History of the Bradford City v Chesterfield fixture

Chesterfield face a trip to Bradford City at Coral Windows Stadium on Monday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Spireites will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 23 and win only 6 of the 40 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in December 2006, the Bantams carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides

Bradford City's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. The Bantams's have scored 10 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 12.

Chesterfield's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Spireites have hit 6 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Bradford City see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League Two, showing a record of 47 points from their 36 games played so far, Chesterfield lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League Two, picking up 60 from their 39 games so far.
