Carlisle United, Recent FormCarlisle United manager Paul Simpson will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Sutton United.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 10 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. When playing at home this season, Carlisle United has notched up a tally of 5 clean sheets, highlighting the struggle some of their opponents have had to break through on goal.
They've drawn their last 2 league games at Brunton Park, but their search for a home win in the league extends even further having gone 3 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Carlisle United, Kristian Dennis will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Bradford City, Recent FormBuilding up confidence within his squad will be a priority for Bradford City supremo Mark Hughes after sustaining a heavy 3-0 away loss to Leyton Orient.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
They have had a strong run of away form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 4 wins along the way.
The Bradford City travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Andy Cook, who's scored 4 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
Carlisle United suffered the disappointment of a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Bradford City the last time they met in the league.
Playing at home, Carlisle have won the last 2 and are unbeaten in the last 6 times they have faced Bradford in the league.
With no real injury worries, Carlisle manager Paul Simpson will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Bradford manager Mark Hughes has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
