 16 previous games, with the hosts winning just 6.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in January 2005, when they played out a goalless draw in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides

Bristol City's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Robins have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Bradford City's away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The Bantams's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 5 goals for and 4 against.

Bristol City find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 19 games have yielded only 16 points. Bradford City see themselves just below half way in the Coca Cola League One, showing a record of 25 points from their 19 games played so far,
