History of the Bradford City v Bristol City fixture

Bristol City travel to take on Bradford City at The Bradford & Bingley Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Robins will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The last time the two teams met at Bradford City was back in October 1998, over five years ago, with Bradford City annihilating their visitors 5 - 0 in a League Division One match.
