Bradford City
- Bradford City have won their last three League One home games, conceding 0.71 goals per game on home turf in 2025-26.
- Bradford City are sitting pretty in fourth position in the League One table with 58 points from 34 games.
- Graham Alexander took over as Valley Parade boss in November 2023 and has quickly made his mark on the squad, encouraging a high-tempo, transition-based approach which suits them at home.
- The Bantams have a back three structure, but their wing-backs bomb on aggressively, looking to create numerical advantages in the wide areas and break forward quickly when they win possession in the opponent’s half.
- At the other end, they press high and look to force turnovers, which is a recipe for success against teams that like to build up from the back.
Leyton Orient
- Leyton Orient have lost 11 of their 16 away League One matches, conceding 33 goals on the road.
- Leyton Orient are not yet safe from the drop, sitting in 21st position with 36 points from 33 matches in League One.
- Richie Wellens has led the Stags well since his appointment in March 2022, building a team that is patient on the ball, building up from the back, and creating overloads through their rotations.
- The Stags have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five, and will be buoyed by a spirited 2-1 away win over promotion-chasing Northampton Town in early April.
Key Players
Dominic Ballard has been the main threat for the visitors this season, netting 16 times in 27 League One appearances, while Matthew Pennington has chipped in with two goals in Bradford’s last five.
