Bradford City, Recent FormLast time out, Bradford City went away feeling content with a 2-0 away win against Gillingham
Manager Mark Hughes will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have clocked up an impressive run of form in front of goal at University of Bradford Stadium recently, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 home matches. It's clear that with only 2 clean sheets from the last 6 matches at home, Hughes will have some concerns regarding his squad's defensive abilities of late.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Andy Cook will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Bradford City's last 6 league games.
Colchester United, Recent FormWith Northampton Town sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Colchester United won't feel totally dejected with their 1-0 home defeat by them last time out.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 4 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 4 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 outings away from home. Having shipped at least a single goal in 28 of their 34 league matches this season, they don't have an enviable defensive record this campaign.
They have had an excellent run of form away from home recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 games on the road.
On an individual basis, Junior Tchamadeu is giving Colchester United's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 3 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
Last time these two teams played each other in the league Colchester United sprung a suprise, upsetting the form book by winning the game 1-0.

Colchester has won the last 2 games they've played against Bradford in the league.
With no real injury worries, Bradford manager Mark Hughes will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
