Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head:

Stevenage are the surprise package of League One this season, keeping up with the division’s big boys in the early stages.

The Boro have won 8 of their 11 matches, claiming 25 points from a possible 33 to sit 2nd in the table. Cardiff City overtook them at the top of the division last weekend after Stevenage suffered their only defeat in the last 5 matches at the hands of Lincoln City.

That 5 match run began with a 1-1 draw at Mansfield Town that was secured thanks to a Charlie Goode strike. Harvey White and Jordan Roberts were on target to beat Exeter City 2-1 at The Lamex Stadium before White hit the net again alongside Lewis Freestone and Carl Piergianni to record an impressive 3-2 away win at Leyton Orient.

Chem Campbell opened the scoring in Boro’s next match at home to Luton Town before Roberts netted his 2nd goal of the season to secure all 3 points before suffering defeat away from home at The Imps.

Stevenage have scored 17 goals this season, far above their xG of 10.9, indicating their lethal approach in front of goal. Northern Ireland international Jamie Reid leads the scoring charts with 5 goals while Harvey White has chipped in with 3 assists.

Alex Revell’s side have the best defensive record in the division, conceding just 9 goals at an average of 0.8 per match and have kept 4 clean sheets.

Following their promotion from League Two, Bradford City have enjoyed an excellent start to life at a higher level. The Bantams have won 7 and lost just 1 of their opening 12 matches, claiming 25 points and sitting behind their opponents on goal difference.

Graham Alexander’s side are on an unbeaten 5 game run that has included 3 wins. That run began with an impressive 3-1 home victory over rivals Huddersfield Town thanks to a Bobby Pointon brace and a Josh Neufville strike.

Bradford followed that up with another superb win, this time away at Cardiff City. Goals from Tommy Leigh, Antoni Sarcevic and another from Neufville secured a second consecutive 3-1 win. Strugglers Blackpool were beaten at the University of Bradford Stadium thanks to Neufville’s 3rd goal in 3 games before Sarcevic and Pointon earned a point on the road at Rotherham United.

The Bantams then took a point thanks to a 2-2 draw at home to Barnsley, with Sarcevic and Stephen Humphrys getting the goals.

Bradford City have scored 22 goals so far this season at a division high average of 1.8 goals per game. Bobby Pointon and Antoni Sarcevic lead the way with 5 goals apiece with Neufville, Will Swan and Sarcevic contributing 2 assists each.

Alexander’s side have been open defensively, conceding 15 goals at 1.3 per game and managing just 2 clean sheets.

The last 12 meetings between these two have been dominated by Bradford City, with the Bantams winning 8 and losing just 2 of those encounters.

Their last meetings came in the 2022-23 season and saw Bradford complete the double over their opponents despite Stevenage going on to finish 2nd and earn promotion to League One.

In the first meeting in Yorkshire, Andy Cook scored 2 and Tyreik Wright completed the scoring to hand City a 3-0 victory. The reverse fixture was settled in dramatic fashion when Jamie Walker scored a late winner to edge the game 3-2 in favour of The Bantams.

Stevenage have scored 12 times in 12 matches compared to Bradford’s 23 goals, giving the games an average of almost 3 goals per game.
