History of the Wimbledon v Bradford City fixture

Wimbledon prepare to entertain Bradford City at National Hockey Stadium on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Dons are clearly on top, with a 57.14% success rate in the fixture.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at National Hockey Stadium was less than a year ago, in February 2003, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League Division One match.

Recent respective form guides

Wimbledon's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Dons have scored 7, a worringly large 17 have been leaked at the other end.

Bradford City's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Bantams have hit 5 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Wimbledon find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 15 games have yielded only 7 points. Bradford City are stuck down in the relegation zone of Nationwide League Division One with a return of just 12 points from their 15 games thus far.
