Recent respective form guides
Bradford City will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While Bantams have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Northampton's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Only 2 goals have been registered in this time, with 4 leaked at the wrong end.
Bradford City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 41 points from 37 matches. Northampton find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 45 points from their 37 matches.
