Recent respective form guides

Bradford City's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Bantams have scored 5, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Grimsby Town's away form is none too clever either, losing just 1 from the last six, but amazingly drawing the other 5. Only 2 goals have been registered in this time, with 3 leaked at the wrong end.

Bradford City find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 33 points from their 27 matches. Grimsby Town are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League Two with a return of just 20 points from their 28 games thus far.
