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.

Leyton Orient's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the O's have hit 8 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Bradford City are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 46 points from their 43 games thus far. Leyton Orient are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 48 points from 43 matches.

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
