Match Preview

Bradford head into the Easter weekend desperate to shake off some nerves following a 2-1 away defeat to a relegation-threatened Burton Albion side. The Bantams remain fourth in the standings but have taken just one point from the last nine available. With five teams fighting hard to break into the play-off picture, a win here is critical.

Northampton suffered a catastrophic 4-1 away defeat to Mansfield in their most recent League One contest, meaning the Cobblers are staring down the barrel at relegation heading into the business end of the season. The managerless visitors have lost seven and drawn two of their last nine league matches heading into this game at the University of Bradford Stadium.
