Bradford v Notts County

Bradford vs Notts County Preview

Bradford City slumped to a second home defeat on the trot on Saturday when they were soundly thrashed 5-1 by promotion hopefuls, Mansfield Town, but the Yorkshire hosts have another chance to redeem themselves in front of their home fans on Tuesday night when they play host to a Notts County outfit whose winless run in League Two was extended to six games following a 2-2 draw away from home at Accrington Stanley.

Bradford City currently occupy 13th place in the League Two standings but having suffered recent back-to-back defeats on home soil to Forest Green Rovers and the aforementioned Mansfield Town, The Bantams will be eager to set the record straight here on Tuesday night.

Bradford City had previously put together a promising looking six-match unbeaten run in the English fourth tier which consisted of two draws but also four wins with impressive victories gained over the likes of Wrexham, MK Dons, Sutton United and Accrington Stanley and even more impressive is the fact that Bradford had kept five clean sheets within these preceding six games.

Results at home will also give Gary Alexander's side a lift despite the two recent losses as the bigger picture shows the hosts have been handed just five defeats from their previous 27 home games in League Two.

Notts County dropped down the League Two table to 17th place after what was a fairly encouraging 2-2 draw away from home at Accrington Stanley but nevertheless, The Magpies have now failed to win any of their last six league matches in the fourth tier and to make matters worse, the visitors have also been dealt five defeats within this period as well.

Defeats at the hands of Wrexham, Crewe Alexandra, Sutton United, AFC Wimbledon and Crawley Town respectively have seen Notts County slide down the table while the bigger picture isn't much better as Stuart Maynard's side have managed to capture just one win from their last 12 matches overall.

Within this miserable 12-game sequence, Notts County have been dealt no fewer than eight defeats in the process, four of which have been incurred on their travels as Notts County have suffered defeats on the road at Tranmere Rovers, Mansfield Town, Wrexham and Crawley Town respectively which does not bode well for this upcoming trip to Valley Parade to take on Bradford City.

Indeed, the bigger picture shows Notts County have collected just one win from their previous 11 outings on the road, slipping to eight defeats in the process.
