Wrexham v Bradford

Wrexham vs Bradford Preview

Wrexham and Bradford City will lock horns at the Racecourse Ground in what is an all-League Two encounter in this EFL Cup 2nd round tie on Tuesday night with both teams vying for a place in the 3rd round of this season's competition.

Wrexham were handed a somewhat surprising but heavy 5-3 loss at home on the opening day of the domestic season when they suffered defeat to newly relegated side, MK Dons, but the Welsh club have quickly responded in positive fashion by putting together a five-match unbeaten sequence in subsequent matches.

The Dragons had to endure a tricky tie against Wigan Athletic in the 1st round of the EFL Cup which eventually saw the League Two side overcome The Latics by winning the penalty shoot-out and having also registered a 4-2 home win against Walsall in the league, the hosts look to have a decent chance of progressing through to the next round.

The bigger picture shows Wrexham have lost just two of their last 15 matches overall in all competitions while form and results on home soil are even more impressive; The Dragons have suffered just the one defeat in their last 33 games overall which also underlines Wrexham's threat ahead of this cup-tie.

Bradford City have also made a reasonable start to this new domestic campaign as The Bantams have picked up wins against Accrington Stanley in the 1st round of the EFL Cup (which incidentally was also on penalties), along with League Two wins against Colchester United and Crewe Alexandra respectively.

However, it should be noted that the latter two victories were both recorded on home soil at Valley Parade but losses away from home at Crawley Town and Morecambe perhaps emphasise Bradford's problems in gaining results on the road.

The bigger picture shows Bradford City have managed to collect just three wins out of their previous 13 matches across all competitions which also include no fewer than eight defeats within this period as well, while results on their travels have been even worse.

The Bantams have collected just one win from their last 10 outings on the road and having also been handed eight defeats in the process, the visitors look to have their work cut out in this upcoming cup tie on the road at Wrexham who have been tough to beat in recent weeks.

Wrexham v Bradford City Verdict

Wrexham have produced the more solid and consistent results out of these two teams and with home advantage behind the Welsh club, The Dragons look the more likely to come out on top in this all-League Two encounter.

Bradford City also hold a threat going forward but considering their poor record of results away from home, it's Wrexham that should get over the line here.
