History of the Bradford City v Rotherham United fixture

Bradford City prepare to entertain Rotherham United at The Bradford & Bingley Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Bantams are clearly on top, winning 56.00% of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Bradford & Bingley Stadium was just last season, in August 2002, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-2 thriller, in a League Division One match.

Recent respective form guides

Bradford City's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Bantams have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Rotherham U.'s away form is none too clever either, losing only 1 of the last six, but drawing 4 of them. These low-scoring games have seen just 5 goals scored and conceded.

Bradford City are stuck down in the relegation zone of Nationwide League Division One with a return of just 17 points from their 23 games thus far. Rotherham U. find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 27 points from their 23 matches.
