Bradford City, Recent FormBradford City manager Mark Hughes will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Newport County.
They have amassed a limited number of points from their last 6 matches, despite only letting in 2 goals; this has been primarily due to their indifferent form in front of goal with 6 goals spread across those 6 matches. They have recently found some good scoring form at home, hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at University of Bradford Stadium. They are proving tough to beat, keeping 4 clean sheets in their last 6 games.
They've shown some decent form of late, being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches, with 3 of the 5 being victories for good measure.
Andy Cook will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Bradford City.
Hartlepool United, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 1-1 draw against Northampton Town will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Hartlepool United.
John Askey will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 7 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 10 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. Away goals have been high on their agenda recently, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away league games. This season, their defensive frailties have certainly been apparent, having conceded at least 1 goal in 30 of their 36 league games.
They've drawn their last 3 games, but their search for a win in a league game extends even further with 7 consecutive games without a win.
On an individual basis, Dan Kemp will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Hartlepool United's last 6 league games.
The 1-3 victory which Bradford City recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
With at least 1 goal in each of their last 6 away matches against Bradford in the league, The Pool have built a decent scoring record that they will be keen to extend. The Bantams have struggled to keep Hartlepool at bay when these two teams have met at University of Bradford Stadium, during the last 3 times they have hosted Hartlepool in the league, they have conceded a total of 6 goals.
In the league, Hartlepool has a good track record when they travel to Bradford, getting the better of them to win their last 3 games.
With no real injury worries, Bradford manager Mark Hughes will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Hartlepool manager John Askey has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
