Recent respective form guides

Bury's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. The Shakers have conceded a disappointing 6 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Bradford City's away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the Bantams, and 8 goals against.

Bury are currently lying in 20th place in Coca-Cola League Two having mustered a points tally of 24 from their 24 matches played. Bradford City find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 30 points from their 24 matches.
