Bradford City will be looking to improve on their last outing here after the 2-0 League Two defeat in their last game at the hands of Port Vale.
Lorent Tolaj (11') and Mitch Clark (32') scored for Port Vale.
A recurring aspect of more recent Bradford City games is the high number of scores with a nil in them.
Taking their prior six matches leading up to this one, in 5 of them a wager on both teams scoring would've been a loser. Despite that, it remains to be seen if the trend will be sustained here in this game or not.
Going into this encounter, Bradford City have not beaten Crewe Alexandra in their previous 2 league games.
