Recent respective form guides

Bradford City's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Bantams have scored 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Oldham Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The Latics's have scored 9 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.

Bradford City are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 42 points from their 41 games thus far. Oldham Ath. are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 68 points from 41 games.
