Bradford probably aren’t going to be relishing this trip to face Rotherham as their record there hasn’t been good in recent times. The Bantams are still lodged in the play off places in League One, however, they have lost a lot of games lately while Rotherham are on a march up towards the play-off spots with a good stretch of positive form going.

BradfordRotherham Form
The Millers can be extremely pleased with their output really since early October. After a terrible seven-match winless streak, they have responded in some style to put together a W5 D3 record in their last eight league outings. They are W2 D2 in their last four at home and just out of interest, four of their five drawn matches this season have been 1-1 results. Overall this season Rotherham are W8 D2 L4 at the New York Stadium so have been a strong home side. They have averaged over two goals per game on home soil this season which is excellent and that should be a good enough margin to see off most visitors including Bradford. They have scored in each of their last twelve home league fixtures and in each of their last eighteen home and away combined. 43% of their home games have gone over 3.5 goals.
Bradford Form
The Bantams have lost four of their last six league games and their last two heading into this one. They were taken down at Bristol Rovers on the weekend, but overall they do actually have some pretty strong away form this season with a W9 D2 L3 record on the board. That has come through them having plenty of scoring power and they have averaged 1.8 goals per game on their travels, but they have been far from watertight at the back so both teams to score in this one looks some pretty decent value. 71% of Bradford’s away games this season have gotten up over the 2.5 goal mark and both teams have scored in 71% of their road games. Bradford have scored in all of their away games this season and have opened the scoring in 71% of their games home and away combined. They are without a clean sheet in their last eight though.
