Bradford City boss Mark Hughes will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 3-0 away mauling from Leyton Orient.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 9 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Having found the back of the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at University of Bradford Stadium, they are developing an impressive scoring record at home. Hughes will have some concerns about his team's back line after only making 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home matches.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 home games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
On an individual basis, Andy Cook will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 13 goals in Bradford City's 20 league games this season.

On the back of a tough 4-1 home defeat by Harrogate Town, Rochdale manager Jim Bentley will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset.
Having conceded 8 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 4 points. As defensive records go, they don't have one to celebrate, with at least 1 goal shipped in 17 of their 20 league matches this season. After failing to get on the scoresheet in 6 away games out of 10 this season, Bentley will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards.
They have been on a bad run over their last 6 league matches, with 4 defeats and only 1 victory, so they know full well that a change of form is needed if they want to begin moving up the league table. It has been a particularly poor run of form in the league, having racked up 13 defeats in 20 games.
Bradford City vs. Rochdale Head to head
The previous match between these two ended without a goal and a share of the spoils, so it wasn't one to remember on that occasion.
Bradford have managed to keep a clean sheet against The Dale in each of their previous 3 meetings. Playing at home, Bradford have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Rochdale.
In the last 3 league matches against Bradford, Rochdale have failed to record a victory.
Rochdale man Ian Henderson will be out for more of the same in front of goal in this match against Bradford, having bagged 4 goals in the last 3 encounters between these sides at University of Bradford Stadium.
