Bradford City prepare to entertain Rochdale at Coral Windows Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Bantams are clearly on top, having won 24 and lost only 7 of the 38 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Coral Windows Stadium was less than a year ago, in February 2008, with Rochdale inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Bantams in a League Two match.
