Recent respective form guides
Bradford City's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Bantams have scored 4, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.
Sheff Utd's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The Blades's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.
Bradford City find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 10 points from their 8 matches. Sheff Utd are holding the final promotion place in the Nationwide League Division One, and have accumulated 17 points from the 8 games they have played so far.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Bantams at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Blades come away with an easy victory. Away win
