Bristol City prepare to entertain Bradford City at Ashton Gate on Tuesday evening, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning 35.29 of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ashton Gate was just last season, in December 2005, with Bradford City inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Robins in a League One match.
