Rochdale, Recent FormAn important point secured against Mansfield Town will have left Rochdale quite happy with their 1-1 draw.
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 10 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have shown that they have a consistent appetite for goals at home of late, having clocked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches at Crown Oil Arena. With a defensive record that shows one or more goals given away in 18 of their 20 home matches so far this season, boss Jimmy McNulty will not be happy with his squad's capabilities at keeping a clean sheet at home.
It's been a mixed run of form for Rochdale recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games. They've shown terrible form at Crown Oil Arena this season, losing 12 of their 20 home league games.
On an individual basis, Danny Lloyd-McGoldrick will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Rochdale's last 6 league games.
Bradford City, Recent FormBradford City will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 3-1 winners in their home fixture against Sutton United.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 9, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 6 goals and some valuable points in the process. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 4 of their last 6 matches on their travels. Away from home, they have become reasonably solid at the back with 4 clean sheets in their last 6 away outings.
There will be mixed feelings from The Bantams, having been undefeated in their last 8 away league games, but drawn the last 3 of these games.
Andy Cook will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Bradford City.
Last time these two teams played each other in the league Rochdale sprung a suprise, upsetting the form book by winning the game 1-2.
The Bantams have managed to keep a clean sheet against Rochdale in each of their previous 2 visits to Crown Oil Arena. Playing away from home, Bradford have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Rochdale. The Dale have struggled for goals when Bradford comes to visit Crown Oil Arena, having scored just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
Bradford have managed to keep their hosts at bay for a very long time in this league fixture, denying Rochdale a win at home for 8 games in a row.
Ian Henderson will be feeling confident of netting goals for Rochdale in this one against Bradford with his scoring record of 6 goals in their last 5 meetings in the league.
Bradford City 1 - 2 RochdaleWith no real injury worries, Rochdale manager Jimmy McNulty will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Bradford manager Mark Hughes has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
